A walk in the botanical garden of Iasi

Last year I visited twice the nice city of Iasi (in Romania). I couldn't miss to walk in the botanical garden, the first one in my country. So I took my share of panoramas. Most people take vacation photos, but my vacation photos are 360 degrees panoramas. 
Here is the usual bunch of handheld stitches:

Nice panos. And of course beautiful subject(s). For me, a beginner, could you share the technique (I mean explain how on earth you handheld the camera)? I saw your panoblog and please accept my sincere congratulations for images and script.

I liked them all especially the last 3 panorama with lot of autumn leaves in the picture. It was hard to find such scenery at the place I stay.
The light box interface was very good too. Can you tell me how can you integrate the deval player into the pop up windows?
Cheers
Fatchai.

@photo41:
My handheld technique is deceptively simple. Just taking the photos in portrait mode, trying to revolve the camera around an imaginary nodal point. Sometimes it works great, sometimes not. It works better in open spaces and in strong light. Otherwise one needs a strong hand to keep the camera from shaking.
Then the hard part comes to processing and stitching the photos. And it takes longer than if I use the tripod + pano head. But the advantage is that I take the shots faster and draw less attention. Plus I can't always carry all the gear with me.
It takes practice and experience to make handheld panos... but it works.
@fatchai:
The integration is quite easy. I used the lightwindow from here:

thanks very much for your info.
a quick question, how can you configure your light window to be able to resize your pano and then display it within the lightwindow screen?
for example: use one of your panorama as an example...
with lightwindow:
with browser:
No different at all whether your panorama show it in borwser or within lightwindow.
I tested my pano with lightwindow, i couldn't get the same result.
Internet browser:
With lightwindow
i checked the lightwindow parameters but there is no such value for resizeing.
any idea? cheers

Looks like an iframe was used at first impression, perhaps tables.

No iframe was used.
Fatchai, if I understood right, you want that the panorama to fill the entire browser window?
If you're opening a lightwindow and do not specify any width and height, it opens almost as big as the browser window. And it has a default border, that I believe could be configured.
Try to use:
<body leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" >
in order to eliminate the margins in the browser.
On the other hand, I've noticed that you have a vertical scroll bar that shouldn't be there... are you using IE? Because on my FF there is no scroll bar...

If you add scroll="no" to your <body> then you will have no scroll bars at all if you choose.
<body leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" scroll="no">
Just be sure the scroll isn't needed vs screen resolution.

No worries Andrei
Can you tell me because I haven't tested (yet!) does the lightbox respect screen resolution? Meaning does it resize to fit screen at any resolution or aspect ratio?

If I don't specify width and height parameters for the lightwindow, it opens up to the available browser window. I tested with the browser maximized and with browser at different sizes. But once you've opened a lightwindow, it doesn't automatically resize if you're resizing the browser. Not dynamically, I mean.

hi Andrei:
thank you for you input. i actally wanted to upload my lighwidnow page to my server so you can view it online. however, another problem came up.
here is the actual page of my panorama.
www.my360vr.com/vr/wedding/wedding.html
here is the lightwindow page.
www.my360vr.com/temp/lightwindow/Testing.html
 now the lightwindow only show the blank page.
when i tried to view it offline, at least it still shown sth... (PS. regarding lighwidnow params, i did specify the width and height for the lightwindow popup.)
cheers
fatchai.

Fatchai, you messed up the paths to the JS files.
The requested URL /temp/lightwindow/p2q_embed_object.js was not found on this server.
So, if p2q_embed_object.js is not found and loaded then it's normal to have a blank page in the lightwindow...

Fatchai,
At the top of "your" panorama page code.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title></title>
<script language="javascript" src="p2q_embed_object.js">
You need to set the path to the p2q_embed_object.js file with your complete URL to this file
Like this:
