Reims – Iemza, Street Art

Reims - Iemza, Street Art

On the way back from Luxembourg we detoured through France to visit a derelict industrial compound that was due to be flattened. there were still a few buildings left, this one in particular held what we had come to see. The artist of the insect like beings is IEMZA. There’s a lot of work gone [...]


Filter House Gallery – Panorama

Filter House Gallery - Panorama

Just outside Sheffield is a disused filterhouse, it’s a haven for creatives and their excellent art. I was lucky enough to meet one of the artists here as he was working on a new piece. It’s over six months since I’ve been here and was amazed to see that the walls have changed – such [...]


Cotehele Quay

Cotehele Quay

Cotehele Quay is on the River Tamar and was once a busy transit and freight quay, market gardeners sent their wares to Plymouth from here and no doubt the local mines will have also used it. The quay and area in general is dotted with lime kilns. The lime would have been used in agriculture [...]


Notre Dame de Lourdes – Casablanca

Notre Dame de Lourdes - Casablanca

Back to Morocco and a rather nice 360. I specifically went to the cathedral to capture this image. I’d seen interiors shots of the cathedral before but not a full 360 and certainly not an HDR 360. As you can hopefully see its a pretty impressive structure from the inside, outside is rather more mundane. [...]


Cotehele House – Ornamental Pond

Cotehele House - Ornamental Pond

Above the house is an ornamental pond, its a really nice spot in the summer with plenty of fish in the water, however they all seem to be in hiding and I didnt see any at all on this day. Maybe they were keeping warm!   Click the icon in the bottom right for the [...]


National Trust – Cotehele Courtyard #2

National Trust - Cotehele Courtyard #2

The present house was built between 1485 and 1539 during the reigns of Richard III, Henry VII and Henry VIII. Sir Richard Edgcumbe, was rewarded for his loyalty to Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth (the battle was in 1485), started to completely remodel the original 13th century property. Following Richard Edgcumbe’s death 4 [...]


National Trust House – Cotehele Courtyard #1

National Trust House - Cotehele Courtyard #1

Local to where my Mum lives is a beautiful National Trust house.I’ve been going here for over 20 years, well before I had an interest in photography. The house was built around 1485 and is one of the least changed Tudor buildings in the UK. I took the opportunity to check it out again over [...]


Casablanca – Hassan II Mosque

Casablanca - Hassan II Mosque

I’ve been a bit lazy and taken the info below from Wikipedia, but suffice is to say the mosque is a sight to behold – massive and intricate, built in only six years, it stands on reclaimed land, King Hassan declared that the throne of Allah was on water and therefore that is where the [...]


Morocco – Dakhla Attitude #1

Morocco - Dakhla Attitude #1

Over the last week I have had the good fortune to go on holiday and indulge myself in a little kitesurfing in Morocco. Suffice is to say that I had an excellent time and really enjoyed the break. I’ll add a few more images and hopefully some cool 360s over the coming week or so [...]


Panorama – Trafalgar Square

Panorama - Trafalgar Square

First stop on my walk – Traflagar Square. This was another challenge to process – so many people in the shot, all moving across the view, somewhat fiddly to sort out, but I did the best I could to mask out the people.   BEST VIEWED IN FULL SCREEN, USE THE RIGHT HAND ICON. I’ve [...]


London – Westminster Bridge

London - Westminster Bridge

Another pano from the same evening as the previous post. This on the whole was easier to process, however masking the cars and vans in PTGui was a real chore, flipping between images to see which was overlapping the other was very hard work and took over an hour to get right.   Certainly best [...]


London – Thames View

London - Thames View

Here’s a pano from my recent river walk. This image, or set of images has been the most complicated for me to process to date and has taken a fair deal of time to get right, both fading light and people out for an evening stroll have cause issues. I’ve learnt a lot on the [...]


ECVB – Cockerill

ECVB - Cockerill

Here’s my final panorama from ECVB – this is taken from the area furthest from the controll room. More super pipes for you to scroll around. Hit the full screen icon (the right hand square) once the image has loaded  for the full screen experience.   Again this is processed in a similar fashion to [...]


ECVB – Organ Pipes

ECVB - Organ Pipes

This is the money shot at ECVB. Right in front of the control room facing the four massive silver pipes that extend to the ceiling. From here the true majesty of the site can be seen, it really is awesome.   This image is made from 162 images,18 shots made up of 9 stop brackets. [...]


ECVB – Turbine Hall

ECVB - Turbine Hall

Here’s the turbine hall at ECVB. Compared to the rest of the facility its pretty sparse. All of the interesting stuff is below. There are two turbines housed in here, one at the far end of the hall transversely angled to the one below. I’ll not say much about this and let the images do [...]


ECVB – The Cathedral

ECVB - The Cathedral

Since the first time I went to ECVB  on a solo trip quite some time ago I have wanted to do a series of panoramas of this awesome location. The main hall is so vast that to take simple images just does not do it justice. When one arrives in here initially there is a [...]


Sandy Balls – River Avon Panorama

Sandy Balls  - River Avon Panorama

Here’s a panorama from Sandy Balls (yes I know he he). My Mum and I have a little hideaway here so I thought that it might be nice to go down to the river and see if I could do another HDR panorama test. This one was interesting as PTGui found it hard to find [...]


Ibsley Ford – Panorama

This weekend Viveca and I went to my friends wedding, on the way we took a quick trip to The New Forest for lunch and another test of the Nodal Ninja. After some semi successful attempts and some not very successful attempts at ‘getting it right’ I think I am on the way to sorting [...]
