I can't help the copyright notice--Usefilm assumes you create the pictures you upload! This is of course by Gildas himself, and is his copyright. I disclaim any such "rights." Maybe I'll put up a photo of the camera... you've probably never seen anything like it!

OK Roger, i'll give Gildas a +7 for this amazing Photo. I hope your photos turn out like this for you. I'll give you a +1 for not knowing that this is actually in Switzerland, near Schaffhausen and is called the Rheinfall. I was there the other week. OK, so it's only a few hundred metres to the border... but it's Switzerland, none the less :)
Best wishes and i'll forgive you.
Greetings from Switzerland :-) Neil

Apologizes well accepted Roger, certainly if you break out with a magnificent peace of artwork as this is. An incredible sight of a spectacular place. Grand panorama and masterly completed. Thank you for showing it, congratulations. Rob.

Hi it's me again! Just checked...
The "Rheinfall" is the biggest waterfall in Europe. Over 150m wide and a height of around 23m. An average of 700 cubic metres water go over these falls each second! And where is it? Yes, Roger....in Switzerland :-)
Just joking with you. Cheers neil

I love this Roger, although it makes me feel a little giddy. It would be amazing printed to poster size along a wall!!!!

John, being shot on a negative 55 x 180mm, it can easily withstand enlargement up to poster size. The problem is scanning such negatives and saving the very big files that result.

Neil, thanks for the correction, which I have now incoporated into my "about" notes. I see lots of good stuff in your portfolio and will be back for a longer look when my current period of extreme busy-ness ends, hopefully in a few weeks.

No problem Roger, i really like your work too. On this one there is almost something biblical about it, almost Moses pasrting the waters! I have stood there and it really is amazing. It makes you dizzy and can be quite scary. Best wishes and catch you later. Take it easy, Neil

there is no information about cost or sales at the website - can you shed any light on that part of this very interesting camera.

Well, I got a reconditioned/upgraded model that someone had traded in. That cost me 1,300 Euros plus a wingeing 178 Euros for DHL delivery to Japan. That doesn't include the 28mm/F2.8 Nikon lens, which set me back about US$90, but does include an industrial grade remote control--almost essential unless you use the time-delay so as not to appear in your own panoramas [grin]. You'd have to ask Gildas about the price of a new one. The one described at the site is not as simple and convenient to use as his latest version (to which mine was upgraded). It is quite intuitive to operate and the settings/controls are almost completely self-explanatory. Very nicely made and quite rugged and not as heavy/awkward-to-use as I had expected.

Incredible shot - so surreal in that sense that the lense has made it look as the water gonna reach the bridge and take the people there with it down the river. Dramatic and interesting shot!

Thank you, Ho. I don't use this camera much these days, prefering to stitch multiple photos into an immersive (all-round) panorama using special software, but this image shows what can be done with an "old fashioned" rotary film camera! Pretty impressive, though I do say it myself...

Hi Roger, actaully I would like to buy one set of this camera. As you know, compare with stitiched photos, Voyageur type is quite suitable on shooting those scene with moving object within. It could freeze the moment and preventing create "ghost" by overlapping 1 object with different gesture.
Even so, personally I love to create panoramic by stitiching photos. I can gain more fun from it.

Yes, my feelings exactly. Of course scanning a negative 18 x 6cm long is not always the easiest thing to do . Like you, I now enjoy stitching. The software makes it much easier than it used to be. I use PTgui, what to you use these days?

Haha, your reply is so quick. I am using Realviz Stiticher. It's quite easy to use. If you even try it , I'll highly recommend you download the demo program from www.realviz.com. I used it several years ago. It's good.
