A Brochure of Mine Featured on a Blog

It's just a guys blog (no offense it looks like a great blog!)  not any sort of official recognition but it still felt good.
What was really strange is the way I came across it.
I was doing a Twitter search for graphic design and clicked on the first or second tweet I saw

TimothyWhalin: Showcase Of Beautiful Brochure #Design http://t.co/1uQTum9E

with a link for Beautiful Brochure Design looking to be inspired and I was inspired and encouraged!  :)
My brochure is the fourth down.

I am now of course following @TimothyWhalin and his blog!

Click brochure image above to see a full screen capable 360° panorama!
The WACO biplane 360 linked to the brochure image above was the shoot I was on in the 2 previous blog entries below.

Waco Aircraft Factory Photos

I am posting some of the normal photos I took when we were at
WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation doing a 360 degree photography panoramic shoot of cockpits for them. You just don't see quality craftsmanship like this anymore! Just amazing work! You have to see these wooden wing frames that are made the way they use to be for the biplanes in the 30's by real craftsmen!

WACO Aircraft internal wooden wing frame
Amazing craftsmanship! You have to see it in person to realize how well it is made and to what extent the attention to detail is!


WACO Aircraft wooden wing structure
A view of a whole wing structure. Craftsmanship and attention to detail like you wouldn't believe!

WACO biplane being built
Lacking the color treatment of the other photos posted in the posting but you get to see the pretty vibrant red!

Our WACO 360 Panoramic Work Shown on General Aviation News

General Aviation News has a post about WACO's new YMF-5D 360° cockpit virtual tours! This has been a great project to do. Very interesting subject matter. The WACO biplanes are true works of art. It's not often these days that you see that kind of craftsmanship. See our other High Quality Full Screen 360 degree Panoramic Photography work here: Dynamite Inc 360 Other links:

Cool Video On A Professional Video Shoot! – Inspiration




I often find videos or examples of work other people are doing inspiring. I especially like video’s of others working, most likely because I’m visual and learn best from watching something being done. This is a video from Chase Jarvis and he is using the RED One digital cinema camera and the Nikon D3s HD DSLR on location shooting skateboarding and glass blowing. He shows some tricks of the trade and how he got his angles.
