Random stuff from WordCamp Whistler 2009

ByJohn

Finally back home from Whistler after a great weekend up there for WordCamp Whistler where I met a ton of new people and was able to spend time with many friends. It was nice to get out of Vancouver for a change of scenery and yet have so many familiar faces around. I thought I’d post some photos and video I took during the course of the conference and weekend.

WordCamp Whistler

I wanted some video to use as part of my talk so I shot this quick fisheye video of the conference room and all the attendees before things got started. This is easily my favorite lens to play with:

Dave Olson ended the day with his talk and had the entire audience hanging on his every word. He invited people to sit up front and close since he wasn’t using the projector…and lots did. It was a great session to end the conference with:
Storytime with Uncle Weed

I also wanted to play around with my Lensbaby Composer (especially in video mode on the D90) so here’s a quick video I shot during lunch where Lorraine was interviewing Dave for the live stream she was doing on FearlessCity.ca:

Watch it in HD on Vimeo too.

Some more fisheye fun at lunch:

Hands on with a Gigapan EPIC 100

ByJohn

I recently had a chance to check out some really cool technology used to create enormous, zoomable panoramic images called a Gigapans. This is the same technology used to make that huge image of US President Obama’s inauguration that you may have seen. I’ve been using a Gigapan EPIC 100 courtesy of Active Computer Services….

Why the SXSW panel picker is important

ByJohn

There is only a handful of days left to vote for the panels that *could* end up being presented at SXSWi next March. I’ve already outlined the panel I put together in a previous post but wanted to explain a little bit about why it’s important for your votes…even if you’re not planning on attending…

Summer of Photography fun

Been super busy with a lot of photography projects this summer and it’s been an absolute blast so far. First up (and most recently) was Worldwide Photowalk day, last Saturday, July 18th.

  3. Thanks! It was a lot of fun, even if we didn’t get out for a stroll in the daytime. I hadn’t been to Whistler in years, but must go back for a day trip; the bus is really cheap!

    The quality of your video vs ours shows just how far mobile phones still have to go!
