I'll be taking a Christmas pano of our family inside a photo booth but want 4 timed poses of our family to appear (1 new image map (pose) every 5 seconds with perhaps a quick white flash between shots)as part of the pano. The entire pano would not need to be changed, just the 4 images of our family during the sequence. I currently use Pano2VR software. Any clues on how to do this without extensive programming would be helpfulsmile

Thanks in advance,

OOPS- it looked like 95 was a test shot taken before I had settled into my rotation. I just found the good one.

I'm finishing up a series of 10 panos for a virtual tour, and cant seem to get this final pano to stitch properly in PTGUI. Ive reset control points, re-arranged image order- nothing seems to give me a good stitch. Any help or suggestions on getting this thing to stitch properly would be greatsmile

Canon 7D + Sigma 8mm

I recently purchased a Canon 7D. I will be adapting a Sigma 8mm (nikon mount) to use to take panos. Can I stitch with only 4 shots around like I could with my Nikon D50? The D50 has a 1.5x crop sensor, the 7D has a 1.6x crop sensor.

Thanks,

Mike Jensen

I'm using blogger. How do you get the small panos in your entries and header. I'm using PTGUi/pano2vr & CubicConverter. I'm currently just adding links to the stills:

...and yes, it it possible to do it without extensive coding?...

VERY cool, even as an alpha version.

How did you do it? Software? Hardware?

...last question wink

How do you compare the Tokina 10-17 to the Sigma 8mm 3.5 in overall sharpness? I'm assuming I would be normally using the Tokina at 12mm for my panos...

Hans or Smooth,

Have either of you had experience with the Canon 10-22 f/3.5 - 4.5 USM? Seems to be rated better than the Tokina...Would this lens need to be shaved?

Thanks,

I'm selling my beloved Nikon D50 and moving UP to the Canon MK2. I have the Sigma 8mm 3.5 nikon mount.

I will be using the Canon for video as well, so I want to get something that gives me a full frame. What would you suggest for a great pano lens in Canon? I would prefer to shoot no more that 4-6 shots around (excluding the nadir and zenith).

Thanks,

Dorin,

...if not on the nodal point, where would you suggest the camera be placed in proximity to the rotator?

Thanks,

Dennis,

...like you, I have found that the Sigma 8mm is not usually sharpest at the infinity focus setting. I get best sharpness at the 1m focusing mark at between f4-f5.6. I occasionally have sharpness issues at the edges, but most can be eliminated by using layer masks in photoshop...

...another camera worth considering is the new Nikon D5000. Same chip as the D90 and has exposure bracketing:

• 3 frames
• Up to +/–2.0 EV in 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps
