An easy way of create polar worlds of your local area (or any where google streetmap has been!)
I have previously written about how to transform a panoramic image into a polar or stereographic image using photoshop or gimp, but the other day I stumbled upon a nice little github project that utilises the panoramic images generated from google streetmap and the webgl transformation capabilities of the newer browsers (I used firefox).

At this time of year, the moon is normally visible to the east in the late afternoon sky (n.b. I’m in the northern hemisphere). At the time of writing this post the moon should rise at 13:05 -according to the Pocket Universe app for the iPhone, which leaves plenty of time to capture an image. [...]

mobislyder – a glide track slider for the iPhone
mobislyderis the world’s first portable camera slider designed specifically for a broad range of small video-enabled devices such as iPhones, smart phones, compact cameras and small D-SLR cameras. I’ve built a custom slider using the same components from Igus for my Canon 7D but the mobislyder looks a little more portable (given it’s only 35cm [...]
