Dolnik

This is a personal video I made to showcase the timelapse photography I captured during a camping trip I went on with my friends. During this trip I experimented with night photography and a slow panning timelapse system I built using a telescope mount.

As photography is a hobby of mine, back in 2007 I decided to create a custom photo organization tool to display photos I have taken using Adobe Flash, PHP, and SQL. It made uploading, organizing, and displaying pictures on dolnik.ca a very easy and automated process. All pictures uploaded have their meta-data automatically read, and organized into a SQL database to allow for easy picture searching and viewing, depending on factors such as date, location, rating, tags, etc. As of today, this system contains over 8500 images.

In 2009, the landing page of dolnik.ca had an upgrade for usability and stylization using Flash to create a videoscape of a mountain top setting based off of a picture of myself during a hike up one of the local mountains around Vancouver. In the background are randomly generated clouds in front of a timelapse of the setting sun, also captured during that same hike.
