Mostly I use kdenlive, but if you have an actioncam which also records movement (pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation) use a tool like Gyroflow! This will use the motion data to correct the movement!
I was playing around with Phantomjs a headless browser. Using this as a scraper for a ajax enabled site.
After scraping a wallpaper site, I wanted to take the big pictures and display these as background.
First sort and resize to a better size.
Below does the following:
Image width larger than 1800 AND
Image height larger than 900
Resize to 1920×1080 ( enlarge or reduce size )
Not screen filling (portrait mode) ? Than add black bars on the side.
Place the image in wallpaper directory
Convert script, if you resize huge images beforehand, you safe cpu resources later. You also can place other colors or even another background instead of black.
mkdir -p wallpaper
ls * | while read ; do
info=$(identify "$REPLY" | awk '{ print $3 }' 2>/dev/null)
height=$( echo $info | cut -f2 -dx)
width=$( echo $info | cut -f1 -dx)
if [ $width -gt 1800 ] && [ $height -gt 900 ] ; then
convert -resize 1920x1080 -gravity center -background black -extent 1920x1080 "$REPLY" "wallpaper/$REPLY"
fi
done
Set a random wallpaper as background using cron.
#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=":0.0"
XAUTHORITY="/home/henri/.Xauthority"
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/1000"
cd /home/henri/Pictures/
getranpic=$(ls wallpaper/ |sort -R |tail -1)
#gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'wallpaper'
#Set different modes ( enum 'none' 'wallpaper' 'centered' 'scaled' 'stretched' 'zoom' 'spanned' )
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri-dark "$(realpath wallpaper/$getranpic)"
logger "$(realpath $getranpic)"
They all have their benefits. But I want the impossible. One with all the benefits. We choose the bag depending on the occasion, but for example a large bag is perfect for a far away vacation, sometimes we do daytrips which can be done with a smaller bag. And I want an even smaller bag when going to the city to get something to eat when on holiday. Or the day trips to family or other cities in our country.
Also the means of transport matters.
Bike: Small one Own car: Big bag and a small one Plane: We have been all over the world, it depends on travel and transport in those countries.
I LOVE the ones with easy access. (Slingshot and mindshift) Some of them have a way to take your tripod with you.
Sometimes we have to take two camera’s with us, so we don’t fight. (Vertex and Mindshift take two)
Lowepro Vertex 200 AW
Comes with a tripod holder, lots of pockets and easy adjustable. Plus it has a rain cover hidden in the bottom.
Hama
A real small bag. This one we use for day trips. Holds camera plus a lens or our small binoculars.
Lowepro Slingshot Edge
This is another day trip bag. For when we need a little more room or take some food with us. Love the sling concept, but not much used anymore.
Mindshift Gear Rotation 180 Horizon
I love this bag! We took this one with us to Peru and Bolivia. Easy on the shoulders and back. I carried this one the whole day for several weeks. The camera sling rests on your hips.
What we take with us in the big bags?
Filters: Polarisation/8x Stop filters + ring adaptors
Pizza’s eaten: Too many ( sometimes 2 times a day), it was hard to get something else to eat besides Pizza and Pasta.
Oldest building : 500BC
Km walked: 220Km Km driven: ? (calculating) Will update when i post something about unwritten traffic rules in Italy.
Types of transport: Plane, train, metro/subway, bus, scooter, bike, car, walking
Temperature high: 32 Temperature low: 16
About the photos .. it finally happened. More mobile photos where taken than with our trusty Nikon! (Read our New Zealand post, why trusty .. rain damage on both Mobile and Nikon D750)
Some data about longer trips since 2010
This has multiple reasons:
Coline took loads of mobile phone pictures. (I was mostly in charge of the Nikon) She is trigger happy ..
We didn’t take the big camera always with us at night, going for dinner.
Sometimes it was too hot for me to focus on taking good pictures.
I didn’t make panoramic and time-lapse photos.
Why still use dlsr?
Better sensors (larger image chip) Small image ICs give more cross noise due to the image pixelsensors being to close to each other) So more pixels does NOT equal better images!
More control over your settings.
Better lenses and faster. Better aperture equals better DOF!! (Depth of field)
Drag and drop image for displaying on a kodi instance
Button to start slideshow of a directory
Open image in browser with obfuscated image url (not shown in movie)

Kodi enable http control and disable authentication (if you want to use authentication, change the curl commands accordingly)
Below the multiple PHP files, i’ve removed a lot of code specific for my manager.
By the way, I love this trick:
header("HTTP/1.1 204 NO CONTENT");
I’ve you put this in the top of your php script which is linked from the first page, you won’t open this link in your browser, but it gets executed nevertheless!

Below a example of what your can do with the code above
We take a lot of pictures, with our Nikon camera and our mobile phones.
(Apparently in 2019 5544 pictures)
Some stats
757 20190803 - on a single day (Holiday)
Average pictures per month
locate "/2019/" | egrep -i "photoalbum|gsm" | egrep -i "mp4$|jpg$" | grep -Eo '2[[:digit:]]{3}[[:digit:]]{2}[[:digit:]]{2}' | cut -c-6 |sort | uniq -c | sort -n | awk '{ sum += $1; n++ } END { if (n > 0) print sum / n; }'

Besides android pictures being automatically uploaded to our nextcloud, I’m using some apps and scripts to get pictures and movies stored on my fileserver. (bash scripts/andftp)
For sorting those media files, i made a sorting script. (Today I added a location sorting addition using GPS information stored in the exif information.
jpg and jpeg (add your own extentions)
mp4 and mov (for mobile and nikon)
Sorts by camera model/year/date/location
tries to extract date from filename when not found in exifinfo
Sorts whatsapp media
Sorts Raw
