This Saturday we did a super fun 360 review showcase in Barcelona’s brew pubs. We attended 3 / 5 of the planned route. We mainly shot photos, but we did a few videos as well. Finally we chose an extra venue (not a brew pub) but which had a 5 year anniversary.
What we loved
The tech is very new, and from the public and attendees alike, a vast majority asked what we were doing, how does it work, what is that thing etc. Attendees asked the same thing. There is a lot of mystery behind it, but it is a lot more simpler. @Laofdez loved using video and a high selfie stick, while I preferred more lower level shots and a small tripod
This is pretty cool - I think 360’s haven’t reached saturation (like drones) on the market or attracted too much negative media interest.
Using a 360 was a source of amusement, wonder and intrigue in the group. @Phunky and @Laofdez had a 360 camera face-off (joke) (below)
What we promised:
Explore 4+ brew pubs, take photos, 360 photos and videos, showcase the Theta V to local guides. Explore & discover new things, meet new friends.
What was delivered:
We went to the most interesting bars taking a variety of food and beer. The idea was to do food pairing, which didn’t really happen. I think most of us were hungry and any food was good with beer ?
I have to say it was my first time at an event like this and I had a great time, so I would definitely attend more meet-ups. I may even organise one myself. So thanks @Phunky for the organisation and the inspiration!
The selection of pubs was perfect, not only because of the wide range of quality beers and tasty tapas, but for the cool atmosphere. Besides, it was great to be able to share doubts and experience with the 360 the camera and the streetview app. There are still so many things to explore and solve. As @Phunky suggested in his post, we are still at a very early stage with 360º photography, so people feel curious when you use it, and I just feel I want to know more and improve my pictures. I wonder where I can get more information.
@FaridTDF , hay algún protocolo o guía sobre las fotos 360º que subimos a StreetView?
Many thanks for adding some really funny and great photos of the event! I’ve had some more ideas and I’m making a list of places. I also PM’d you somewhere else
@AlexaAC The small orange local guide flags we swagged from CL 2018 are really useful to identify a group of local guides at meet-ups. I wish there was a way to mark in the event who turned up, as we had sign ups and no-shows. Equally we had no-sign ups who turned up :-D.
Can’t wait to meet up @Laofdez again. We spoke another event, with @Laofdez going to organise it.
@LeliA The idea was to visit pubs which have beer products seen as stereotypically Irish, i.e: having ales, stouts, porters but made locally in Barcelona / Catalonia. Beer sold by Michael Collins, George Payen, Ryans are industrially produced (international) beers. Plus the beer types they offer are very limited. Many BrewPubs also use a lot of ‘local’ produce. The first bar we went to had a lot more local produced tapas.
More than 50% of the Barcelona BrewPubs we visited on Saturday are zero KM - so ‘cool’ in accord to Local Guides 'doing good’. Sadly one was closed and another we didn’t have time to visit. The last was improvised and wasn’t in the official meet up. Otherwise it’d have been 80% of zero KM produce. They are produced locally by small firms. I know that Edge Brewery now has a bar. It’s next to the On-line University of Catalonia, you can see both how it is made next to their bar.
I plan to visit a few more next time. I’ll tag you so you know about the event
Hola @Laofdez , es un gran encuentro el que tuviero, y lo más importante la pasaron muy bien, me encanta eso, creo que es lo más importante de cuando te juntas. Con respecto a tu consulta, son los mismos criterios en líneas generales que los que tienes para con las Fotos que no son 360.
Como base te puedo decir que dentro de lo posible evitar que tenga muchas personas, a menos que sea una Foto de personas en el lugar y todos deseen participar.
para el caso de que tú foto contenga personas que no son parte de la foto, las puedes difuminar, con la herramienta que te da Streer View.
@Phunky , it looks that you all had a lot of fun! Keep doing it! Thanks for the recap and looking forward to your next meet-up.
Just please bear in mind that I’m going to remove the Spanish language tag from your post as it is in English. Only posts written in a specific language should have the corresponding label. You can find more information in this article How do I find posts in my preferred language?.
Hola @Laofdez , si existen esas secciones en Connect, aplica como fotógrafo de confianza y luego tendrás acceso a ellas, donde podrás charlar con otros.
