About This is a panorama that covers the whole 360 degrees--the left and right-hand ends join together seamlessly. You can just see me trying to hide behind the trees at the end of the path. The negative (with overlap) is 22cm long!

Haha, these are like the 'Where's Wally' cartoons except they are 'Where's Roger' ;-)

Have you managed to get a site where you can use the javascript viewer for these, I'd be very interested to see that.


Enjoy    {K:16125} 7/23/2004
Wow pretty pretty....what fun

Hi Roger, This is what I like most; the uncommon camera, creating excellent images... Very cool. Nice touch of placing yourself (partially) in view. It adds a very spontaneous feel to this shot. Would it be possible to capture yourself twice (using either the overlap or by walking past the camera? Would be fun to experiment with...

Cheers,

Hugo

One of your very best, Roger!!
This is truly beautiful!!
I rarely use 'my favourites', but this is going straight in!!
Best regards, Chris

Hugo, capturing yourself twice is a sort of cliche with rotary cameras and would soon pall... but I AM tempted to establish a Hitchcock tradition, with me always in there somewhere. (It's quite hard NOT to be, of course!)


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 7/24/2004
Keith, I'm experimenting with this over the weekend. When I can get it working it will be at www.adex-japan.com/roger/

There are a lot of parameters to juggle with.

Be prepared for a longish download, as I want to use a large image with lots of detail for the first one. Later I'll offer two versions of each panorama--one smaller and highly compressed and the other for people with broadband connections.


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 7/24/2004
Debra, if you think this is fun, visit my test site at www.adex-japan.com/roger/

If you have Java enabled you'll see a high-res version of this image (4000 pixels wide by 1,000 high) that you can scroll LR and UD with your cursor keys, and zoom in and out using the plus and minus keys.


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 7/24/2004
Hugo, visit www.adex-japan.com/roger to see this in VR mode (you'll need JAVA enabled).

Use cursor keys and +/- for scrolling and zooming. Let me know what you think...

I've suggested Altaf add this capability in a Forum "question."


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 7/24/2004
Chris, visit www.adex-japan.com/roger with Java enabled and you'll see this same picture in high resolution in VR mode. Use cursor keys and +/- to scroll and zoom. Let me know what you think. (Easier than viewing stereo shots cross eyed, I can assure you...)


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 7/24/2004
One word, Roger: FANTASTIC!!
I had no problem viewing this one in glorious VR. It's so much better seeing the whole scene (including your good self :>)) that much bigger!!
Great stuff.
Best regards, Chris


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 7/24/2004
Chris, since it could be enabled at Usefilm with very little extra work and no penalties for those who don't like panoramas, perhaps you might like to support my suggestion that this option should be made available here? I made it in the "Suggestions" forum.

How do you scan such a large negative? This is such a remarkable photo ... extremely sharp focus and wonderful composition.


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 7/24/2004
George, I use an ordinary Epson flatbed scanner with a transparency adaptor. It will scan only up to 6 x 9cm negs, so I do my 6 x 22cm negs in three "bites" and then put them together in PaintShop Pro. The 6 x 22cm is actually longer than needed for 360 degrees, so I cut it back to 18cm after I've joined them. Glad you liked it! A new Epson scanner is coming out any day now that will scan up to 6 x 22cm negs, so I'll be looking into that!
