November 2014

Whilst on holiday in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park a few weeks ago, I sneakily took my aerial photography platform and Virtual Tour equipment with me so I could capture some photographs of the wonderful cottage where we were staying. You can see one of the resulting aerial photographs and a Virtual Tour I created.

I think it’s fair to say that almost everyone has heard of “drones” these days. Whether people think of the military versions used for dropping ordnance on enemy positions, or the seemingly harmless quadcopters that are becoming more and more affordable and can be flown by anyone without any prior training – drones are here to stay.

David Hogg from Horizon Imaging recently provided support for fellow photographer John-Paul Bland at a fund-raising event for the charity Giving Africa at St George’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club in Weybridge, Surrey. Giving Africa is dedicated to empowering children through education in Burkina Faso, one of the poorest countries in the world.

Horizon Imaging is excited to announce the launch of a completely new service alongside our Architectural, Mast and Drone Aerial Photography services – Interactive Virtual Tours.

Built on David’s experience in producing High Dynamic Range images for his Architectural Photography clients and capturing panoramic images using specialised panorama equipment in his spare time, Horizon Imaging’s interactive Virtual Tours allow the user to immerse themselves in a beautifully realistic virtual world. You can jump between different locations using ‘hotspots’ and engage with fully-interactive virtual content such as localised sound effects, audio narration, embedded images, videos and overview maps.
