After the school run today, it was a quick trip up to Hunstanton to take 164 pictures of the famous stripy cliffs: the southern end of the cliffs near the promenade - thanks to my Nikon D40X that took about 5 minutes as I wandered from the carrstone boulders in the tidal zone, to the base of the cliff and zoomed in on some of the individual rocks in the red and white rockfall zones. The light wasn't ideal, but that wasn't really the point in this case. I then batch-resized the images ready to create a PHOTOSYNTH.
Taking my cue from Ollie Bray's BLOG POST, I installed Microsoft Silverlight, and then PHOTOSYNTH itself (having to keep reminding myself to use Internet Explorer rather than my usual Chrome)
PHOTOSYNTH installs 2 programmes: a web-browser plugin for viewing the 'synths' and an application for creating them.
If you've read this far and are thinking "what's a Photosynth anyway ?", here is a DESCRIPTION.
A detailed GEOLOGICAL GUIDE of the cliffs can be viewed here (PDF download)
You will need to use INTERNET EXPLORER to VIEW THE PHOTOSYNTH...
Also embedded below: needs SILVERLIGHT TO VIEW, and to be viewed in IE or Firefox
Let's try to collect together a GEOGRAPHICAL library of Photosynths...
If you've made one, please let me know....
