The Dutch Skies 360° ( HDR ) project started in 2008 and is ongoing.

The magic of capturing skies with clouds in all kinds of different weather conditions is really something that gives a lot of energy/ideas. The recordings are made in Scheveningen *) can change very quickly so on some days can have multiple recording session and all skies can be all completely different. So Capturing skies is extremely satisfying so its pumps every recording session a huge amount of fresh dopamine into the upper-room, guess its a pretty healthy addiction.

The Dutch Skies 360° HDR are already being used worldwide for 3D, Architecture, VR, VFX, Games, Documentaries, TV Series, Advertisement productions , Movies etc.

Imagine going to a blockbuster movie here in the cinema in Scheveningen and seeing the skies being used and the captured sky is shot a couple of 100 meters from the cinema and...not allowed due to non-disclosures not allowed mentioning it. It sounds a bit awkward but in fact it isn't, this situation it stays a bit magically for me personally.

Think its highly possible you might have seen The Dutch Skies 360° ( HDR ) somewhere in the media ….in the back ground , unnoticed …. coincidentally thats also the spot where my position as living creature prefers to stay.

The image on the right ( or above on a Mobile Phone ) you see Scheveningen on the back and in the front the “Analog Panorama viewer” created by Hans Groothuis

The usage of the - Analog Panorama viewer - is “To show the potential of the individual HDR images as a light-source, they are used in a 3D scene, and rendered in Modo. The
3D Testmodel is an Analog Panorama viewer, or what it could look like, if such a device should exist"

*) living op Scheveningen is like living in Jurrasic Park ..the birds make pretty crazy sound effects ( day and night ) . Only a bit lesser dangerous al-through better watch out eating ( a icecream ) on the harbour / boulevard
