In the 1930s they started producing motionpicture footage. He continued focussing on military subjects, touring US military bases at home and abroad, until after the Second World War. He continued photographing all over the world, capturing landscapes in panorama; this view contrasts the industrial rail-yard against of post-war Anchorage with the wilderness beyond. Goldbeckâs technical expertise in panoramic photography led him to patent several improvements to the Cirkut camera, enabling photographers to record views from a great height while maintaining an even scan.
