It might have been better if there had been more daffodils and the middle distance was more interesting.

I clever bit of work, much more imaginative than shots of The Boat Quay.
It must have taken ages.

I agree with JH about the white balance. Everything seems to have an un-natural sickly, yellow colouring.
What was the actual colour of those curtains at the right side of the image that JH included?

Hi Judy,
"Maybe the photographer wants to mimic . . . "
I can only think that he was mimicking how a bad panoramic photographer would produce a pano, or mimicking how a drunk might see the cathedral interior.
John W.
"I'd like to hear what the more creative people in this forum think about it."
Are you implying that the people who are not impressed by this wobbly pano lack creativity?

I checked out a couple more of the Guardian panos, They too were terrible. Not only did they wobble around but had poor exposure.
www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/interactive/2011/...
How is that the Guardian shows such bad panos when there are loads of us guys here on Panoguide who can churn out much much beter work.

Panotaker,
If you bend the bar, like my Nodal Samurai Lite, it would put the camera at an angle and give you more overlap at the zenith.
The position and angle of the of the bend are a little bit critical, but if your first attempt isn't spot on try again. At about 20p per piece you can afford to get it slightly out first time.
Incidentally my Nodal Samurai webpage has had 45,900 hits. Probably most of the visitors were after a pano-head device. If one of the commercial manufacturers had placed an advert, and/or given me one of their models to review, I wonder how many sales they would have won.

You will upset many people who have spent a great deal of money on some fancy pano-head. Having spent a fortune many resent anyone coming along with an inexpensive solution. I think it significant that no one has replied to you posting.
At least you are not getting the hate mail that I got when I made my Nodal Samurai.

"I am set up bar the lack of clients. . . "
There is a great gap between "being set up" and finding people being prepared to pay for what you have to offer.
If we knew the answer we would be too busy making our fortunes to reply.
Don't give up the day job just because you have a camera, PTGui and dreams.

The answer is nothing to do with the software or hardware you use, it is to do with the artistic standards that you set yourself.
Some panos have taken me two or three days to cobble together.

There is no need for a high precision panohead bracket.
If you use an 8mm fisheye lens the position of the no-parallax point varies by about 8mm, so a few mm here or there is not critical.
Good Heavens!, some people manage to take perfectly acceptable panos hand-held or using a wavering mono-pod.
My Nodal Samurai was easily made for less than £2, all it needs is a saw, a file and a drill.

The pano looked as if it might have been interesting but I got sick of staring at the big loading logo and gave up.

Dennis,
I have a very different attitude to photography to you. I am not a professional photographer and I do not wish to be one. If a company offered me $500 to produce half a dozen panos of an apartment that they wished to sell, I'd say, "No thanks". The thought of doing something like that 5 days a week appals me. I'd rather give up photography.
I would rather have the challenge of making my own pano-head bracket, and spending $1,000 going to photograph an interesting oriental junk-shop, market or temple. If taking the pano takes an extra minute or two, (and I don't see why it should), I don't mind one bit. I enjoy spending hours or days taking and processing these images. This is no hardship at all, it's a hobby that I've chosen and enjoy.
Of course I might see it differently if National Geographic were offer me $16,000 for a 'professional' assignment photographing a remote tribe in New Guinea, but even then, I'd take along my robust, rigid, reliable Nodal Samurai.
