First time out earlier this year, shot with my 350D and a Sigma 4.5 1:2.8 Fisheye, tripod mounted on a Nodal Ninja head. Must get out and do some more if the weather picks up, I do love my 360 vr movies

Second one's sky is all blown to hell, getting exposure at a happy medium for a whole 360 is something of an art, apparently. Perhaps I'll just start bracketing and editing a bit more

I decided to make a pano for my desktop (8:3) but due to locked offices, I had to settle for the more boring sides of campus. I took these from about 30 yards apart, so they won't stitch together even though they overlap. Maybe next fall....

On a lighter note, here is a panorama of 155 photos. I threw in a 100% crop. I hope it doesn't gently caress the tables.



I took it handheld. I dropped all my equipment within my first twelve hours in Cairo, down an elevator shaft, five stories high. So every photo I took, every panorama, long exposure, and so on I took I took manually, holding very still, trying to rotate the camera on that invisible nodal axis.

I also destroyed a 303sph Manfrotto, and a 14-24mm F/2.8 Nikon. And the bottom is ripped out of my Nikon D700, exposing circuitry. The arm of the 303sph snapped off taking the bottom of the D700 with it as it hit a lift support about halfway down and just flipped easily, almost leisurely into a pregnant cat who'd nested on top of the defunct elevator, ripping it into three pieces and making dirt shoot out and create a dust cloud on the ground floor.

Camera survived, though, and still works A1. I sort of feel like I should write out a story with my photos attached all nice and digg it and be an advertisement for the durability of Nikon's cameras. Maybe make a youtube video, if I was prettier-like. And maybe they'll give me a free camera.

I shot a 360 panorama with a wide angle, making sure there was plenty of overlap. Photoshop doesn't seem to be able to handle it and explodes. Any specific settings I should use in photomerge for wide angle shots?

Shot this with my 70-200 4.0L. Original size is 16008x4013. I've got a few panoramas of this skyline, once I've stitched them all together, I'll have decide which one is most deserving of a giant gently caress-off print for our living room.

drat, the best I've seen is 99 photos stitched together...of the moon...from earth. It was images from a D200 through a nice telescope, but my god, the work that would go into something that large... how long did it take (and how) to ensure you had every needed frame?


Content:
I hit just the right moment. These were raw files saved out as JPG from Lightroom, stitched with Autopano Pro, and cropped and resized in photoshop. Notice I didn't mention curves, contrast, anything of that nature because I didn't have to do it. This was THE right moment, two minutes later it looked like poo poo.

This needs more blacks. Open it up in photoshop, CTRL+L, then move the left most bar more to the right. Otherwise, great pic!

I actually tried to get exactly how it looks. On my monitor, that's exactly how it looked in real life. Bar the shimmering heat lines of the desert, the smoking chimneys on the right and the one or two visible people moving amongst the tombs. It is loving stark, and it is loving bleak, you know? It hurts your eyes with a plain so barren and yet so full.

Or maybe that picture doesn't say that, really. I probably should put more blacks in it.

Actually, I think you're right. I was looking at it on my laptop which is much brighter than my desktop. I think it looks fine now.

Yeah, I kept snapping as I followed it. I should have tracked it the other way, but I didn't know how long the train was. It might have ended too soon.

Is it best to pivot around one point or move the camera over to get a pano?

AIIAZNSK8ER, pivot the lens over one point.



It makes me think of Monkey Island. I showed people my electrical tower photos and expressed my obsession and everyone told me "you can't sell those, you need to tap into the nature market". So I'm giving it a brief go. Must admit, not much of a fan of nature. It can almost always just be put to better use for us.

I finally figured out that Photoshop's panoramic action does a far better job merging photos then Canon's stupid utility.

I know basically, bar one or two that have escaped me for various reasons (from being locked up tight or not looking like a car park), all the car parks in the 3000 post code in Melbourne. I've got them all listed down on Google Earth in a KMZ.

I'm thinking of a photo series of panoramas from all of them.
