These were frames taken from 1080p GoPro video. See if you can spot Mt Hood, Mt Adams, and Mt Rainier. I'm pretty sure you can also see the ocean on the horizon.
Erik and I saying goodbye to our balloon
Views from the first couple hundred feet
Higher and Higher
Still Higher
And yes, even higher
The last frame of video taken (about 75,000 feet)
Wow! Awesome shots. How did you recover your balloon and GoPro? You should submit to GoPro.
ReplyDeleteThe payload of the balloon was recovered with the Where's My Droid app on an LG Optimus S. The app sent us gps coordinates when we texted it a keyword. The balloon popped in the atmosphere and the payload fell safely with a parachute. And yes, we will submit a video and some pictures to GoPro soon.
