What is an Insta360?

It's an "action camera" that's almost magic. The front lens shoots 180°, and the back lens does the same. The camera knows where its body is, so it removes itself from the resulting image. What you wind up with is a complete sphere of video. You load it onto your computer and decide which areas to include in your video. If you use a selfie stick, it knows where the stick is, and it removes it from the video.

Hi Roni

I’ve taken pictures at Planting Fields. That video was so cool!

I live in Franklin Square.

Ah, yes. I can picture it now - as it was in 1965. : )

That reminded me of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.

Jerry, I did something like that last year. I bought the Better Half a new bowling ball as a surprise Christmas gift. Of course, she was not there at the time I bought it. A bowling ball is no good without holes and without her there, I told them to use my fingers for the size of the holes. I also had my name put on it so that she would remember that it was a gift from me and I placed it under the tree with a bow on it.

Do you have any idea how cold it is these nights sleeping outside in the dog house?

Now you know why so many people build dog houses with heat and A/C.

I've never heard of Planting Fields. Was it there in 1965?

I’m not sure but I’ll look into it. It’s north shore Old Brookville.

Thanks Jerry. I also grew up on south shore of Nassau. I am now on the north shore.
Have fun with the camera.

Roni

Jerry and Ronichas, I lived on L.I. when I was a staff photographer for Newsday decades ago. Of course I covered every town on the island, North and South shore and in between, Nassau and Suffolk County. Still have friends there and visit on occasion . Lived in Garden City, East Northport, and Rocky Point at different times.

Cheers and best to you both
