Aurora Tang’s Balloon Closing Method
February 5th, 2012 by mathew
This is Aurora Tang's method of sealing up her balloons. I think its the best I've seen. It was developed during a project to document Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty with the Getty Institute. She has used it extensively for landscape photography.
Lima, Peru: Kite Making/Ballon Mapping Workshop, U. of San Marcos
February 2nd, 2012 by anita
We held a Ballon Mapping and Kite Making Workshop on the Campus of San Marcos on Jan. 28, 2012 with a group of about 10 people from: Open Street Map Peru, Saberes Nomadas, and San Marcos Univ. (physics, geography, sociology, and geographic engineering depts.)
2 of the participants (Elver Villalobos and Samuel Pinares) were from Haquira, Apurimac, a pueblo in the Andes Mountains, where many residents (much as in other locations in the mountains) grow up learning how to make kites from local resources. Elver and Samuel spent about 20 minutes constructing kites from whole carizo branches (a dry thick reed some people use to build roofs in the shanty towns in Lima, and which is in plentiful supply in the mountains. it has to be broken down with rocks and whittled into thin strips before it can be used for the kite frame); plastic grocery bags, and string...

This is for use with the PET Bottle Rig
Instead of using a balled up piece of tape, a pebble, or some other thing to hold down my camera's shutter, I've gone to using a knot. This makes it easy to hold in place, and makes setting it easier. I prefer a rubber band, but tape also holds it down. tape may be more useful for bulging, non rectangular cameras.

balloon mapping tutorial (Korean)
November 30th, 2011 by leejaekyung
Hello. I'm jaekyung lee from South Korea.
These days, I'm trying to get picture at 350 meters high.
Two weeks ago, at last I could get picture and return my camera and camcorder.
저는 한국의 이재경입니다. 퍼블릭라보라토리의 풍선맵핑을 참고하여 한국에서 도시맵핑 프로젝트를 진행했습니다. 약간은 방법에 차이는 있을 수 있지만, jeff의 방법 모델을 많이 참고했습니다. 한국에서 구하기 쉬운 재료를 사용했고 모든 내용은 퍼블릭 라보라토리와 구글 사이트도구에 한국어로 공유하였습니다.
