PS If anyone knows of an hdr processing program that actually has a user manual that is not head-up-the-arse and expects everyone to think on the same intellectual level as the author, perhaps they will tell me!

Maybe?:

Jon, You can certainly have several bracketed viewpoint images. If the images are linked on the Image Parameters tab, they will share the same viewpoint correction parameters as well as the same yaw, pitch and roll values.

Doug, buttons are back for me. That is a decent presentation for residential real estate.

Would you be willing to share how much would you charge for that presentation including the time to go onsite and shoot the images? Send me an email if you do not want to post that publically.

WOW, that looks amazing, solid and compact yet flexible setup!

Are you creating this for your own use or will it be a commercially available product?

How about a remote iPhone/iPodTouch interface including liveview feed

Creating Rectangular faces instead of CubeFaces?>

2010-03-19T12:16:20Z

Is there a way to transform an equirectangular panorama into rectangular faces and setting the dimensions for those faces. This to be able to decorate an entire room (obviously not cubic) with a panorama, when viewed from the absolute centre of the room the panorama should display correctly!

Anybody an idea, I guess it 'just' takes some math but I'm not the person to go down that road

4) Auto-align
5) Equalize (ONLY if lighting changed between frames!)
for “type”, choose “cylindrical JPG” and best size ration (%)” should be 100%. Set render area.
Set Blend method to SMART (This is how you do it Hans!)
7) click Render.
8) Create New Project
9) Re-Load pano from LOAD PANORAMA
10) Convert to QTVR

Re: Who is going to Tucson 2010 International Panoramic Photography Conference?>

2010-03-19T04:09:23Z

If you're wondering what Tuscon is like, John Law posted this great article to the conference forum back in January... to my detriment I only just read it. I'm now just as excited about the place as the conference.

Although I will say I'm also VERY happy to be seeing the Air Museum and Bone Yard while in Tuscon.

Tucson 2010 Panoramic Photography Exhibition (submissions open)>

2010-03-19T01:09:50Z

On behalf of the IAPP and the IVRPA, organizers of The Tucson 2010 Panoramic Photography Conference, we are pleased to announce the opening of submissions to the Panoramic Exhibition to be held on the Hilton Tucson East Hotel from April 14 to 18.

The Tucson 2010 Panoramic Photography Exhibition will showcase the current state of the art in panoramic photography.
This is not a photo contest, our aim is not to choose the best photo or attribute prizes, but rather a juried exhibition with the goal of assembling an exhibition to display a comprehensive collection of the different types of panoramic imagery currently being produced.

The rules for participating are simple:

* All submissions should be made trough the Tucson 2010 website using this form: tucson2010.com/panoramic-exhibition-form/
* We will only accept images captured from January 1, 2009 until March 28, 2010.
* The image needs to be exceptionally interesting artistically or technically.
* The maximum dimension of the prints we will accept is 110cm or 43 inches.
* The original photographs will have to be delivered in the Hilton Tucson East Hotel no later than April 12, 2010.
* All prints not picked up after the exhibit will become the property of Tucson2010 and retained for future exhibitions.

Please submit images following the above guidelines. Exceptions will have to be discussed with us, please e-mail any questions to exhibition@tucson2010.com.

Submissions will be accepted until March 28, 2010, but due to the short notice, we encourage everyone to submit their images as soon as possible as we need to plan the exhibition well ahead of our departure to Tucson.

Please note that, if you are attending the conference and want to bring your panoramic photograph to display, you are still required to fill the form to get approval to bring the images.
This is not a bring your photo and hang it on the exhibit panels. Even conference attendees that want to showcase their images will need to use the form.

We will do our best to build up a great exhibition and for that we look forward to your image submissions.

Carlos Chegado (Director IVRPA)
David Orbock (President IAPP)

Re: VR Object Movies>

I strongly urge you to buy an AC powered display turntable, and (used) enlarger timer. Display turntables run at ~1-3 rpm, so a timer that lets you set .1 second increments will let you fine tune the # of shots per rotation.
Cut discs of whatever material you wish, in whatever size is appropriate for your product.

I'm still early in the deployment phase with this process, and I have only hit one each: shoe store, sculpture gallery, antique shop, box maker, and bakery. No joy.

I'm also trying a work for hire approach with a couple of other commercial photographers, shooting with or for them, for their existing clients, under their studio name.
That might be my preferred M.O. I've got the gear and skills, but I'm short on presentation and business "front".
It's hungry out there.

Paul
Like you said, it all seems so obvious when some one points it out to you, like PhotoWebUSA did for me.

Note that I usually don't change the light bulbs for my lower paying real estate tours and just deal with the light I have for the hour I'm in the house.

Because the hotels are paying so much more and will use the images so much longer I have a different set of standards for my tours and photography

Good luck with the shoot

I hate it when they don't tell you the prices up front and ask you to ask them for the price.

I guess if I have to ask -- I can't afford it....
