Video Tutorials, tips, tricks, and more.
Posted: 26 Oct 2009 at 20:00 GMT
I want to give a special thanks to James at panoguide, for giving me the go-ahead with this post.

I am here to welcome everyone here to my new site called www.regaltips.com. This site is to be used as a tool to advance your techniques, read about panoramic photography in the news and to learn about fellow panoramic photographers. I hope you will utilize the video tutorials to learn about my methods and even share your own with others. Along side video tutorials there will be a News feature that pertains to our industry as well as reviews of relevant products that advance our business.

As the centerpiece of the website I will be featuring a monthly Panoramic Photographer each month whom I feel we could all benefit hearing from/about. I will release the November Panoramic photographer of the Month for November within the next 24 hours! So I would like to give you a warm welcome to regaltips.com. Thanks again to panoguide for allowing me to share this with the community.

-Terry

Regaltips seems to be complementary to Panoguide and not an alternative. I see it more as an e-magazine than anything else at the moment. Slick graphics and really good stuff from its first featured panographer. As to its forum, well that remains to be seen. Personally I like James's style where everything is listed chronologically with categorization only if you want it.

I viewed a couple of the tutorials. The one on removing tripod shadows is interesting but the method would only work for nearly symmetrical equirectangulars and then only in the less distorted band of the image. It makes no mention of transforms which would certainly round off the method and make it more useful for less symmetrical images. But the tutorial serves very well as just another method among many.

I shall be looking in on Regaltips often but won't emigrate from Panoguide to the USA just yet. smile But Terry, if you are looking in, Good Luck.

Thanks Mark, especially the comment about being complementary to Panoguide because that is really what I am aiming for. I hope people use the site as a tool just like any other website dedicated to our industry.

The tripod removal is very basic and is intended to encourage experimentation. It is A method and not THE only method for fixing a pano.

I am waiting on a bio pic for November's featured Panoramic Photographer and am literally itching to share his work with you all.

Thanks for looking in on regaltips.com and no need to emigrate, but I would be thrilled if you stopped by and shared your thoughts once in a while.
