Been creating a few “Little Planets” from 360 degree panoramas. The technique is fairly simple. Hopefully we’ll create and post one based on the views from our office soon. Future developments include creating a moving image version using HD video cameras syncronised and stitched together.
I was out on the balcony trying to get some nice shots of another beautiful day yesterday and tried a different technique. I wanted to see what it would be like taking a photo using binoculars and these are the results. I love how one of them almost look like a planet.
Thought I’d share the amaizing pic used for the front cover of this months plus 1 magazine. The image is of Jeff Stewart (yup thats right PC Reg Hollis in the ITV drama The Bill) who is an actor/model/percussionist, not your most conventional mainstream model but I loving his new look.
Came across a cool photography website ‘Abandoned Britain’ which shows some amazing pics of old abandoned industrial buildings. Among the photographs there are some great atmospheric images of old schools, swimming baths. My favorite are the images from the asylums and hospitals. The natural lighting produces surreal and rather frightening images of these places.
The site is well worth a look, here is what the intro page says.
Britain is a country dotted with the decaying ruins from its past. The face of the country has seen great changes moving away form its industrial past, towards a new and less certain future. The buildings and institutions that belong to another era have been left to rot, alone and forgotten.
From mental hospitals to massive mills I have been visiting some of Britain’s most Inspiring (and in some cases uninspiring) modern ruins. This website creates a record of places before their destruction, Creating a permanent archive of images.
