Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny spring day. So I headed out onto the lake for some rowing exercise, and for some peace and quiet to listen to the birds. Then I went meet some friends on the public beach at the other end of the lake for barbecue and beer.

    That sounds like a great day. Glad you enjoyed! Cool vid, what did you use to capture it?

      Thanks!

      I used a Ricoh Theta X 360° camera. It’s not the best camera in the world to shoot video by a long shot - it’s more geared toward still photography - but I rarely shoot videos anyway, and it has one massive advantage over other 360 action cams: it stitches its own photos and videos and produce regular jpegs and mp4s, so I can edit them in Linux.

      The camera is mounted on one of the boat’s free oarlocks using a selfie stick adapter I turned on the lathe the other day.

        Thanks, i’ll check that one out. Been finding myself more and more interested in 360° capturing and your video only added fuel to the flames. Have a great day!

          If you enjoy 360° imagery, you may be interested in c/360cameras. It’s pretty much just little old me posting in there really, but I’m hoping other amateurs will liven it up a bit some day 🙂
