In June, when the Google Earth (Release 4 -BETA) became available for the Macintosh, we purchased the Google Earth Pro Version with the Movie Making Module, GIS Importing Module and the Premium Printing Module. We have created some experimental Standard Definition and High Definition Movies and decided to put some of these on our web site. Note the "High Quality" mode is not yet fully functional in the High Definition Mode, however, as soon as possible, we will be producing these movies to add to our HDV video showcase. |

7/24/06 - Google Earth Tour of 360 Degree Jamaica Panoramas
As an experiment we have created a Google Earth Tour of Jamaica that includes locations where we have taken approximately fifty five 360 degree panoramas. The tour identifies 11 Jamaica Protected Areas and an average of 5 panoramas locations in each one. At least one of the panoramas in each protected area is hot linked to the Jamaica Protected Areas Trust (JPAT) web site we are currently constructing.

We participated in the Spring Vernal Equinox World Wide Panorama. During the equinox we were in Jamaica doing photography for the Jamaica Protected Area Trust.

Their story is a sad one and we have added links to more information to help people understand their plight. |
