Forum: Q & A Thread: Blending Nadir images.	Re: Blending Nadir images. Posted: 16 Jun 2008 at 17:14 GMT updated: 16 Jun 2008 at 17:15 GMT go to thread Thank you for all of the suggestions. Through a combination of methods described here I have managed to get the nadir to a point where I feel it's acceptable. Now I just have to work on getting the patched area to line up better. I have re-uploaded the image to my gallery, so please take another look here www.panoguide.com/gallery/865/ alert moderator
Forum: Q & A Thread: Blending Nadir images.	Blending Nadir images. Posted: 14 Jun 2008 at 17:43 GMT go to thread I've finally got my first outdoor panorama done (www.panoguide.com/gallery/859/), but as you can see, the seams on the patched Nadir are very obvious. How are you blending in your Nadir shots? I tried to use the Adjust->Levels in CS3, but couldn't get it right since the shades differ from the top of the Nadir to the bottom. Any pointers? alert moderator
Forum: Q & A Thread: Generating viewer HTML pages.	Re: Generating viewer HTML pages. Posted: 2 Jun 2008 at 20:48 GMT go to thread For pre-made templates I like what there is to offer at www.templateworld.com. If you're a member the downloads for the templates include all of the artwork in .psd files so you can pull out the pieces you want if you're modifying them. As for a layout, if I can find some free time I'll see what I can do but I can't make any promises. I'm usually busy trying to perfect my interior pano technique. alert moderator
Forum: Q & A Thread: Generating viewer HTML pages.	Re: Generating viewer HTML pages. Posted: 2 Jun 2008 at 16:50 GMT updated: 2 Jun 2008 at 16:50 GMT go to thread Thanks for the replies. I was just wondering if the off the shelf software generated the HTML code for you. I develop web pages as a full time job, so it's not so much a skill issue as it is wanting something to reduce my time to web for panoramas. I'll probably mash up bits and pieces of the panorama pages that I think look good to come up with something. I do like the DevalVR auto-detect/ability to change panorama format between DevalVR/QuickTime/Flash. Thanks again! alert moderator

I like the layout and was wondering if it was an off the shelf deal or something you've done yourself. alert moderator

Posted: 2 Jun 2008 at 14:44 GMT go to thread I've been looking at all of these great panoramas and am wondering what you are using to generate the HTML pages that the panoramas are embeded in. Is everybody doing it by hand, or do any of the software packages generate it for you? alert moderator

I did not shoot an accurate Zenith or Nadir since my pano head is too small for my camera. I could have probably done it free hand, but that will be next time.

Forum: Q & A Thread: Nikkor, Sigma, or Peleng	Re: Nikkor, Sigma, or Peleng Posted: 12 Apr 2008 at 22:24 GMT go to thread The upgrade won't happen for some time or unless this camera dies. I wouldn't technically consider a D70 an upgrade, but rather "newer" would be a better term. I do want a camera that can do +/- 2EV in case I want to do simple bracketing. Since I'm still just an amateur, there's a lot I need to learn about both photography and equipment. Thanks for your input, I'll hold out for the Nikkor. alert moderator
Forum: Q & A Thread: Nikkor, Sigma, or Peleng	Nikkor, Sigma, or Peleng Posted: 12 Apr 2008 at 19:09 GMT go to thread I'm trying to research which lens would be best for interior panoramas as that's what 90% of mine will be. I'll be using a D50 for taking the pictures, but may upgrade to a D70 later on. I am looking at: Peleng 3.5/8mm Nikon 10.5mm Sigma 8mm I don't have a problem taking 6 around vs. 4 around so that's not an issue. I may want to shoot in confined spaces so I would like items as close as 1 foot to be in focus. Can someone provide some insight into which would be best for my goals? Thanks in advance. alert moderator
