Escape from the Camera by Search and D.Stroi
October 11th, 2007 5:46 PM
Since it was raining when I attempted this, I decided to do it indoors. The first few I ran, I didn't get nearly as far as I had hoped (like two feet). Then I realized that I just needed to get away from the camera. Having more vertical space, I decided to jump. This was clearly the best way to escape from it indoors. The third thing I tried is to fall backwards, escaping it by falling out of frame which didnt work at all, but its still funny. I have documented my pseudo success.

attempt #1, having fun, but totally in the frame

attempt #2, a bit more out of the frame
jump3.jpg
#3 um... not good enough and slightly disturbing

#4 alot more out.... probably the most successful

this is where I dropped instead of jumped, notice how the blankets have almost concealed my body... thats some good impact.

Vote for the top photo. You are having so much fun.
Another fun completion of this task. Welcome to the game!
I've gotten tripped up myself in the past by the way the SF0 image scripts handle exif data. That's the text that's embedded along with a jpeg image, which in most modern cameras (like your PowerShot A560) includes information about which direction is up.
Your images include an "Orientation: RightTop" tag, which doesn't seem to be doing the right thing. Did you open them in an image editing program and rotate them by hand before uploading them? My guess is that your image editor preserved the exif data and the sf0 scripts applied an additional rotation.
You may want to look for an option to strip exif headers in your editor program. Or, failing that, you could just rotate them in the opposite direction before uploading.
