Superlative panorama!!
I really like this one, Roger!
You've managed to capture a tremendous sense of depth, particularly on the extreme left of the picture, where the walkway seems to go on forever.
And the exposure throughout is perfect!!
When it comes to this kind of work, you're the Guv'nor!
Best regards, Chris
P.S. I am REALLY looking forward to your church panoramas!! Can't wait!
P.P.S. I think Igor's comment is a bit harsh!!!

I'm glad that you are enjoying it, Matej... The key here is the railing. It is actually straight. The passageways to left and right are in the same straight line. What the rotary camera does, particularly a very wide-angle camera like this one, is scrunch up the horizontal "spread," here condessing the square for live performnces into a smaller apparent area than it actually occupies. Please compare this with the stitched one of the same scene (the URL given in "About").

Not sure about the French village (I've never been to France so I can't tell), but it certainly looks different from any shopping mall I've ever been to. You keep revealing the funnier aspects of modern Japanese culture :-)
This is the first time I have come to more fully appreciate the tricks played by the panoramic nature of the camera. Of course, the distortion was obvious in the other photos as well, but here there is something else: I at first kept thinking of the building as being horse-shoe shaped; then I realized that the shadows of the railing are running in two opposite directions. So one hemisphere of my brain is telling me the building is actually straight, while the other still insists on it being curved. But the way the two wings meet in the background also suggests that it's curved (unless they are separate buildings, which also seems possible). All in all, I am having a very difficult time trying to figure out what I'm looking at - and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

Thanks, Igor. I was aiming to create--a postcard! So I guess it was a success... [grin]
