Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi all, it's been a while since I've posted anything here so I thought I'd share one of my new projects with you all. It's almost 3 years since the project started but I feel it is now at a point where I can show the results in public without the fear of hanging my head in shame  . It's basically a radio controlled helicopter which carries a custom built panoramic mount automated to pan a full 360 degrees and tilt from 30 to -90 degrees allowing me to take full 360 spherical panoramas at altitude. It's kind of like having the worlds tallest adjustable panoramic tripod! Anyway, here's the trial run.... sorry, not the most inspiring scenery (that's yet to come). Click play on the image and once loaded you can click and drag across the screen or turn it full size with the icons in the bottom right corner. Enjoy  . http://www.lensaloft.com.auI think this really has potential but I'm not sure how to market the service. Marketing's never been my strong point.

Awesome!
You must be a good RC Heli pilot. Most of the ones I've seen land up crashing...

Very impressive considering how you take the pictures. I looked into this market (I am not good at marketing either...) and looked into these swiss cameras that are automatically indexed and so on but I gave up, my day job took over  . I was looking at advertising for tourism destinations. Cheers, Gerard

this is SUPER cool! (wheres the shadow of the heli?  ) I think this would be awesome to use at a wedding - doesnt have to be 360 - but be a great angle on things. Its better than Larson's Camera Toss trick seen here.! (and probably safer to a degree - except for the rotor blades catching a wedding guest... hmmm!) Love to see more... really cool. Jonathan

Thanks for the kind words peoples . I've only just moved to Canberra and I'm still scouting for the ideal Panoramic location. I'll get a few more this week and post them as soon as I process them. Jonathan, thanks for posting Larson's Camera toss. That one made my night... had me in stitches! Gerard, the Swiss indexed camera sound very interesting. Do you have a brand or Company name I can look up for those?

LOL, I'm glad you liked it adam. It made me feel like I was flying up there....!!
That's just the effect I was after . The next one will be from a slightly higher altitude.

That's real cool, you must have been feeling pretty good once you got the final product together.
I like the hidden advert.

Thanks again everyone. I was just out shooting again this morning and there just happened to be a TV crew there. One of the guys came running over and had a chat and it now seems I'll have some video work coming my way. Fingers crossed . The "hidden advert" is a watermark. Due to problems with people stealing my work and claiming it as their own I've been forced to include this in all my pano images. It's an unfortunate necessity .

Thanks again for the kind words. It's always nice to get positive feedback, especially when so much work has gone into it. BTW, who's Arthur? Fortunately my parents were kind enough to call me Andrew as there was an Arthur back in Primary school and for some reason the poor guy really got a grilling over his name.

That is really great...!
Look out when the council gets 'em for by law inspections.... unregistered dogs, swimming pools etc...
Good luck with the venture!
All I know, is that I don't know enough.....

Thanks for the link Gerard. Hmm a D3 would be a nice addition, although at 1.25Kg it's getting a little heavy. The website says it'll do a 360 in 2 seconds.... but theirs doesn't fly . I have just posted another panoramic for those interested. It was 1 degree celcius at the time and I'm starting to think an investment in gloves and a beani might be a good idea! http://www.lensaloft.com.auAndrew
