Thank you Ken, I do so enjoy your negative views on just about everything.

This has been discussed before, but just to be clear let me say it again.

Many contests charge for entry, and often a lot more than this. The fees charged
for entry go mostly towards the costs of running the contest. The organizers do
not aim to make a lot of money, they hope to cover costs and some of their time.

I am not one of the organizers, I just agreed to help set up the new VR/360
category and publicize this within the VR community. I am doing this because I
think it is good publicity for VR panoramas and a way for people working in that
area to earn some public recognition. I am not being paid monetarily or in any
other way.

The other volunteers in this effort are the judges, respected members of this
community -  Scott Highton, Keith Martin, Aaron Spence, Matthias Taugwalder, and
Pat Swovelin. They are not being compensated for their time either, plus they
are disqualified from entering.

Honestly, I think the world doesn't need that. And even if one makes a buck with
it, it wouldn't make me want to spend a single thought on how I could compete.

Apologies if I go off-topic.

But as far as I see it, these social networks are ONLY good for business
relations. Personal information, and staying in touch with REAL friends - well,
there is no shortcut to the personal time together. If there is a person from my
high school, that I lost contact with, then there's no reason to become internet
buddies with them right now. There are other old friends that I kept in contact
with very well, and transferring these relationships into the virtual space
would in fact cancel out valuable face-to-face interaction that I value.

Also there is the looming privacy concern. AFAIK every online database that is
licensed in the  US has to open its information to government agencies upon
request. That's a simple fact. Coming from East Germany, I can remember the
"Stasi", and I know they would have just loved to such an easy way of
maintaining a database of all citizens. Call me paranoid, but what's on the
internet is and stays on the internet, and if somebody really wants to get
access to it, they will. So, as long as facebook or other personal Online IDs
are voluntary, I prefer to opt out and keep my personal life for myself.

That's why I think using these networks for business opportunities is the only
proper way to use them.

No, but I am in touch with a great many friends through Twitter,
almost all of whom I would otherwise lose touch with because they're
simply too far away - a different city, a different country, a
different hemisphere. Twitter provides a casual, face-to-face-level
of communication that's like chatting as you pass in a hall, the
street, the park, the pub...

I also use it to find and share information and developments in and
around publishing (one of my main teaching areas), law, photography,
web and app development, and other random things, and also to get in
touch with people with similar interests. It ISN'T a replacement for
any real-world form of communication. It is a NEW form of
communication that sits comfortably and productively alongside other
things. It is also fine for anyone to ignore it, of course. Nobody
has to use it, and nobody should feel pressured into trying it if
they don't want to.

I'm @thatkeith on Twitter BTW, if anyone's interested. :-)

Thanks for the reminder Don!
Yes, everyone, please DO consider entering your work.

Don has put a lot of time and effort into expanding this to include
the 360/VR category, so it would be very good to show that this is a
serious and active area of photography.

You can also try to level it by hand:
http://www.ptgui.com/man/straighten.html

If you have horizon in the image it might be better to use horizontal
control points. To understand horizontal and vertical control points read
http://wiki.panotools.org/Horizontal_control_points
http://wiki.panotools.org/Vertical_control_points
and eventually:

This method is pretty foolproof.  The only reason why it would fail is that you
haven't assigned the vertical line control points correctly.  There's a link to
a video in the tutorial which should clarify this.  Try levelling your stitched
panorama.

If you still cannot make it work, upload your project file somewhere so that we
can check it.

BTW, since you know the pitch of the images is -20, it will do no harm to
manually insert these values on the Image Parameters tab (in Advanced mode). 
The panorama should then be aproximately level after re-optimizing.

Hi all, was a football match that had someting extra.

Probably a lot of you have tried the Oloneo demos
http://www.oloneo.com/ a newish Raw/Hdr sofware.
In earlier versions I tried it wasnt very stable with 5DMkII raws but it has
interesting features
like its Relighting module. Say you have four exposures in a room -- all the
same exposure but with different lighting. Fluoros on/off, tungsten on/off,
windows curtained or not. Load all these into Oloneo and it works out the color
and location of the light sources and you can tweak the lights individually
(color and intensity) in the composite. I tried with a building interior with a
computer lighting panel for diffent "moods" and it was remarkable sometimes how
you had discreet controls of the lights in the software.

But perhaps the most interesting thing was the software interface itself where
you can watch your tweaks of the lights in realtime. Maybe the panorama viewer
authors might be able to incorporate this idea I thought. eg. if you had 3
panoramas of the same scene and the lighting animates realistically from one
type to another, so you feel individual lights are turning on or off, or
changing color or you have controls in the pano to do it.

Most exciting demo I've seen in a long time when it first came out, too bad it
requires the exposure to be the same, not sure why. And that requirement and
Oloneo's lack of response to that question made me lose interest quite quickly.

With bracketing, focus stacking, stitching and now "relighting" it seems like it
could take a hundred shutter clicks to make a low resolution 360 :)

Peter, you should check out KRPano if you want to do something like this, it's
been possible for quite some time. Here's an example I did a couple of years
ago. It's a bit rough and requires a fairly powerful computer, but it works.

One of these days I may use the even newer technology in KrPano to make it even
better and a bit less resource intensive,

Regards,

Robert

This seems to be a fascinating software tool. I haven't heard about the Oloneo
before ... thnx for sharing.

yeah, it's really neat. I just did a test series on ghost reduction, and Oloneo
came out surprisingly close to Photoshop CS5. I tried the relighting, and it's
stunning at first, but sort of non-tolreable that it only accepts single
exposures. This should really be happening with HDRs - even their example source
images are clipped on the actual light source. Turns out, you can also rebuild
this sort of effect in Photoshop by isolating individual light contributions
with Difference and Exclusion blending modes.

Oh, and yes, I would love to real blended pano layers in krpano. I'm sure Aldo
could rebuild an ADR plugin for us then, his Auto-Levels is are a great start.

well it shows they might be possible. Hasbro have started selling a binocular
viewer that clips onto an Iphone4 in Target stores in the US.
So you can look at 3d photos and movies that way. But also look around in stereo
360 with the accelerometers -- of CG sharks I think in this app .. but it could
be a stereo panorama surely.

and now easy to make quickly with the GoPro 3d
http://gopro.com/news/

this looks like it will do stereo panoramas with a VFOV of about 135 degrees (if
the cameras are vertical) -- or swap the builtin lens for a wider fisheye M12
lens for 180VFOV  -- you can see the fisheye stereo effect here

It looks like at least 1/1000th in some shots. So you could stick this on a fast
rotator - say 4 seconds -- and still get sharp stereo panoramas in a variety of
outdoor situations. Rolling shutter might be an issue and the dynamic range is
so-so but the detail is very good. And other miniature fisheyes -- thinks
Fujinon -- might look significantly sharper.

Great Find Peter,

Question, what determines the 3d quality of the clips?

Some of them REALLY pop, and others fall a little flat literally.

Stereo separation I imagine. Checking the website. I really don't understand
the prices.. are they missing zeros?

"The RE-35 cartridge replaces the film in your classic analog 35-mm camera."
gosh ... when did I see this first? 10 years ago? More?? Last time it was little
more than vapor-ware, which was a pity, and never really took off. With less and
less of the old analog cameras being sold I don't have high hopes for it's
success this time round either. Time will tell.

You know, this may be a joke, but technically, it becomes more and more
possible each day.  There exist today flexible electronics in various
forms -- displays mostly -- and with smaller and smaller circuits being
developed -- this could happen.  Maybe not exactly like this but
similar to this that actually could convert your old film camera
to a real digital camera.

I myself would like that.  No batteries except in the cartridge.  No
"art filters" or video and all the other crap DSLR's foist on you.

Could happen....

I have seen this topic has come up a few times in the past but I have not
been able to find an answer that solves it... Basically can you do to
convert a 17GB or bigger Equirectangular PSB to cube faces for a program
like KRPanos 'make multi resolution' to use to create a final pano.

Basically when I try to convert this PSB to tiff cube faces (Using KRPano's
tools) they are too big - they hit the 4GB mark and are unreadable. If I try
to convert to JPEG cube faces it just crashes on the second tile.

Cubic Converter does not seem to accept PSBs, so that is out the window...

I am using a 27" iMac with quad cores, 16GB Ram and an external raid system.
So power should not be the problem - more the software.

Any ideas?!

Here's the thread on KR Pano's forum:

Many thanks,

There was a serious attempt at this type of 35mm camera converter a few
years ago (about 2002 of I recall correctly) from a company called
"Silicon Film". It was a rigid sensor and memory built into the
cannister. The sensor was 1Mp and had a crop factor of something like
3x. Later versions were proposed with 4Mp capture, full-frame.

The company went bankrupt.

Rob

This is over a decade old idea. I remember the prototype when visiting Photokina
in 2000. Nothing had happened since then. But I would like to use my oldie
nikons F3 and F5 with digital films... but only for fun, not serious work.
