RE: Turntable + Camera Rotations

It's great to experiment. And see your thought process too. There's a FB Camera Rotation and Kinetic Photography group you might want to take a look at for CRT methods :-)

Yes, experimentation and often the “mistakes” is how all the cool stuff comes to fruition. My thought process here consisted mainly of “How much stuff can I attach to this lightstand without it falling over and/or breaking the turntable” 🤣 I’ve already repaired the thing once. Also, similar to your IG exit, I just had a fb exit just as of yesterday! So unless if I go back within the 30 day allotted time and cancel the delete, I’m outta there like a herd of turtles. Simplifying my life a bit 🙃
If I didn't run the Camera Rotation Group on FB I'd have probably left too. I could happily live my social media life on the Hive as the sole form of social media.
I like to experiment too. I have a hard drive full of failures where what I set out to do didn't work but the experience saves me time on the next shot. One or two of the failures have been down to equipment failure in my case so I tend to run with it and adapt like with this one where the tripod head had collapsed and wouldn't sit level:
I’m always seeming to forget to properly tighten down the head... overzealously going for the shot and it’s like NOPE SLOW DOWN COWBOY 🤣 As much as I love those lens swap pics, I’m still wary of trying. Perhaps I might try some lightpainting double exposure since my camera has that feature but swapping mid exposure... one needs balls of steel for that 😉 And yeah FB tends to get more and more involved over time, making it harder to leave and I figured if not now it’s probably never going to happen. Admittedly I’m still on the fence but as we all know it’s more “worthwhile” posting on here. Like you said Zuck doesn’t need more dollars. Also all the constant talk/ads of the metaverse turns me off. “Real World” is enough without having to invent some parallel cyber universe to exist in. Potentially scary thing about hive is there is never any account delete if one day decided wanted to do that too for whatever reason. But yeah that’s something to keep in mind and not post all your personal details. Thats what blockchains are I suppose. One last thing, whats the T stand for in CRT? Techniques?
CRT = Camera Rotation Tool. We had a kind of committe amongst other rotating photographers and that name seems to have stuck. If you look up indexing rotator or panoramic gimbal; these are alternative method for rotating a camera around the lens axis.
I just bought an expensive new camera and it's really making me slow down and tighten "everything" !!
Aha, I wouldn't have thought of that T 😜 If/when (most likely when) I come up with my rotator tool I'll be writing up here all about it. As well maybe I would just go with the indexing rotator, they're not insanely expensive and relative to what I'm envisioning would be a fairly compact piece of kit. As well, congrats on the new camera! I bet you'd want to be careful. I'll still be in SLR land for quite a while but excited to hear how it's working out for ya when you get a chance.
