About This is the first of my Widelux swing-lens panoramas to be uploaded to Usefilm in a size large enough to appreciate the detail. Here's hoping it works...

The exposure was difficult, Carsten, and I had to do a bit of balancing in PSP. The detail comes from using only a thin central strip of the lens as the slit moves over the film. As you guessed, it is a single shot, 130-degrees field of view. It's a shame this camera went out of production years ago and can no longer even be serviced by the manufacturer.

Incredible shot ! Perfectly exposed, and superb detail in the 1200 view, I think it is the amaount of detail that makes this shot so attractive (great new feature here !). Let me guess, no stitch ? What FOV is this ? You have a really interesting set of cameras for wide angle and pano.

Cheers

Carsten

Thanks, Paul. Yes, don't they look better at 1200 pixels! I also have two new ways of producing panoramas (stitching circular fisheye shots taken on 35mm film--a couple of those are up already though not at the larger size--and stitching square fisheye shots taken on 120 film with a 6 x 6 SLR). The latter should be particularly sensational. Whoopee!!

Great panoramic Roger, like the dof in this one aswell! you can really see way off in to the background, usually something that isnt highlighted in most panoramics

Beautiful, Roger. Yes I'm the same Deb you knew.

Oddly enough it shows only as 750 pixels for me. It's possible that's because I'm no longer a donor. No big deal for me, but it becomes important if you use Usefilm to show photos to prospective clients/customers or even family members. I doubt you can ask a client to "donate" just to see the full size.

Best of luck, and Merry Christmas.

At the moment PayPal is refusing my credit card. I will be checking the precise form of the address registered with the credit card company today (get that wrong and it won't go through). There is surely no reason they would refuse your Visa? Maybe you have the same problem as me (although this is a first time, for me, having used PayPal many many times in the past).

Hi, Ellen. I am getting E-mail notifications of comments, now. Progress! CSS is the bread-and-butter of modern website design. It is quite incredible to me that a website of this complexity should have been designed without making full use of it. The knowledge is widespread and readily available. There are hundreds, if not thousands, who can handle it, although there are a few "gotchas" about making it compatible with all operating systems and browsers. Can be done, though. Needs to be done, I would say! I hope someone answers Al's call for help. Can't help feeling that it should have been made BEFORE rather than AFTER the complete redesign. His lack of budget is a ham-stringer though. I know an expert who would be able to do a great job, but he has to earn a living...

Thanks for your time Roger! No such option on my screen :0( I have tried to become a donor a few times allready.....but no paypall for Belgium, the code from my visa has been refused also. If they would just open an international account where people could send their money this would have been a lot easyer.Ithink they would double their donors. I know a few Belgian usefilm members who would donate if they could .

Hi Roger. I got my comment back but it's a start. I followed the crumbs to get here. I suspect you won't get a notice for this.
Yes I still see the adverts. In one respect they aren't flashy and intrusive but it does add a lot more useless clutter to a field that is already constricted. Al was asking for someone that knows CSS (?) to have a go at widening the viewing field. It might have been said in haste. Do you know that code?

Hi, Ellen. This is the requested comment, to see if it gets delivered... Do you still see advertising? If donors are to be subjected to all this advertising it's a pretty strong disincentive. But if the panorama display is a donor privilege, I gotta have it!

Roger Williams Roger Williams   {K:86139} 12/18/2005
Hi, Peter. I don't know whether this is linked to donor privileges or not... but I see a "Click HERE for full size panoramic view of this image" immediately under the photo. Click on that, and you see an 800-pixel window into a 1200-pixel image. If you'll let me know your E-mail address and if the "send an image" function is working I'll send you it--I believe that for the one image you don't need donor privileges. I must say that this panorama function would make becoming a donor much more worthwhile...

Hi Lily
Since you said earlier you must have found the panorama feature. This feature must be very well hidden, since i am looking at this photo for an hour.....looked at it with a telescope,a microscope, double glasses, invited neighbours friends to look for it but..........no such thing. The photo is 750x 284 pix wide. Could you pleeaasseeee show me where to look.....so i can send these people back home!!!!?????

This is VERY BEAUTIFUL, Roger!!! I love all the details, the colours, the perspective and the animation, which I know so well. I thought you'd go see the Hagoita Matsuri which is held until Dec.19. For us it is too far and after the Yokohama experience I don't want to freeze any more. All my best to you, dear Friend!

A quick visit to let you know that I am still keeping tabs on your work Roger. You have posted some lovely shots of late and this one in particularly has gained impact from the new UF format. This is a wonderful colourful market scene.Excellent.
In case I don't 'see' you again before...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Be lucky..Be happy...Ray

This is a very good panorama. Your camera seems to be up high on a tripod since the people just in front seem to be very small.The size on my screen is still 750x284, maybe a bigger panorama size is a donor option?????

Cool!
Finally a good panoramic option!

Really nice because you can see a lot of scene in the same picture,... many stories

Nice panorama, Roger. I guess you will be a heavy user of this function.

This is nicely done. I particularly like the chap looking at the camera from the side of his eye. Looks like he turned just to avoid being in shot. Little did he know! :)

I've been looking high and low for the new panorama feature and finally found it! Roger, this is a real treat. I think I had commented on this image earlier but it's so much better to be able to see the finer detail. Looking forward to the rest of your panoramas.

Roger this is 10! It doesn't say what film number you used but I know it wasn't the 800. The color on this is superior in in every way. The detail is beyond my wildest imagination. I'm not sure how you managed to control the DOF so well and if you tried to explain I would not get it. Just know I greatly respect your talent and abilities. I eagerly await your next pano Roger san.
I can't help myself, WOW!

Roger are you up? Could you comment on one of my shots to see if it will come through.
Thanks

Thanks, Jan. I can see I will have resize and reload many of my earlier panoramas to take advantage of this larger display function. It was a long time coming but it's all the more welcome for that!

Jan Graziano   {K:17920} 12/17/2005
Looks like it works really well! Wonderful colors and super details in this shot. I especially like the expression on the forward facing faces in the right foreground. Talk about candid camera. The details in this shot and the "whole" picture would have been lost with anything smaller. Thanks for sharing this one - makes me feel like I was there. Jan
