The weather held out today – sunny skies and a little wind instead of the forecast which was cloudy. So, with iPhone in hand I headed of to borough market for a coffee and then Greenwich for a little exercise up and down the park. On the way back I captured the following 360° image [...]

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). The [...]
How to brew coffee with a Vacuum Coffee Maker
Here’s a simple video I shot using my Canon 7D + 50mm lens, an iPhone and my home built slider. The process is very simple and quite therapeutic : Fill lower bowl with pre-heated water Insert upper vessel containing measured amount of coffee Apply heat source to lower vessel – the water will rise and [...]
Yet another way of capturing 360 degree images and video
There are three methods for capturing 360 degree images – using an application from the app store that allows the user to stitch together a scene (Photosynth, 360 and Panoramic) or using either the GoPano Micro or the Dot 360. However, there’s yet another entrant to the market place which was announced on the Christmas [...]

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 [...]
Best video app for the iPhone 4s
Camera+ is by far the best app for the iPhone for taking pictures, editing and adding effects. The features which make Camera+ stand out the most are the independent focus and exposure locks, which is sadly missing in the native camera and video app. Browsing the extensive video app section in the App Store reveals [...]
How to transfer video from the Canon 7D to the iPad
Transferring data from the Canon 7D to the iPad seems to be a troublesome activity for most of the people I speak to – or when they approach me in coffee bars once they’ve noticed me with my iPad plugged into the Canon reviewing recently shot footage. Transferring movies from the iPad not only gives [...]
Using the volume button take a photo on the iPhone
Given that I’m a fan of the Camera+ application, I was more than happy to find out that they’ve re-introduced the “Volume Plus” option to activate the shutter in the same way that apple introduced it with iOS 5 for the native camera app. However, there’s another way to activate the shutter using the soon [...]

Just as the Tate Modern has installed a piece of work by Tacita Dean that s the first work in The Unilever Series devoted to the moving image, and celebrates the masterful techniques of analogue film-making as opposed to digital, the people behind the wonderful Lomo cameras have launched the Lomokino.
