Dear Roger,

Looking at the webstats over the last few days it seems I seriously
underestimated the willingness of people to download panofiles of over 10MB. I
expected only a handful would, but although not huge by any standard, the
numbers really surprised me.
This made me reconsider my plans, I think maybe I should make a special 'branch'
on my website for huge panos for those who have the bandwidth and suitable
hardware.
I'll take some time though, because I'll need to move all QuickTime and
Webkit/CSS3 versions over to Amazon S3, I simply don't have the room for both on
my own website.

Well, better get to it then : )

Thanks for having a look and your kind words Roger!

Kind regards,

Erik Leeman

The due date of the lens has now been pushed out to March 2011 so I guess we'll
be seeing it in May :(

Hi Texas Dave

all of your concerns are valid and  also the rule in Germany. Unfortunately you
see these  behaviors  still quite often on small construction sites and in small
companies, where the safety  awareness is still not on the required level.
And yes  a panorama is the ideal media to see ALL of these deficiencies and it
is easy to spot and point to them.

For Jürgen: this could be a new business model  selling  panos for improving the
safety on small  construction sites.

Using 2 flashes is a good idea.
I´ll have to think about this too, maybee 2 flashes on a pole app. 50cm
below the camera in vertical position.
so you can tilt the flash(es) to illuminate the important object or all
around like yours.
Not so easy to mount them onto the pole though.

   Betreff: [PanoToolsNG] Re: Low light shot with flash





   Here's a new test shot. This was done with a Canon 5D-II, ISO/400, two
Canon 430EXII flash units (one on each side of the camera) a Nikon 10.5mm
lens @ f/2.8, up on a 14 foot pole.
   There's still dust showing up in front of the lens, next step is to make
up a rubber lens hood and give it a test.
   These flash units where set to full flash for this test which will also
show more dust.
   When the pano opens you will see two shadows from the small tree, In the
opposite direction you will see the two flash reflections the car's window.

Of course you could be shooting yourself in the foot.

Small construction sites (or any others for that matter) may then be
reluctant to let people on their site to take photos in future.

Cheers,
Darren.

This may not be a very objective test.
As you didn't have an alternative model to view, everyone who wanted to

I only looked at one of them.

we're now using krpano on the ipad version of 360cities (we got rid of the
homebrew viewer that we launched 2 weeks ago). check it out. it's nice and
smooth. also with a sort of "fullscreen" functionality. we also have it
working on the home page. still it doesn't work on some of the other pages
(profile pages etc.) but we'll get to those eventually.

Yep, you are all right and when I thought of climbing up there I checked for
possible restrictions and when I saw these guys even not wearing hardhats I was
sure they wouldn't cuase me trouble :)

Regarding the new business I am sure one would make a LOT more money if he
approaches these companies for NOT publishing such images. ^^

I was thinking the same thing. The business model might be best if it
was "Not to Publish".

I believe that the safety rules are much more strickt in EU than in US. My
younger brother went to US to work in a construction company, that was 15 years
ago. He was 18 years old and he didn't need to work for a money but for the
experience. He was very dissapointed with the safety and working conditions in
US in general. Even he had not much experience he worked on a hi altitude and on
-20°C. For him the experinece was as coming from the 1st World to 4th World. He
was in Brazil later and working there was much more safer.
I have been following the construction work in several places and documenting it
with VRs. I got a permition only when I agreed to wear a helmet, but the use of
helmets was not always strict as it was not always needed...he is the set of
VRs: http://www.burger.si/DOGODKI/2009_MesarskiMost/seznam.html.

Hello Jürgen,

I fully agree with Dave about the safety issues, I had the same thoughts
after the first view of this very nice panorama.
I don't think there is a lot of difference about safety regulations between
The Netherlands and Germany so I guess it must be an attitude issue of the
local builders ....

Erik thanks for sharing your fine panos of this beautiful place.
Downloading the large panos (I looked all of them) was not an issue for me,
after all you gave a clear warning that the panos are huge.

Very nice, Erik.  I appreciate the natural rendering of the colours and the lack

20 seconds, so not a problem.

Sig/canon (http://www.gletscherbruch.de/foto/test/fisheye/fish.html) is a

MY Tokina @15mm is worse :-)

Hi folks.

Have any of you produced 360`s with 5Dmk2 and Canon 14mm f2.8 lens. I`d like to
check out the quality of the combination.

I never had aSigma 15mm but I have this test comparing the Tokina and the Canon
at 15mm.

Compared with a Nikkor 10.5mm my Sigma 15mm has a different kind of flare
behavior -- ie. a general veiling haze compared to the more compact (and often
more retouchable) flare artefacts of the Nikkor. The Nikkor is much sharper wide
open but stopped down they have the same sort of sharpness I would say. The
Nikkor shaved has 200 degrees of coverage on full frame - which has its
particular uses.

Thanks for the feedback John!

To make room on my webserver I moved all my QuickTimeVR/DevalVR panos over to
Amazon S3, and if I didn't make any stupid mistakes they should all still work
like they used to : )

So now I can add some more of those biggies, and I started by adding a view of
Trosky castle from a field nearby to the Bohemian Paradise test page.

I also re-uploaded the large version of a pano from Plymouth that I had to take
down earlier because of insufficient storage space.
For those who haven't seen it yet: it's a PanoToolsNG parade on its way to the
aquarium during our get-together in August. There's some pretty well-known
panoheads and panohats amongst them ; )

<http://www.erikleeman.com/HTM/DirectFullscreen-english-Plymouth.htm>

Both of these panos are about 10MB in size (you've been warned!).

I guess these might also be a useful demonstration of the qualities of a Sigma
15mm Fisheye on a Canon 5D, as discussed in another thread.

Cheers!

I have just released a 64 bit version of FSPViewer. It works exactly as
the 32 bit version but it can address more memory and it is faster.

KNOWN PROBLEM: some people have reported that when going full-screen the
screen becomes black. This only happens on some computers and often it
can be solved by pressing a few times the "F" key to toggle full-screen
mode.

http://www.fsoft.it/panorama/FSPViewer.htm

The program is the same as the one that somebody downloaded for testing:
no need to download it again.
Many thanks to all the testers who helped me with the program.

Damn Erik, a lot of Wim's..
and I'm not sure about Torsten/me at the Kiosk site, is it real :-) ???????

I get 100% black output images from nona whenever I use EXR files as input
images. Am not sure if this is related.

Well, after all, Germany IS the country that brought us the best "safety"
training video EVER!  I present to you Staplerfahrer Klaus, Der erste Arbeitstag
(Forklift Driver Klaus, First Day on the Job): 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVssz2VMJVM  If you have ever had to sit through
some gruesome training video or driver education shock film, you will appreciate
this.  Warning: very graphic, but obviously fake special effects.  As I
understand it, they even managed to get the voice actor used in many real safety
videos in Germany, lending an ever better air of verisimilitude.  Enjoy!

Thanks Fulvio. Great Viewer and even faster and smother in 64 bit. ;o)

For everyday users here is a litle handy trick Jost told me.

"By the way in Windows it's handy to have quick access to your viewer
  applications:
Open explorer and browse to
  Vista:
     C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
  XP:
     C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\SendTo
  Right click in this folder and choose New -> Shortcut
  Then browse to the viewer application (eg FSPViewer.exe)
  Now you can quickly open any file in FSPViewer by right-clicking on the
  file name and choosing Send To -> FSPViewer
  Joost "


Windows 7 users just type: shell:sendto
and add a shortcut for FSPViewer

I have just released a 64 bit version of FSPViewer. It works exactly as
the 32 bit version but it can address more memory and it is faster.

KNOWN PROBLEM: some people have reported that when going full-screen the
screen becomes black. This only happens on some computers and often it
can be solved by pressing a few times the "F" key to toggle full-screen
mode.

The program is the same as the one that somebody downloaded for testing:
no need to download it again.
Many thanks to all the testers who helped me with the program.

Good idea and a lot of enthusiasm. Realy great team work.
  I started with flash painting when I was documenting karst caves, that was in a
mid 90-ies. I used the master and slave flash combos. Some subterranean caverns
were huge and flashes were not powerfull enought to enlighten the entire space
so I continued with the light painting "torch" method and a number of
assistants.  I use 1000 Lumens torch now which is usefull even with work in a
smaller caves. Here is an example of one of the smaller
caves: http://www.burger.si/Jame/LogaskaJama/seznam.html and a one huge
cavern: http://www.burger.si/Jame/PlaninskaJama/07.html. In the last example the
air was extremely humid, almost foggy, but it was a study of documenting in
extreme light condition. That was almost two years ago. I can now enlighten
almost every subterranean cavern. Right now I am starting most probaby one of
mine the most dangerous subterranean Vr projects - about 600 m below the Earth's
surface and with the oxigen mask as the area will be with the hi concentration
of the methane.

Kind regards!

Bostjan
