I just went on a trip! Spent last week with an old uni- and China-friend of mine. It was her first time in Europe, so we had to do the obligatories: Amsterdam (easy), Paris (of course), and Barcelona (something new).

To make the below video of the nearly 400 pics that I shot (which was not nearly enough – - I just didn’t want to look like a tourist the whole time), I used some Linux/FOSS tools. The learning curve was steep (as in, it is difficult to climb), but once you learn the methods you’ve got pretty good control. At any rate, this is my first video slideshow, and it gives me some good ideas for things to shoot in the future.
