Now with video!
My Christmas present from Mike was a time-lapse camera, so I tried it out this morning while we were out hacking:
(I assume that that will work!)
(It's the Next Door horse, not either of ours.)
While we were out hacking, we noticed what the tree that came down at the end of our lane had done to the road sign:

Oops. Hope no one is relying on that to get to us in the near future!
Hacking was tediously muddy. Even GB was slipping around at one point. We decided not to take the pooch up there, partly because it was so muddy and partly because we weren't sure which way the Hunt were going to go, so we went to the beech instead, having this time checked to make sure that it was low tide. It appears that lots of other people had had the same idea, so Jodie had a nice time meeting lots of other dogs and tiring herself out chasing after the birds. Lovely afternoon.
We'd left the boys in the stableyard again, as the field is still muddy. They wandered back up into the alleyway, but that was fine. Then they decided that the field did actually look quite appealing, and turned themselves out! The electric fence was both switched off and half come undone in the wind, but they apparently respected it anyway and stayed in the right half. I'm afraid that they're not going to be allowed to do that again tomorrow: if they go out at all, they'll have to have the gate shut to keep them in the stableyard. Bloody weather, we need a good freeze, rather than just the half-hearted frost that we got last night!

Or maybe it's because you mostly photograph towards the sun?
Can you produce slower time-lapses? They're fascinating, but that one's a bit quick for a slow brain and stupid YouTube doesn't have a slow mode...

I can do time lapses with more pictures, but I don't think I can make the resulting video play less slowly.
