#googleearthpro

One of the main reasons I’ve created these #googleearthpro maps is so that I have interactive maps while studying. I like having a map at the ready while I’m reading about an area. So many books and especially online resources lack good quality maps. The World Atlas of Wine is an exception as the maps in that book are excellent. With Google Earth, however, I can get down to an almost vine row or even “street level” view. I can hit ground level and look around. I can get as close or far away as I want. A side benefit from this project is that it will be useful in wine reviews. I’ve already been using GEP for that, but by the end of this project I’ll have the entire (or at least almost all) wine world mapped out and at the ready. #sommschooladvanced #sommlife #lifewithmark #questforthegreenpin https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtR1fhLdKc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Coming up for some air. Chugging away at my #australianwine scripts. Finishing up the Limestone Coast Zone (basically #coonawarra ) before moving on to #Victoria and then #WesternAustralia. Making updates to my spreadsheet and #googleearthpro maps along the way. Becoming more knowledgeable than before about soils, viticulture, wine chemistry/adjustments, and climate. Plus the constant reminder the #shiraz is the most planted red grape, and really just grape variety just about everywhere. There are some exceptions. What’s not pictured are two of the hardcover books open. The World Atlas of Wine and The New Southeby’s Wine Encyclopedia. Both the latest and greatest editions. Look for an update video soon. Probably tomorrow. The upshot is I’m still here and more wine and behind the scenes videos coming eventually. This project has just consumed a good portion of my free time. #sommschooladvanced #sommlife #lifewithmark #questforthegreenpin https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZIurHNAua/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some #behindthescenes #behindthegreenscreen stuff. Almost every time I create one of those bad ass #googleearth #googleearthpro animations I try to refine what I do. For my upcoming @darenbergwine review I’ve taken it to another level. This is a pic of my key frames and flight paths. A lot of this depends on animating 76 #streetview pics of the road leading up to their entrance from the main road. Just another reason why Wine World TV is #thebestwineshowanywhere I deliver content in a way that no one else does. #wine #winereview #videowinereview #youtube https://www.instagram.com/p/CMLTf-sLut1/?igshid=1ttaqzb9b47q9
