- The Faroe Islands have some of the most beautiful roads in the world. It is impossible to describe what it feels like driving through the green valleys and up the mountains, or alongside the ocean, surrounded by steep drops and tall cliffs. It’s an experience like no other.
But there is a problem. Unlike almost all other parts of Europe, we don’t exist on Google Street View. The Faroe Islands may be rugged and remote but this collection of 18 islands in the North Atlantic also provide some of the world’s most magical landscapes and it is time that this hidden Nordic nation is revealed to the world.
Taking matters into my own hands, I decided to create my own version of Street View – Sheep View 360.

Dude. Thanks for the shout out actually. That's a cool video. I've never even heard of The Faroe Islands, but now I'm glad I did. It's beautiful as fuck. I'm bookmarking this place on the wishlist of places to live. Dala and I have joked about owning a goat farm, even though we'd have no idea what we're doing. That place would be perfect for that. Edit: Now I've found myself down the all too familiar rabbit hole that is Wikipedia. I'm reading about folklorists and criticisms of The Aarne-Thompson classification systems.
Right?! Remote and picturesque, not the worst combination. ...trying to read that wiki page and have no idea what I'm reading. Clearly not up to date on folklore.
Yeah. I'm just curious as to how they're gonna do in the near and distant future. I hate to be bleak, but I hear islands and coastal cities all over the world are slowly sinking due to rising sea levels. Hopefully they'll do alright, cause they obviously have a very rich culture that they're very proud of. As for Aarne-Thompson? Think of it like TV Tropes but for folk stories. The biggest criticism it seems to have is that their classifications often seem arbitrary and inconsistent. Maybe it's because I'm not a folklorist myself, but I think in the end it doesn't matter too much.
Thank you! Made my evening! I have a friend who makes weird math videos with a 360 camera. He recommends the Ricoh Theta S ($338 on Amazon). I will probably buy one to use to take pictures around my property for use in marketing. Visitors to the website could then look around from various vantage points.
Does anyone here have a 360 camera? I do. I've been taking a lot of pictures but all the rules of photography go out the window when you're taking pictures in 360. I was wondering if anyone else came up with tips? My big one is to have as much distance variation in your shot as possible. If you're on a mountain top, it's better to be near a tree than on a vista as it gives you more things to look at.
