Burning passion(s)
Posted: 24 Feb 2008 at 19:44 GMT
Hi, this is a pano I made at a photo meeting, with some fellow photographers in Timisoara,

Now you can see me in the pano if you want to, I'm the one holding my self-made remote and thinking of the burning sun.

www.dxn.ro/dxn_pano.html?pano=burning_passion

I didn't managed to have the sun properly in any pano yet.

The pano was made with Sigma 8mm 3.5 using NN3, 6 shots around.

Nice Pano, I like the smoker exhaling nonchalantly, the smokes looks great.
I noticed you copied from the surrounding blockwork to patch the nadir, the transition into this patch is flawless.
Keep it up!

Thanks Mark and gus, yes, some trace of clonning were visible, I fixed that.

Yesturday was Dragobete here is equivalent of Valentine's day

So I named the pano: Burrning passion I took the liberty to extend the meanning of the passion, so in the pano one can see the burning passion at the people who seems to be the happiest on the earth (they are hugging toward the church), then the young fellow which exhale his "burning passion" and, at the end us, the photographers, with our cameras, mine was on duty at that time so isn't visible in the pano.

I left the ranibow worshipping at one's fellow photographers feet, which give to one at salute the left hand as his right hand is a bit "different"
A message to him just in case he read this: I'll never drop my camera

EXCELLENT PANO! Putting that 8mm to good use I see.
Interesting - girls on one side and the men on the other. AND it' good to put a face behind the man smile
We had a thread going awhile back on panos with their creators in them: www.panoguide.com/forums/galleries/1885/
It's always fun to see who we are and the world "around" us.

Keep up the great work!
Cheers
Bill

G'day Dorin,

As usual, excellent work! Are they 'ideas' coming out of your head or birds in the distance wink ?

Man, I've got to get onto that DevalVR viewer - it is sooooo smooth. Is there much extra to do to show an image using DevalVR? I guess I need to take a closer look at Fiero's site. I particularly like the idea of the 'auto-detect' script.

Bill, I think it would be great to start up another thread for 'panos with the creator in them'. I will try one soon and perhaps get the ball rolling.

Regards,

Morten

Hi Dorin,

Good panorama mate, I like the scene as there is much to see (including you!)

Pity about the sky lacking definition in the clouds and the sun blow out. This though would be recoverable by making another set of images from the RAW files underexposed and then combining via a DRI method.

Still, great to see your work. smile

Regards, Smooth cool

Wow! thank you very much for the kind words. I like this pano too smile is one of those panos which tells you more when you look again second and third time. For example the young lady in left looking and look like thinking: What in the Earth that guy smoke ? You can't see that first time as the angle between those two is quite wide.. Another young lady with sun glasses looking and thinking about .. anyway smile

With FE lens, the way I act when I take the shoots is fast and in such way that the people do not know when I actually take the shoot, the remote and detents of NN3 are priceless for that.

It will be the sun and the details in sourounding sky soon , as I did some recent experiments staking 15 exposures with promising results, like this I done for crosseye 3D photo




thanks again,
Dorin
