Panorama in all directions...

[gdavidson]

Thanks spondoolix! These aerial 360s are quite an effort to stitch together and composed of two panoramas - one of the ground from the air and the other of the sky from the ground. Two cameras are used to take the panorama one on the drone and the other a DSLR on the ground.

Composition is tricky - purely based on my choice of location! When I get back home, I'll pop up another interesting location. Legal restrictions on where one flies does limit the choice somewhat.

It's good fun though!

Excellent, I looked at "Montrose with a little twist" late last night and had big problems understanding how the image looks like a puddle, but it isn't. This morning I get the twist - fantastic composition.

Haha - yes, it's an unexpected assault on the visual senses! Would be all the more fun to have a large deity like figure kneeling in the "puddle"

Do you have a Drone?

I do indeed - using a Phantom 4 to get these shots. Only 12 Mpixel the I'm wringing all the detail I can from it!

I think how Graeme speaks is quite immaterial..

Lol! We Scotsmen let our bagpipes do all the droning

Graeme,

Your always excellent photography has achieved new dimensions: up, down, around and around...and around...
Very clever and well done.

Thank you Fred - that is so kind of you to say!

I prefer to think that you don't have a drone, just an armchair, a load of helium balloons and a long rope.

It is Scotland, after all.. ;-)

Reminds me of the film, "Up"!

A priest also did it and died, I believe.

Wow, that's amazing. I didn't know someone had actually done that!
