  • Stream to youtube from Unifi NVR

    Here is a short script which uses ffmpeg to stream video from a Unifi NVR straight to Youtube. I experimented with a few different ffmpeg options and found this one produces the best stream with the best audio. #!/bin/bash while : do echo `/usr/bin/ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://[your-nvr]:7447/5a45afdg76256bcec92c377_0 -tune zerolatency -vcodec libx264 -t 12:00:00 -pix_fmt…

  • Portait using “Brenizer” panoramic method

    I have been experimenting with a technique called the ‘Brenizer  Method’ where a panoramic stitching technique is used with a telephoto lens. The portrait of Nick was taken by stitching together about eight photos, taken on a Revuenon 135mm manual focus f/2.8 prime lens. Each image is ~6MP, 16bit RAW so the image is insanely…
