AirPano and Insta360

Our cooperation with Insta360 company continues. During our October trip to China we've received the Insta Pro 2InstaOne X, the FarSight transmitter kit and the StateFlow stabilization system.

The updated Insta Pro 2 model will help us shoot 360° stereo videos in 8K resolution, and 360° mono videos in 8K with 60 fps. Insta One X is the most compact option for shooting 360° videos in 5,7K resolution and that gives us the possibility to work in the most difficult and extreme conditions, where it is better not to risk losing or damaging professional equipment.

By using the FarSight set we will be able to see on-line what the camera is capturing, even when it is on the drone up in the sky. The StateFlow stabilization system will help us get smooth pictures even when the drone makes fast maneuvers, or when there is strong wind.

For the first time in the past 15 years, the Taj Mahal has been shot from the air by the AirPano crew!

The Taj Mahal holds one of the most important places in the list of "The New 7 Wonders of the World". 

Despite its Muslim origin, this white marble Necropolis has actually become a symbol of India. Serious safety measures are taken in order to preserve it. The 500 meters area around the complex is equipped to serve as a special protection zone.

Cars have to park 2 kilometers away from the entrance so the tourists can get there with rickshaws, carts or electric vehicles, as it is believed that the exhaust gases can make the marble cladding go yellow. Even on the other side of the river Yamuna, on the banks of which it is located, the area is protected with a barbed wire fence.

Security guards' numbers are in their hundreds.

In 1997, the famous Frenchman Bertrand took a picture of the Taj Mahal from a helicopter. For 15 years after that there was no permission granted to shoot the monument from above. But AirPano has managed to achieve the impossible: we have received this permission, and at this moment our photographers Dmitry Moiseenko and Stanislav Sedov are on their way back to Moscow with the footage. A virtual tour of the photo-shoot will appear on the website in May.

Now US readers can also enjoy the unique shot of Kremlin, Red Square and the flying group Golden Eagles made during the parade rehearsal in the honor of 65 years of the Great Victory.  Like it usually happens, we appeared in the magazine accidently enough.

In May one of the Plane&Pilot's  publishers was in Russia and, walking along Tverskoy Boulevard, saw this photo which was being exposed in the frameworks of the World Seen by the Russians exhibition and Sergey Semenov was its participant.

Volcanoes Don’t Give Up Easily...

In spite of the active stage of the volcano's eruption has already finished and there is only a stream of 100 meters height left from 20 km steam and ashes jet, we, however, decided to fly till the volcano as we were able to reach Iceland.  Below you can find D. Moiseenko's story about the flight.

The flight to Grimsvotn volcano

When on the 24-th of May I was informed that I urgently had to leave for Iceland and shoot the Grímsvötn volcano which had begun its eruption a couple of days before, it seemed to me that such lucky chance happened  once in the lifetime...

Icelandic Volcano Grimsvotn Became Faster Than AirPano's Team

On Sunday, May 22, in Iceland the eruption of the Grímsvötn began. The height of a smoke and ashes cloud was up to 20 km. On Tuesday when we decided to send Dmitry Moiseenko for the shooting the height of the ashes cloud became 5 km. On Wednesday, in the morning, Dima left Moscow but the cloud went down to 2 km. And when DIma landed in Reykjavik the low-down volcano became extinct :)

Frankly speaking, last year another volcano named Eyjafjatlajökudl (the name rose from my memory) had almost finished its eruption too when we were close to its crater. So, we could only enjoy the steam clouds. On Hawaii red-hot lava stopped flowing onto the sea when our helicopter flew there. We left and next day the lava flow recommenced.

Such kind of bad luck we have with volcanoes.  :)

Last October we shot in St. Petersburg

Last October we shot in St. Petersburg. Along with art photography one of the tasks was the training in creation in the air of ultra high resolution panoramas. Finally, our developments were successfully practically tested and in the air of St. Petersburg the panoramas of 18.000x9.000 resolution were shot. That, as we know, hasn't been realized by anybody in the world yet.

In order the panorama's demonstration is good a very powerful computer is needed to view images made in such high resolution and, unfortunately, everybody hasn't got such kind of computer.  Another alternative way is to show panoramas part by part when the computer downloads exactly the part which is being viewed by a spectator. This way is widely used in the Internet to demonstrate Giga-pixel panoramas shot from the Earth.

At present time we are finishing processing the ultra high resolution panoramas shot over St. Petersburg and in the nearest time they will be exposed on the site.

The spherical panoramas creating

The spherical panoramas creating in the sky supposes that a flying machine hovers in the air (as a rule, it is a helicopter or a radio-controlled model) and revolves on its axis. However, there were no helicopters on Maldives and for the first time in our practice we had to shoot a spherical panorama from a seaplane... Oh, that wasn't the easiest thing to make a pilot stop the seaplane in the air and rotate it J But we succeeded in doing it. The results of the shooting you can see here.

We have tried to shoot Moscow for a long time

We have tried to shoot Moscow for a long time, but we never succeeded in shooting the city we live in, thought we did our best. The case is the flights over Moscow are forbidden except those of Russian Federation Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Response and Russian police. Taking in consideration these administrative restrictions we applied our creativity and resolved this problem by the following:

1) First, we made a virtual tour over the interchanges of Moscow Encircling Highway (MEH).
2) The sphere was shot from the height of 1000m. The most part of Moscow and its region can be viewed from that point.
3) In May 2010 near Crocus-City Moscow panorama of high resolution (approx 1 Gig pixel) was shot from the height of 1000m.
4) In Moscow itself we realized several photo-sessions with a radio-controlled helicopter.

We realized test technical shooting from a helicopter in St. Petersburg we were preparing for almost a year. We flew by a huge helicopter Mi-8. We tried to realize this shooting just in August when had come in St. Petersburg, but we were not lucky in weather: it was raining and we just measured the helicopter with a tape measure J Then the shooting was successful and now we are planning to make a virtual tour over the city on the Neva River if we are lucky. We are grateful to the Aeroecology Company for the flight organization.

In 2008 I decided to visit New Zealand

In 2008 I decided to visit New Zealand for a couple of weeks to be sure that The Lord of the Rings was really shot there :) The way to New Zealand was very long and took more than 24 hours, and I had to change a plane twice: in Dubai and in Sidney.

On my way back I decided to stay for a night in Sidney, because it is one of the most beautiful cities of the planet, and this visit didn’t require getting Australian visa. In the morning before leaving for the airport I found the contacts of a helicopter operator in a phone directory and shot several panoramas in the harbour near the world-known Opera House. It was two years ago but only now we have got time to work with the materials of those photo-session.

That time we still couldn't shoot the high resolution spheres that is why Sidney shooting is represented in its usual quality.

Had a look to calendar...

Had a look to calendar, we understood that the World Cup Football Championship will begin in several days. We thought that it would be great to represent on the site something pro-football as a sign of such an interesting event. In the archive the SPHERE which had been shot in Cape Town in the beginning of 2010 was found. It was shot right over the Green Point Football Stadium which was being built that time and it is devoted to the World Cup Football Championship.

There are still bulldozers on the project site in the sphere, but now the stadium is completely ready and on June, 11 at 20:30 it will be the match between the football teams of Uruguay and France on it.

Five second

Five second.
Is it much or not for a photographer? This May we have been able to find an answer to this question.  We could fly over Red Square on the board of one of the helicopters which took part in the Victory Parade rehearsal.  It takes a helicopter 5 seconds to get St. Basil's Cathedral from the State Historical Museum at a speed of 250 km/h.  It's necessary to have time to lean out of the window and overcoming the strong air flow to combine the shots which include closed flying helicopters and main points of Red Square.
This shot was made by Sergey Semenov during the first Victory Parade rehearsal.  A little bit later we'll tell you about the second shooting which was several days later.
