About As soon as I saw this area I knew I wanted a 360-degree panorama of it. The dynamic range was far too great for a single digital exposure so this is pieced together from five-way brackets of exposures ranging from -2 to +2 apertures away from normal.

Thanks, John. I always value your ran.., er, comments. Fact is, these panoramas are not designed to be viewed this way and necessarily look odd. The way to view them is with a small, simple utility like FSPViewer. THEN you would see why I am so enthralled by immersive panoramas! There simply is no comparison. The flimsy level crossing gates are often criticized because a determined (and reckless) driver can easily crash them. Few do it twice, of course. [pained grin]

Your panoramas are so unique. I have yet to see them anywhere else. This must make your work stand out and thus, the recogniton and jobs you are getting. This is really quite neat. I have been playing a little with panoramas and actually posted one. I worked in PS to join 3 pictures. It took some fiddling, but I think the joins are not obvious. I have a few other sunsets I would have loved to try to put together, but unfortunately I did not use my tripod and the horizons are all at different levels which makes it more difficult.

OK, I still find this fisheye effect a little disconcerting, but the pano image here is so huge that the effect almost disappears as you pan around the scene. It's only right in the middle of the image where the tracks and overhead catenary are clearly curved that I find that it still gets me a bit. But overall this makes me feel as though I'm walking around next to you.

Incidentally, I do find it interesting that in the capital city of such an advanced society, you come across structures that would not look out of place in many of the less sophisticated parts of the world - those level crossing gates look as though they've been constructed in someone's spare room out of bits found lying around in the garage. And that's not necessarily a criticism - I feel that sometimes far too much is spent on nannying people with unduly complex equipment in Europe. There, I've had my rant for the day...

Hi Roger

PTgui had lots under the hood as you say...but I stitched together the same images in no time without a hitch and no fooling around with points of reference. Autostitch did all I could throw at it and created seamless images for free....check out my shot of "my place". Even the hydro lines lined up...anyway I thank you for your help! you obviously have lots of experience and great results to boot.

Cheers,
Tim

I'm glad Autostitch performed so well for you, Tim. Pity you didn't have such a good experience with PTgui, though. I swear by it, and it has a LOT of sophistication "under the hood" if the auto stitching programs ever let you down. When do we see the result? (Or perhaps it's up already--I'll go check.)

WOW make me dizzy!...great job and the composition works wonders on my vertigo and mental intrigue...ha-ha...Oh by the way Michael Kanemoto Suggested I try Autostitch for Pano's .... Wow does it work well and it is free! I tried various versions of PTgui and it worked ok for me but it didn't like my 12-24 lens as any sensible program would object. I played with it till 6am in the morning creating extra points of contact and to no avail, It hated my series. I have to say that Autostitch did my shots flawlessly in mere seconds and you don't even need to install it..
