I just thought I'd share our latest aerial panorama over the Birrung mar / yarra area. Melbourne's such a beautiful city! :D

Nice image and great it is so interactive. When I was moving through your image I suddenly got taken to viewat.org website with yours and other images, thought that might be of interest.

Thanks for the headsup Glen. Do you think you may have clicked the ViewAt icon in the top left corner whilst navigating? That will take you to the ViewAt website.

Also, you can click on the square icon at the bottom right corner to go full screen for a much better view :up: .

How much better would this be if it was Sydney, world's most beautiful city... :D

Seriously, wonderful image, and it features the "G", home of the mighty 'pies.

Ozi, I assume you are refering to the pies that come steaming hot in FournTwenty wrappers. I can't for the life of me think of anything mighty about Collingwood ;).

I thought you all might be interested in the latest panorma (click first image to load).

It's my grandparents farm where I spent much of my childhood. Sadly my grandparents are no longer with us and the old farmhouse has been vacant for some time but I can still make out all my old hidding places and the wood pile where I attempted to earn my keep. Happy times :) .

Mate, these are tops!

Have you thought of approaching large sporting events and offering your services. I'd imagine that the F1GP, Adelaide, Foot finals etc would love panoramas!

That would certainly make great subject matter :).

I'm not much of a salesman so I haven't really been putting this out there as much as I should.

You need to get this out there, I havent seen images of any major sporting events that are near this. It's a niche market, your niche! Imagine an aerial 360 degree panorama of the crowd on grand-final day at the MCG! Or over pit lane at the Bathurst 1000! The prints would be awesome, sell like hot cakes.

Yep, that certainly would be awesome 8) .

I've spent soooo much time and $ on this project and up until now it has been a labour of love. I think the time has come to start getting some of my money back.

It's so hard to be a marketer and photographer though. I take my hat off to those who excel at both.
