62 Years Later.....

66AEB images taken and stitched to recreate the original shot,  which I estimate was taken around 2000ft.

The site which is now the carpark is the site of the Battle of Beamfloat which was fought in 893AD between the Anglo-Saxon army of Wessex, and the Danish army of Hæsten.


Taken with the Mini 3 Pro.

well done. that was a good piece of work...
and it makes me always a bit sad to see how nature has to go away for new concrete

Thanks ElleKN.  And I agree it’s sad how much we are building these days.

Brilliant shot of the entire area DA.    I guess the car lot fills up daily as people commute by train to work.  The AEB images from the Mini 3 are absolutely impressive.

Nice work David. Quite a change since the 1960's - and even more so since medieval times I exspect.

A few more houses this time! And lots more cars.

Thanks DT.   I think next time I’ll try the 48mp camera.

That carpark during Covid was empty,   Usually it’s full,  this was taken late Saturday and there’s still a good few using it and it’s not cheap to park.

Thanks Mr B. There were a few stitching errors so I might for fun see if autopano does a better job.

I think I make it 17 cars in the original as you say a lot more now.

I did a pano with the Mini3Pro this morning and the results were terrible.
Not happy with the DJI stitching at all.
Ran it through the latest software that you proposed and the results are somewhat better.

Was it windy by any chance?

Breezy, not enough to worry the drone.
Exposed hilltop location.

This is very cool!

Fascinating image comparison, thanks for sharing. I like the contrast with the derelict boat at the bottom of the image.

Nicely done and the fighting continues for parking spots. See history does repeat itself

My pleasure. It reminds me of that Swedish site.
I think I showed that to you, where you can view various layers (in time) with aerial photos.

thats it odd,  Im restitching this image in Autopano giga to see how better it is.

Cheers Aero,

The boat is called Scone and used to be a restaurant in London,   it was built in 1919.

Yes,   I love those old images too.

Same here.
PS, it is super quiet around here.
I only had very few new posts to look at this morning

OK.  Even in the manually stitched version there are some glaring mismatches - it has to be to do with the drone not lining up sufficiently before taking the shots. Maybe due to the wind, but I never got that with the Mini One and Litchi.

Would that be it?

Yesterday we saw loads of people heading to the railway station with flowers,  and the roads were empty Saturday morning.

Ok, I have not seen much of a difference here in NL.
It was of course in the news, but that's about it.

odd,     I wonder if the logs might give you a clue what happened.

Not sure they would. So far as the drone is concerned, it completed the task without incident.
I did a dronie and a circle from the quickshots, and they were unaffected.

It went from 4 items the first day, to 2 and none now.

Even the American news channel I stream has 24/7 coverage at the moment.  Only stopping briefly to talk about Mr T.

I could be missing out on some items, but this is from the main news site here that i follow.
