Popular Post bobruss Posted June 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) The coverage by our crack photographers rivals any local or national publications. I feel like we don't miss a thing. From the core sample images to every demo underway, the first scoop of dirt excavated, every column being poured, every beam thats welded, , every crane being jumped, and to every topping out ceremony. You guys really rock. You keep us informed! Thanks Edited June 7, 2019 by bobruss 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keaton Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I've moved more to the north now in the Rice, so I can't see the whole block anymore but thinking about a livestream from my window. Any camera experts who can recommend a good one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any camera experts who can recommend a good one? I've been very happy with the Amcrest 4 megapixel (halfway between full HD and 4K resolution) camera. I use it with Blue Iris software which supports YouTube live streaming; I haven't checked to see whether you can do live streaming with cheaper/free software. Best thing is they are designed in Houston (but built in China by Dahua); Amcrest is based out of the Energy Corridor. This is the model I've used but they have both cheaper and more expensive models too. It's currently $92.54 shipped including tax, after the 10% new customer discount: https://amcrest.com/amcrest-ultrahd-4mp-dual-band-wifi-video-security-ip-camera-pt-black-ip4m-1051b.html As an alternative, if you have an old cell phone you can set one up to stream to YouTube too. That won't cost you anything, but the picture quality will be significantly worse. Another alternative is what I did for my construction webcam. It's also an old cell phone, but it takes still 3-megapixel photos every 5 minutes and uploads them to my server. That has the added cost of needing to configure and maintain a server (or I suppose you could use your PC if you leave it on 24/7), and won't give you live video, but even cell phones as old as the 7-year-old Galaxy S2 that I use can take decent photos.

Popular Post Luminare Posted June 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2019 So yeah. Don't ask how. Lets just say I got really lucky while shooting downtown during "the golden hour". I will say this. Construction Workers are super chill dudes. 19 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a fun spot to fly, so I'll try to make it back soon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtNsf Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 very impressive. this build is going up fast and I'm looking forward to it and the Preston and a few others changing downtown and it's awesome skyline even more than the last round that finished about a year ago ! By far, I think Houston has the biggest building boom happening in the U.S. right now, at least changes that are very apparent and visible to those who come to visit. Keep up the good work developers, contractors, architects and everyone making this the most exciting building boom in many decades ! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
