Fantastic! Have just listened through. Melodic to be sure; something with the ebb and flow of water and tides to it...

Good question!

The technology (e.g. http://agisoft.com or http://structure.io) is now at a point where the strength of the photogrammetric models and mosaics are actually enhanced by taking multiple frames from multiple different vantage points. Overlap of the same feature from different angles is what allows the programs that assemble the images in situ to identify unique points common to multiple frames, and this in turn, strengthens the result and accuracy of the model/mosaic.

And on a practical level, not using a tripod allows me to move that much more quickly!

I noticed that you aren't using a tripod, why is that?

Thanks Rob. Yeah, it was an experience for sure -- the one you mentioned is one my favourites, too... In unison, again and again. Was almost like a dance...

Wow. Some great stuff here. Brings back lots of memories. Tall shot of kids throwing rocks into sea possibly my favourite.

Thanks Dave, glad you enjoy and that these remind you to get out and look around down there. There's something everywhere!

Visited your site few times, but had not previously looked at this set of photos. I have yet to do any street photography, but your work is inspiring. It definitely captures the mood of Whyte avenue. This post reminds me to just go out, look around, and have fun. There's much to see and experience just down the street. Thank you for the inspiration.

Fantastic. A wonderful document of the campaign, Owen.

You're welcome, Don! It was an epic campaign, and a great way to get involved and reacquainted with Edmonton, meeting people and seeing parts of the city I never had before.

These are EPIC, Owen. Well done! Thanks for capturing so many of these moments. This was the most exhilarating and demanding period in my life, and these images will help my family and I remember it very fondly. Thank you!

Re: Whyte At Night

Tom Young — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 23:59:38 -0000

I like that one too. It also has you in it :)

Interesting that we had very little overlap in subjects!

Thanks Mike! It was really nice meeting you, too. Are you interested in a space on Owen's Ark? Perhaps your inaugural post could be that radius project you were thinking of...

And, you nailed the post - I didn't have to fix anything!

ommphoto — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 20:15:44 -0000

An excellent counterpost Tom - good stuff! I really like the lead image, as well as the one with the woman looking directly into the camera - it's a really poignant moment. Now we've just got to figure out how to get Edmonton to look at this work...

Re: Whyte Life

Mike Bridge — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:08:57 -0000

These are great! I especially like the welder, the guy in DQ and the VLTs.

Great to meet you yesterday too!

Re: Whyte Life

Tom Young — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 05:07:07 -0000
