Revoflite Helicam – Thailand, Chiang Mai
This movie is filmed by the Polish Roveflite team. Most of the shots are taken at Royal Park Rajapruek in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The heli can be mounted almost with every camera, as long as it doesn’t exceed the 5 kilo amount which the helicam can carry. One of the cameras used in this movie is the Canon EOS 5D. The heli uses a gyroscope so the images are not affected by the vibrations of the flight. There are 2 pilots involved: one person who remote controls the helicopter and one person filming. The maximum speed of the helicopter is aprox. 100kph.
Update: Apparently they locked the video..

There is a new world record on the largest panorama picture. Rio de Janeiro is the new known record holder with a panorama of 150 gigapixels. 12238 images were captured with a total capture time of 4h 45min (nearly 1.4 seconds per shot).
Londen in 80 gigapixels
This photo is the largest 360° panorama in the world as of November 2010. It’s made from 7886 individual images and was shot from the top of the Centre Point building in central London, in the summer of 2010. The computer used to build this panorama is a Fujitsu Celcius workstation, one with 6 dual-core processors, 192GB ram and a graphics card with 4GB memory. At 360cities.net you can see more panorama pictures taken in other cities.
Aerial photography with the Swinglet CAM
An easy-to-use flying camera. It takes high-resolution pictures automatically based on user-defined GPS waypoints. Very useful for… well, I don’t know, someone.
iPhone 4 inside a Canon SLR body
Not really useful, but funny.
BBC Life – Plants, behind the scenes
In this video you can have a view behind the scenes of the making of a scene from ‘Plants’. For making this episode from the ‘Life’-series BBC uses high speed-camera’s and above all extreme time lapses. A lot of work is involved making those movie fragments and there is even a scene which takes the crew about two years in total to make.
Update: BBC heeft deze video verwijderd van YouTube.
26 gigapixel photo of Paris
Last year I posted a link to a website which shows a 26 gigapixels photo of the German city of Dresden. This time I want to share with you ‘Paris in 26 gigapixels‘.
Armed with his Canon 5D mark III camera, photographer Arnaud Frich merged 2346 photos together to create a panorama of 354159 bij 75570 pixels. Just amazing. According to the makers this is the biggest panorama in the world.
The panorama was made using two Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras in combination with 300mm f/4 lenses and 2x teleconverters. Below, the “Paris 26 Gigapixels teaser”.
