I thought of that, but I can't match the two panoramas perfectly. Remember that the second panorama was taken the next day, and I forgot to mention, I did it handheld.

Hi everyone!

My attempt to photograph the nightsky turned into a panoramic view of this valley, where is a small village named Satic.

I realized that I suck at astrophotography but since I've spent hours on that place, I still want to show you the result:

The next day I went to the same place and shoot the daytime version:

Please enjoy!

Hi people,

In the last week's vacation, I visited a cave named Pestera Ursilor (Bear's Cave) located in National Park Piatra Craiului. Romania, of course smile

The cave is not suited for public visiting, so there were no lights or other improvements. Complete darkness. And quite cold. But we (me and 2 friends) managed to stay there for over 3 hours, painting the cave's walls with light and taking pictures.

This is the panorama that resulted: www.csvd.ro/galerie-pano/panos/pestera_ursilor/ (3Mb).

I know it's not perfect but I'm excited about it and quite happy with the result. Next time will be better, now I've learned something from my mistakes.

And on a funny note, this is the longest shooting session of mine, for just _one_ panorama... :P Over 3 hours, omg! laugh

Please enjoy, feedback appreciated!

pano0.net did more than just "borrow". It is actually called stealing! Let's name it right. And not showing proper credits and attributions is much more worse than this.

Besides, the interface for showing the panos is also stolen from 360cities.net. I even wonder if they bought krpano or that was also stolen...

Panos from Maramures

Great!
In Maramures I've planned to make my vacation this summer. I hope to wander around for about 2 weeks and take plenty of panos! So this is a nice preview for me.
Those are handheld panos or you've used all the toys? wink
I was wondering if they let you put the tripod in the church and what did you tell them!?

Personally, I think it's a nice idea to get together a postcard and a miniCD. And it get's more nicer when you get a foldable postcard in panoramic format and a cd with more panos, aka a virtual tour.

People are producing postcards and offline virtual tours for a long time. But I don't recall to ever see or buy a postcard with a miniCD attached.

The content of the cd I bet it's not limited to Windows or MacOS or whatever. It's the choice of whoever makes that virtual tour.

I like the idea because for me, as a panoramic photographer it's a way to get more exposure and reach people without internet connection or without broadband and deliver my panos to a higher quality. Also it's an additional service(product) that I can offer to my clients.

So, I don't get it, why all this fuzz about miniCDs? You don't need a high IQ to figure out that you can't use it on a slot based cd drive! Moreover it already has a warning written on the card. I even risked and tried to put it into my cd drive on my laptop (I don't have a tray) and it wouldn't suck my miniCD like it does with the normal CDs. So I stopped trying and no harm was done to my drive. But I guess that someone dumb enough will keep trying and forcing until something get's damaged...

... using my simple highpass based sharpness.

????!??? And that is?

On my screen I must say that the maximum sharpness version looked ok. So I can live with that. I guess that the middle way is also ok, but maximum sharpness is not over sharpened in this case.

But for the moment I fail to see the usefulness of this thing. I mean, why would you generate 2 versions of the pano, to visually inspect the sharpness level and then redo sharpening to the pano?

I do the sharpening when I process the RAW files. I'm not very sure that sharpening as the last step is the right move.

Yes! I do! smile
Nice scene there. Where's this place, in Iulius Mall?
I can't comment on the panos, because there was nothing wrong jumping into my eye! smile
It's an good example of some panos that makes me apreciate the scene, the location and I guess that's the ultimate goal of the 360 degrees panos, right? smile

The panos are looking good! But it's quite an interesting space there for an art exhibition. So, the immediate effect of you panos is that I wanted to see more of this exhibition. I guess it's a good thing smile

Hi Dorin,

Sounds interesting, but as Smooth said, you gave no info regarding what might be or how it will work.

Did you built a prototype? It would be nice to see examples made with this setup.

From my point of view, I would be interested in a setup that is light and easy to carry around, easy to mount/install at the location and in the same time to provide precision so I can batch stitch the panos.

I think any setup that is better than other available on the market and brings something new, is worth producing.

Also there should be interest in buying something like this if it has a nice price tag.
