Here's a sample of what footage from the Unsteadycam setup looks like. Who needs dedicated GoPro's or Countours, anyway. Still needs some refinement, though, and the sensor of the trusty GF1 isn't perhaps at it's best when capturing fast movement.Rollofunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064777860147253141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080315.post-566028281247579672012-06-29T22:22:00.001+03:002012-06-29T22:22:40.300+03:00Laing Family Bottlings<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/7468233048/" title="Laing Family Bottlings"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8002/7468233048_e7851b999d.jpg" alt="Laing Family Bottlings by Rollofunk" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/7468233048/">Laing Family Bottlings</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/">Rollofunk</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>Left to right:<br /><br />-Glen Spey 1991, 20yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Linkwood 1987, 24yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Mortlach 1989, 22yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Longmorn 1992, 19yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Bowmore 1987, 21yo, Douglas Laing<br />-Port Ellen 1982, 24yo, Douglas Laing<br /><br />First four by son Andrew Laing's private label Edition Spirits, the last two by father Andrew Laing's own private label.</p>Rollofunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064777860147253141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080315.post-81424486845676030402012-06-29T22:20:00.001+03:002012-06-29T22:20:28.538+03:00Andrew Laing Tasting @Punavuoren Ahvne 26.6.2012<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/7468233248/" title="Andrew Laing Tasting @Punavuoren Ahvne 26.6.2012"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8165/7468233248_8a676a3d63.jpg" alt="Andrew Laing Tasting @Punavuoren Ahvne 26.6.2012 by Rollofunk" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/7468233248/">Andrew Laing Tasting @Punavuoren Ahvne 26.6.2012</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/">Rollofunk</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>Last Tuesday we had the pleasure to sit down for a tasting held by third generation independent whisky bottler Andrew Laing, who was in Finland promoting his coming private range: Edition Spirits. We got to sample four of his Speyside bottlings, as well as two Islay drams bottled by his, as for now, more famous father Douglas Laing. The Speysides especially were a nice eye-opener for me, as I never got to experience this kind of variety and quality from that are before. <br /><br />Left to right:<br /><br />-Glen Spey 1991, 20yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Linkwood 1987, 24yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Mortlach 1989, 22yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Longmorn 1992, 19yo, Edition Spirits<br />-Bowmore 1987, 21yo, Douglas Laing<br />-Port Ellen 1982, 24yo, Douglas Laing<br /><br />My personal favourite of this menu was actually the Mortlach. A rarity from a refill Bourbon Hogshead cask. Apparently the distillery uses mostly Sherry casks, which sometimes can be a bit overpowering in the flavour palette, but this one was very nice.</p>Rollofunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064777860147253141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080315.post-36740029399180223762012-06-22T10:08:00.001+03:002012-06-22T10:08:25.303+03:00Unsteadycam<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/7418541148/" title="Unsteadycam"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5350/7418541148_7f373d09ef.jpg" alt="Unsteadycam by Rollofunk" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/7418541148/">Unsteadycam</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/">Rollofunk</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>This setup worked surprisingly well on a few occasions, and less so most of the time.

However, on the eve of May 1st the white student caps come out, and from the colours on the inside, and a few other details, you can tell a lot about the persons linguistic background.</p>Rollofunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064777860147253141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080315.post-81936188803983494142012-04-27T21:35:00.001+03:002012-04-27T21:35:53.840+03:00PDP Gala 2012<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/6973115230/" title="PDP Gala 2012"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7095/6973115230_aeda190892.jpg" alt="PDP Gala 2012 by Rollofunk" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/6973115230/">PDP Gala 2012</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/">Rollofunk</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>Today I really felt I'm living in the current World Design Capital: In the morning and up to lunch I was at Finpro listening to presentations on service design by people from IDEO in London, plus heard four Finnish company cases related to that. Then in the afternoon I headed out to Otaniemi to enjoy the creative madness that is the annual Product Development Project exhibition. As usual, the students had put in long hours and good effort, so the demo effects that some prototype's suffered were easily forgiven. Too bad we consultant types don't get to involve students in our projects. <br /><br />One thing I was a bit surprised about was that some teams weren't really interested in presenting, but were rather just hanging around and chatting with each other. For example LINK is hiring now, and I might have been a good target for some networking, even though I don't make the hiring decisions. Perhaps they were just all tired from finishing the proto's the night before, and enjoying the end of 8-9 months of hard work. I'd say some of them even earned it .</p>Rollofunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064777860147253141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080315.post-62115859184476489572012-04-26T22:12:00.001+03:002012-04-26T22:12:20.322+03:00Guess the Decade<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/6970366752/" title="Guess the Decade"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/6970366752_a8691a761a.jpg" alt="Guess the Decade by Rollofunk" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/6970366752/">Guess the Decade</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/">Rollofunk</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p></p>Rollofunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064777860147253141noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080315.post-75352682017720254492012-04-21T22:45:00.001+03:002012-04-21T22:45:05.030+03:00Glass Roof<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/6953689208/" title="Glass Roof"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7140/6953689208_fe795435ab.jpg" alt="Glass Roof by Rollofunk" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/6953689208/">Glass Roof</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/54544400@N00/">Rollofunk</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p></p>Rollofunkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064777860147253141noreply@blogger.com0
