Polar Images

John Colebrook — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 14:17:50 +0000

This image was taken from a helicopter above Melbourne with 5 Canon 5D Mark2s. A Standard Equi Image was stitched and then a Polar view was then applied in Photoshop. If there is interest I will Produce a tutorial.

Shaving Sigma 10mm Lenses

John Colebrook — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 13:58:25 +0000

I have now cut through 12 Sigma 10mm hoods with only 1 casualty. The problem is the hoods are made of quite thick aluminum so care must be taken. The hood is only 2 mm from the lens so a hacksaw is out the question so I bought this bench drill and grinding disc specifically for this task.

Gigapixel Tagging System

A public Tagging system where viewers can leave comments within views. Although this isn`t a Gigapixel it will certainly work with them.

Busy Times

Vancouver Again!

John Colebrook — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 09:38:36 +0000

I’m off to Vancouver Again to shoot aerial panoramas just east of Vancouver Island for a Heli Fishing Resort! – My Equipment is all packed up including the 5Ds – I spent a whole week reducing weight to the frame and trying other folding possibilities.

Although it will mainly be for aerial panoramas, I hope to capture some video footage for the resort with Ryan of NS360.

Tours From Above = slightly very popular

For a startup – this little site by Tom Mills and myself is going quite well, hits are around the 10,000 a day mark at the moment and growing steadily – Hope to get more aerials on it soon!

Canberra Video360 Testing

John Colebrook — Mon, 17 May 2010 09:24:12 +0000

This week I have been testing 360Video with newly modified rig with 12.5% tilt (and a drill bit through one finger:( ) in Canberra – The capital Of Australia.

I have already captured over 200 aerial panoramas above this great little city for Simmersion. Initial testing showed that after camera sync that HD video capture is possible at around 3000 by 1500 pixels.

Sydney and Melbourne

John Colebrook — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:17:31 +0000

I have just returned form a Quick trip to Sydney and Melbourne to capture the skies above both cities – Over 60 aerial panoramas in 2 hours flight including places like the Olympic Village, Opera House, MCG, Bondi Beach, Docklands and many others – Here are some links:

I also experimented with HDR Aerials using a modified BIOS hack which forced 3 brackets in 1/5th of a second – you will see that at Maquarie Lighthouse in Sydney. The first of its kind in the world I`m sure.
