Camerapunk and the race against time.

[reddragdiva]

ali_anarres enjoyed an attack of Camden today. Amongst other things, she got herself some poi.

The pics are a mix of 50 ASA and 400 ASA - the blur with the former actually works quite well with poi twirling.

The process: Images extracted from camera. Two turned sideways with jpegtran -rotate 90. Run through a script which does (more or less) jpegtopnm | pnmscale 0.3125 | pnmconvol sharpen3.pnm | pnmtopjeg (where sharpen3.pnm is a convolution matrix I found). Run through a simple index page script, tart a little in Mozilla Composer. scp to Velvet. The result.

(Still needed: something to ascertain the height and width of a JPEG from the command line. rdjpgcom -verbose is almost there, but not quite.)

I can see myself putting up a page of netpbm scripts, recipes and convolution files. Just because.

Geek quotient:

1. The camera.
2. That the pics are up just two hours later.
3. Editing the photos on the command line.
4. Writing new scripts especially for the purpose.
5. Writing new filters especially for the purpose.
6. The subject herself.
