Quadcopter timelapse

My brother-in-law took this set of photographs from a remote controlled quadcopter when he visited our house at Christmas. The quadcopter ascended to 150 feet or so over the fields near Market Street and took a set of still images which I spliced together to produce a “timelapse” effect.

As the quadcopter takes off the camera is facing West towards Lumb Wood on Holcombe Hill. The copter then rotates  to the left until it is facing East, at this point many of the houses on Market Street and Heycrofts View become visible. After this the camera is pointed towards Edenfield Recreation Ground, “the rec”. The copter rotates again after this and shows a view towards Scout Moor. After this the copter returns to its take off point in the garden.
This still image shows a view of Market Street and Heycrofts View.

Vivit interview at HP Discover, Frankfurt

On Thursday 6th December at HP Discover in Frankfurt, Jason Kennedy, Martijn Stuiver and I were asked to discuss how Vivit is changing from a primarily US-centric, practitioner-focused user community to one which helps support our members as the IT world changes around them.

The interview covers the changing demographics of the Vivit user community, how we plan to alter our content to suit our membership, our development of new social media channels, the growth of our membership as well as the development of new special interest groups such as “Cloud Builders” and “Security” alongside our existing special interest groups.
