I just went on a Wim Hof trip to the supermarket and now I'm writing this hiding from the police behind the recycling bins.

It may have been a mistake to go Full Hof.
Are there no nudist beaches in Tromsø?
What a hassle, Hof.
Thanks man! You and Musk changed my mood! LOL

First of all, I loved mikael.oh's video. I've watched his video several times and shared it with others. I have to admit, I feel a little bit like David Bowie trying to follow the Queen performance at the Live Aid concert in 1985. None the less, here is my latest video.

This was shot with my 360 camera, but the camera is stationary. It is best viewed in the highest resolution with a VR headset. It can be viewed on a computer, TV, or phone. If your device supports 3D video, you can change the viewport and look all around the scene. The process to do this varies by app and device, but I'm sure you can figure it out. Enjoy the trees, clouds, rabbit tracks, beautiful snow. Ignore the old fart in the blue suit. About halfway through the video, there is a time shift, so check out the clouds and the tree shadows. There might be some skiing towards the end of the video, you just have to find it. :shock: ⛷️ This is a Zen moment and location for me.

So cool! 360 vids are awesome when you have a summit, or otherwise beautiful location like you do.

I plan on doing stationary 360 vids as well, but we need some snow first. All places close to where I live have almost zero, so going anywhere is pointless. Will concentrate on classic on groomed trails now and hope for a better snow situation later in the winter.

I initially imagined we would be discussing camera angles and the potential of 360 cameras and such in this thread, but instead it turned into a bunch of nonsense fuelled by people choosing to try to make fun of what they don't understand. So I got a bit disillusioned and it took a while before I got the motivation to post here again.
You keeo posting good stuff Tom and I'll get back to filming some more stuff soon as well.
Thank you for your kind words!

January 28, -10 Degrees F (-23 C) bluebird day in NW Wyoming . Feel free to look around. The camera is stationary, but you can change the view if your device supports 360 video. Ignore the cautious old fart in the blue suit. He has been following me around lately and it is starting to get annoying.

Set your viewer to the highest resolution, 5K if you have the bandwidth.
Be sure to look around. Enjoy the softly falling snow, the nearly colorless landscape of a cloudy day, and a wonderful mid April day in the Salt River Range of Wyoming

Another 360 video. This one is of Breccia Peak in the Teton Wilderness of Northwest Wyoming on June 1, 2022. I set the 360 camera up while I stripped off my skins in preparation for the descent. Be sure the set the video streaming quality to the highest resolution. Take a look around in all directions and ignore the old fart who photo bombs this beautiful location. Enjoy.

Snow and scenery look great, Tom. Can’t wait for when you break out this camera angle:

You can never have enough skis and boots.
