A BRIEF HISTORY OF 360 0R SPHERE PHOTOGRAGHY
- I originally explored virtual image capture with Ipix software where 2 Nikon fisheye hemispheres were stitched together with complex software. This also required specialised software to view unlike today's browsers which are all now 360 compatible.
- Then I advanced to 360 image capture with DJI Osmo or Insta360 X4 or iPhone 16+ Insta360 Flow gimbal and auto stitch software from 3rd party servers. I would capture high resolution images with software adapted to the Osmo camera and send online to Europe for auto stitching is a major leap forward in what has been a complex task. As well as website tours these images could go straight into Google Street View*
- Now imagery capture has progressed to cameras like the Insta360 digital camera,which allow a myriad of image formats from 2 sensor and lens set back to back. also a suitable gybal can employ an iPhone to capture 18 images and automatically stitch them together using an application on the iPhone.

Focus on digital camera systems
Panasonic micro camera systems for stills, & video quality with well implemented touchscreen control systems give it the edge over many more expensive cameras.. It's a balance of capability, size and price that makes it so strong. The Panasonic GH5 is a lightweight but complex camera that is superb for video and not bad for stills either".
Focus on B&W in the Barrenjoey peninsula area
Some B&W images from the Barrenjoey and Sydney's Northern Beaches area. Many of these images were shot on the Kodak Tri X film stock. I loved the patina of this film stock and its excellent dynamic range. I often used a red filter to increase contrast and reveal the drama of the clouds. Any of these images can be purchased as custom wall blow ups in the Stock/Print tab.

Focus on Panoramas
Series of images taken on the Canon, Panasonic, iPhone and other models which are then stitched together.
Although many modern cameras have auto panorama function I find its better to take multiple hi res images across a landscape and combine them in photoshop or other third party applications like DoubleTake. The latest Adobe Lightroom has a superb stitching function with auto lens warp correction ability.

Webber Surfboards
A long time passion is the surfing industry and creative individuals like Greg Webber. I shoot the images and then design the ads in applications like Adobe InDesign .I find that surfboards always look the best in or on the water. In this image I shot the board on a rock pool at high tide then deepetched the surfboard and reduced the background to a percentage of desaturation to make the craft stand out. See a folio of images for this client here.. |

Focus on Corporations
|
Shooting stock for corporations is a genuine treat. Most corporations embrace you as family and you enjoy the hospitality of the world resources they have access to. I spent two years travelling globally tacit a library for Caltex who have since been absorbed by Chevron. We shot mostly in Asia and Africa and the Middle East for the Singapore base. This was the first time I covered everything in digital, which was unheard of at that stage, but it soon became apparent that the lighting issue that plagued film stock were done away with.

Focus on Editorial
|
In December 1998 a small band of creatives launched a high quality magazine NB Northern Beaches Journal. In the words of editor Peter Hock.."If the northern beaches is really a cultural desert, why do so many cultured, intelligent and sociable people choose to live between Manly and Palm Beach. From the point of view of the Northern Beaches Journal there are a million good reasons to do so. Which is why we resolved to represent the very best of them on these pages. thereby producing a collectable record of our particular time and place you can treasure for years to come"

Focus on Chasing LightLight is the key to our existance. It pervades the universe and is borne in stars, the same as us. So we are light. Light illuminates and reflects the physical form of of reality. So if you observe light you can see creation. The passion to capture this vision of a moment in time is a reflection of the observation of the relation of ourselves passing thru creation. Its not difficult to become a hunter of images of creation because it is astonishing. The more you see the more passion you feel for life and the 'art' of existence.

The power we float through is easily misunderstood or taken for granted. If you look for it it looks for you.
