Because two rocks can look amazingly similar? :rolleyes:

No, it's Auckland, New Zealand on a good day :)

[manny]

needs more high res versions! :P

email them to me if you dont have the webspace for them, and i'll host.

[Ked]

I know I seem to be incredibly n00bish when I ask this, but can anyone explain how to do these widescreen photos? I just recently got my own digital camera and I'd love to do one of these some day, its just that I don't have much experience with Photoshop.

[PeePers]

you know how to make panoramic shots?
and then its photoshopping them together
quite a hard thingy to do i guess

[Ked]

Nope, I have no idea how to make panoramic shots either.

[manny]

i have a program bundled with my camera which tries to splice them all together for you. I'll see if i can upload it.

A panoramic shot is simply when you take one picture, then rotate yourself a bit and take another. Then, when they're developed, you can stick the photos together to have a picture twice as wide (or more).

I haven't explained it very well, but I think you can work it out.

my first try and its not very seamless but its a start. :)

Thanks Smeag that actually does make sense to me. Would need something to keep the camera still though, I couldn't keep it straight for my life.

[freddiestarfish]

a tripod of camera stand sometimes comes with cameras


and a table or surface that is flat-ish would work

[Ked]

I want a tripod actually. Anyone got an idea roughly how much they cost?

[manny]

tripods:

I got an ultra sturdy mini tripod for my heavy slr.

http://www.pedcopods.com/specsup2.htm

You can strap it to things like posts and rails which makes it really versatile. Theyre about $20.

I found the program I got with my camera. "PhotoStitch". It's about 1.5mb zipped up. I'll send over IRC if anyone wants it.

this one isnt as wide

[AverageMan]

Another Scottish one, the beach at the end of a Loch whose name I can't remember. Made this with Panorama Factory (http://www.panoramafactory.com/), which seems fairly good but it does leave a watermark to be chopped out.

Cheers to Manny for hosting :D

[moog]

hello, may I welcome you to a full 360 of my frontroom. Please excuse the mess and suspect toilet roll which is actually for my snotty nose. (Really. Stop looking at me like that)

clicky for bigger (its a meg though)

[scram]

Brings back memories

:(

[manny]

a reminder of how it used to look 3 years ago

http://ninjarobots.net/weebl/room-thumb.jpg (http://ninjarobots.net/weebl/room.jpg)

and how it looks now

http://ninjarobots.net/weebl/room2-small.jpg (http://ninjarobots.net/weebl/room2.jpg)

you can still see the bluetack on the door from the guiness poster, and the camera on my desk front of the monitor in the 2nd pic is the one i used to take the first pic.

[eejit]

this is one sexy thread.

keep up the good work.

[moog]

indeed. voted 5 for sexiness

[itchy]

i vote it 10 out of ten... (10)
very sexy.
but manny.
comment.
in the second pic, if you click it, it only shows half of the pic.
titty biscuits
also.
you have 2 comuters in your room!
what i would give to live in your room...
aaahhhh.....

[manny]

theres the parts to build another one and a half computers in that room too, evidence of the life of being a geek :(

i did upload the full pic to the site, but older versions of IE have a limit on picture dimensions, so it wont show.

right click the link, save it to disk, and open it in a paint program and you can see it all.

edit: thats one of my fav futurama eps in your sig :D

[itchy]

i never knew that was futurama.
heh.
well then.
i did what you said.
thank you.
umm...
yah.

hi-res version of my first hill one
http://cheesefarm.co.uk/pics/hillpanbig.jpg

[DarkTrojan]

woo yay more...

[DarkTrojan]

I post again! Waheeeee! :D

[Fick]

Here's my first attempt. I took these photos intending make a panorama out of them, but never got round to it until now.

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/jungfraupanoramasmall.jpg

Some slight perspective issues, what with the hill in the foreground being several miles nearer to the camera than the background. Huge version is here (http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/jungfraupanoramabig.jpg)

[foxy]

that is so very gorgeous, makes me feel the need for ski season to start !

Is that on the road heading out towards Kelly Tarltons?

Went there recently and Auckland is amazing...

so amazing in fact that I'm emmigrating there next summer!

[DarkTrojan]

Oh shi...

As a matter of fact it is.

[manny]

I wondered where this thread had gone to :confused:

Some slight thread necromancy going on here, but I hope you'll forgive me!

Lovely sky earlier today, photostiched together.

[basstard]

Off on Duke of Edinburgh, somewhere in the middle of the Scottish Wilderness:

(The pic's now a quarter its original size, so probably lost some quality)

[DarkTrojan]

Woo... more pics :D

[EasyTiger]

Badly put together. This is Paphos harbour in Cyprus. I made this when I was there in August. How I wish I was still there :/

[Fick]

Since this thread has had a bit of a revival I thought it might be useful to offer this to any new people.

Many moons ago manny said

If anyone wants this now I've got my copy out, so find me (not manny) on irc or pm me if you want to get hold of it.

[Lewiji]

I was going to make one of my kitchen, but due to my cameras crappy automatic light adjustment it looked disgraceful. I had a program called vue d'esprit or similar that generated beautiful looking 3d landscapes, and you could render to a panoramic view. T'were great, I tell thee.

[Fick]

My mum wanted to know what my room was like, so I took/made this. Ain't I sweet? Huge version is here (http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/room.jpg)

[Death]

360 from the top of a mountain in la plagne. It was badly done. the irony is that the camera I used has a panorama making option which I wasn't told about.... Oh well.

[Cainam]

California. I hated the place when I was there, but I got a few good pics.

[DarkTrojan]

Woo for the revival of this thread \o/

I'll take some more soon, promise :)

[leeroy]

It's been a while. A ridge in North Wales, with the summit of Snowdon somewhere in the cloud.

That one's very nice!

Not sure if this is really the right place for this, but have a look at this panorama (http://www.panoramas.dk/fullscreen3/f1.html) of Times Square on New Years Eve. Not mine unfortunately :(

Thread revival again, but these are too big for Daily Photo.

A couple of panoramas of Cambridge when it snowed last week. The first one is Midsummer Common.

[Fick]

And this one is Parker's Piece.

[Fick]

Roofs are fun!

(not very well stitched though :()

[el_diablo5711]

I've had a bit of a play with the photos Smeagle took (posted in Daily Photo) and came up with this.

Ooh thanks, looks good! Much better than my crappy attempt :)

In the right place as well ;)

seychelles, paradise or what?

[DarkTrojan]

Here's an old one...

[edit] hmmm that looked more impressive IRL.

This is the Medina (old Arab city) of Fes, Morocco. It's like a maze of tiny streets, 300.000 people live here

OMH this thread still exists. And there's photos in it I didn't know about. :o

Witness my totally unnecessary vertical panorama of Auckland Museum:

Thanks Fick, what a brilliantly simple bit of software to use. I had the stitchy software that came with Camedia, but it isn't half as good as this. It couldn't stick these together as I had taken them right to left instead of left to right!

http://jasmic.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/jpegs/orlando_2.jpg

Thats my first go stitching some pics I took un Epcot back at Easter.

[Fick]

It gets pretty good results as long as you remember to set the focal length correctly. And the times when it does struggle just use the manual matching up points thing to sort it out.

[Jasmic]

Where has everyone gone?

This is a pic I took a few weeks ago, but it was stuck on my laptop. I have rescued it so...

It was taken at the museum of Welsh life. In Wales.

[DarkTrojan]

Life? In Wales? :eek:
