A little while ago I came across a very interesting tutorial of Time Elapsed Photography using a N-series device on Symbian Addict,which might sound like something not possible at all,but the truth is it works and there was an perfect example of a plant growth documented and posted along with it.This article really caught my mind and I was thinking of doing somewhat similar but with the tight schedule of work I couldn’t find time for that,but the Idea was never forgotten. On 20th of July while I was searching for good subject for my next “Nature Through N95 8GB” post I discovered a Nest of an Indian Robin(A magpie Species),with two newly hatched chicks inside.I thought of documenting their growth everyday with my N95 8GB,as I still had the idea of time elapsed video.This might not be the same thing but with a different and wide time scale.So except for two rainy days(I didn’t want to get close to the nest in those two days as it wasn’t in an open space,and I was afraid that my presence would chase the mother away from the nest and the little ones would exposed to the rain)I photographed them each day for a period of 13days,and honestly saying its such a pleasure to observe their growth day by day.They were rapidly growing(notice the difference that the gap has made on their growth)and on the 13th day I thought I might get a chance to photograph them in open space,and I was waiting till the sunlight reaches a good level.But in nature things are happening suddenly without any prior warning, creating happiness and sadness both,every animal become a meal to another,that’s the way life has evolved.At that morning I was bit late and the little guys were in a hurry to see the rising sun,but the crows have found them and nothing was left only the empty nest was there. The life of 13 days has created this photo-story on my N95 8GB and this would help you to understand the uncertainty of everything around us.
