For QuickTime VR panorama production from existing stitched
equirectangular or cube face images, this seems to be the best option
around. But I will look with interest to see what other people
suggest.

That's a setting in CubicConverter. In the Movie tab, open the
Panning Quality disclosure triangle (aka the flippy arrow thing) and
make sure both Motion and Static are set to High. The 'Normal'
setting may have been important back in the 1990s, but not any more!
Well, it might possibly help reduce jumpy panning with large movies,
but the tradeoff isn't something I'd like to make.

You probably wouldn't have been able to get a ticket to Glade by the
time the weather was known anyway - it sells out long before the
event. But you did manage to avoid an incredible amount of rain and
mud! I have a few VRs from that one here:

Hi Ayrton - just to be correct;

http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/200801/08-010E/index.html

It is html not htm :-)

Thanks Kevin and Matt, this is so much better than using Xblend with
the enfuse binaries, more controllable. I am continually amazed at
how well enfuse works!

Thanks again Kevin, I will send a donation when I have the funds.

One could use all these pixels in combination with DCRaw in the Super-pixel
mode to circumvent the Bayer matrix induced artifacts. The main disadvantage
of the super-pixel method is that you end up with an image that is only
1/4th size of the original, so with this sensor you would end up with a
6Mpixel image, but more detailed image.

Roger,

You've gone an got me interested in pole panoramas now. Just as my
wife thought I was content with my camera gear ;-)

K-Tek poles are out of my price range but the Gitzo G1568 Series 2
Carbon Fiber 4-Section Monopod you mentioned looks interesting and on
the go at $230. I guess I need an all rounder. Height of 63 inches
seems ok for the high up shots and after lugging all my camera gear
around New York City for 3 days, the thought of using a pole instead
of a tripod & NN3, it sounds like a lot less weight. Not to mention
getting over keen security off my back. First two words they are
taught during training must be "No tripods".

I have the D80 & 10.5mm (not shaved). Could mean problems with the up
and down views?

Look forward to your advice,

Andrew

I had bad experience with Walimex products, cheap Manfrotto copies, with
all old manfrotto drawbacks and none of the plus.

I've the zero nadir technique too,  with 10.5 and 8mm, with monopod and
with tripod.
Maybe it could be my Prague speech... "Unusual uses of usual fisheyes -
shoot more, stitch less -"

Have you tried turning around staying behind the camera's view as you turn the
pole so you
would not end up being in the shot?

Hello,
does anybody have information if a Tokina 10-17 Fisheye on a Canon 5d
at 12.5mm setting can go with 4 shots ??
As I understand Michel Thobys test it has sufficient overlap.

@12.5 should be the firts  FF- setting.

Thanks
Ciao
Mike

Yes 12mm corresponds to Sigma 8mm on a small sensor so you can take 4 around.
8000x4000 pixels

Today I visited the fort Copacabana here in Rio de Janeiro. It is an
almost 100 years old fortification.

as now usual for me in 3 versions : QT , Flash and Deval

The cannons were made by Krupp in Germany

here some more tests of a Nikon D300 under very low light conditions
with up to 2000 ISO



D300 ISO 2000 1/15 F5.6  monopod 4 shots Nikkor8/2.8 no noise reduction

this I will remake again in PS because  the light was  much lesser

If you keep it 60degrees twisted, you can zoom till black corners are
small and you may still shoot 4.

@ the 1 at 13 on the lens you have ± the same as a Sig8/3.5 on a 400D.
4 around is enough and you will a have a little hole in the top
Equi 4670x9340

rotate the camera 60 degrees, and place the lens on an Agnos.com Ring,
on a Bob ring or homebrew thing.
Since the plombline will pass through the diagonal of the sensor, you
will be able to zoom till you have 4 tiny black angles and still be able
to shot 4 for a spherical.
Without holes on Zenit and Nadir.

Thanks, Peter. So THAT's why I got a "not found" when I tried to
see what Ayrton's message was about... (Thanks, Ayrton!)

Looks like a great sensor for high-end DSLRs. But the cost/performance
ratio of a 1.5x factor DSLR with a circular fisheye like the new Sigma
4.5mm will probably win out for most of us. Similar numbers of pixels
and greater depth of focus in the latter case...

I just discovered that I accidently dropped a wrong Flash movie in
the  low light, high ISO inside Cannon pano....

now it is corrected

and the Flash version shows the right panorama....

Also, I suspect that 25Mp is well beyond the resolution of any fisheye lens.
If you want that many pixels worth of good sharp pano imagery, you need a
narrower lens, and lots more shots.

This is great, and also VR related :)

Yes I have moved around staying behind the pole, but that makes it
go from about 4 seconds for 4 shots to 20 seconds. As you move
around you have to realign and re-stabilize the pole.
When I use the pole lower, say around 3 to 6 feet I will usually
move around behind the pole or kneel down to keep the camera higher
above me.
I own 2 pole levels and don't use them, takes too long looking at
one for each shot. I just stand in one place, let the pole balance
itself, and turn it fast for the shots.
By standing in one place holding the pole with one hand and turning
it with the other you can keep if very staidly and centered.
Most times it only takes a few minutes to remove myself from the
photo with PhotoShop but sometimes I'm not looking behind my back to
see if I may be blocking anything, and the higher the pole the less
the problem because of the angle.

It's not my bag, but I was surprised to see these two items announced
at PMA today ...

It's a fisheye lens and matching pano head designed to get full
sperical panos with three shots on a 1.5 or 1.6 crop camera.  I've
never heard of Sunex.  Apologies if this is old news or not really useful stuff.

Hi,

EnfuseGUI seems to have some "weight problems" :-)

Thats is; For some users, if you enter a decimal value for the fusion
weights Contrast, Saturation or Exposure, the program responds with
an "Must be numeric" error.
I can't reproduce the problem on any of my PC's. For me it works
perfectly.

Now I'm just wondering if any other people out there have the same
problem...

Note: Decimal values should be entered with a period "."

Regards.

isn't that set by system's Regional and Language settings?
