Switzerland

The Alps Imax

A nice documentary looking at climbing the Eiger. There are some interesting sequences and shots which could be used in a number of documentaries. Remember that this is meant to be seen on a huge screen, not your laptop.

As if they were flying

As if they were flying - you see a few sequences with the Jet D’eau in the background. They appear weightless. Micha Hurni - Helvetic Tricking 400fps from Swisstricks on Vimeo.

Chateau D'Oex Balloon festival

This morning for the first time I went to Chateau D’Oex for the balloon show. It’s fun to watch so many balloons prepared to fly and flying away. [flickr-gallery mode=“photoset” photoset=“72157632610719823”] Version 1 And Version 2

Autostitch for the Iphone

Port of Nyon in Winter The picture above was done with an iphone and the autostitch application. To produce this type of photograph the process is simple. You take a series of pictures with the Iphone camera before going to the autostitch application. You select the photographs that you want stitched together and click the stitch button. The application will then find objects within the photograph before combining them into one panoramic shot.

It’s about the birds soiling the mountains and having crews of people specifically to resolve this problem. Of course it’s an April fool’s joke.

Ten Days without Twitter

warzabidul - Feb 4, 2009 What makes the first meetups so great is that you spend weeks and months talking to people, you develop a relationship with those people so that when you finally meet them you’re really happy. That feeling is made even nicer when you realise you have similar interests to people you had not met yet. Now the tweetups and other meetings often feel like a formality, nothing fun, nothing innovative.

Ten Days without Twitter

There is a video of me at the only Twestival event I have ever been to and I lay into the event for the fashionistas that attended the event. I was so disappointed with the event as a whole that I have lost my passion for going to social media events, especially when I need to travel over a thousand kilometers. Environmental conscience is one good reason for not travelling to these events but the second is the quality of the people there.
