This 360 Virtual Tour was created nearly exactly one year ago, on New Years Day 2009 to be precise.
This was a tour created for an outdoor climbing company and they wanted a rotating tour to be displayed on an Plasma TV in their briefing rooms / office as a nice centrepiece. They wanted a scene that was desolate and preferably with no people in view. Seeing as Cheddar Gorge is a hugely busy attraction all year round, it made sense to pay the location a visit early in the morning, when most will still be in bed nursing a cracker of a hang over.
I arrived around 8, and took several shots over the next hour. In the end a different tour was chosen for them with climbers in shot, although I have always like this eerie shot.
I will be returning in January 2010 to re-create the shot with some HDR to bring out more of the highlights.
