Hidden Melbourne allows you to travel through time an space with our virtual tour from the birth of Melbourne up to the present day. The birth of Melbourne was also the birth of photography and we have taken the opportunity to walk in the steps of the first image makers who captured the city during it's birth and growth.
In 1841 Samuel Jackson created a highly accurate and detailed 360° panoramic view of Melbourne (Camera Lucida, projection sketched on paper).
In 1875 the Paterson Bros captured a view from the same location during construction of a new spire (Glass plates coated with collodion, sensitised with silver nitrate, exposed then fixed).
In 2016 Hidden Melbourne captured a highly detailed panoramic view from the same spire (Sony A7R2 on cmos sensor).
All three scenes can be viewed here in this preview of the historic tour of the complete city and its towers (coming soon!)
