Deep Zooming

Here’s my first effort with DeepZoom (it’ll prompt you to install Silverlight if you don’t already have this). 

 

Here is the same image set using HDView from Microsoft Research.

Next on the shopping list is the GigaPan Epic 100 and a Tokina 11-16mm UltraWide Lens.

Turnham Green

I sit on this platform every morning waiting for District Line trains, and this is the frustrating view of ones on the Picadilly line flying by without stopping. Perhaps time to join the STOP campaign?

Not impressed

Iced off

Was supposed to be going to the Fulham football match against Blackburn Rovers today but it has been cancelled to to a frozen pitch.  They only realised this 90 minutes before the match was about to start. Infact i had walked all the way to the tube, been shivering on a platform for 20 mins before i found out. 

Recently traded in my Nikkon D80 for the new D90 model.  So far i’m really liking it; i was sceptical of the new HD video feature, but am finding i use it more and more.  Having an HD video camera (720p) which you can attach different lenses to is a great bonus.  Celebrated the new camera by buying a Sigma Macro 105mm F2.8 lens.  Here’s a picture of some snow, and the sphere of Drammen

Maybe i’ll enter this year’s Tropfest, the theme is a spring..?
