More fantastic pictures, thank you!

Ok. So looking down at the end of the dock and not seeing any camera equipment or feet or anything there, simply freaks me out!

There weren't any people in the shot, it was a little before 8am when I took this.
The only people are the couple in the garden at the Bay Point watching me, wondering what the heck I'm doing with my camera rig. |

List away! I'm always looking for new places to shoot. Since I live close to Meredith, you'll notice I take a lot of shots there (sorry, it's close and it's beautiful!)

How'd he DO that?
Beautiful shot on a beautiful day. Let me see one from an airplane! (Just kidding). Any clues as to what equipment you use to do that?
(Actually, there is a guy that does them from a helicopter- I have NO idea how! His view of Las Vegas is here.) |

Weirs Beach Docks - already have a few, just need to finish stitching them together
Bike Week would be cool - shot there last year, but I will be shooting there again this year It would require a boat but The Bear Island Mail Dock would be sweet - if someone wants to take me on a boat ride.. The very middle of the broads might be neat - again, got a boat? The top of the hill at "Akwa Vista" or whatever they call it now. - since that's a big company, I'd rather they pay me to shoot it, than do a freebie, after all, I am trying to make a living, and I can't send pictures to the credit card companies (unless they're green and have pictures of presidents on them) Kirk |

Moss...
...I have a boat and a place on Bear.
I can take you there by boat in July. I think that would be a great spot.

How 'bout from Long Island Bridge
Have you done anything from the Long Island Bridge....Standing atop of it......It must be a great shot......Of course....I am biased...being from Dow.
Your views/photos are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Any one know a way of making it a screen saver....while keeping the picture rotating? Thank you. eillac@dow |

A Quick Question Moss
If I were to pay you to do that on the end of my dock, is there anyway to transfer it to one of those digital picture frames.
That would be the best gift in the world for my dad. Let me know. I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to technology. Thanks.

If the picture frame can play a video file (quicktime, mpeg, avi) then we can capture the pano rotating and make it into a video file.
Some images look great "unwrapped" (since it's a full 360 degree sphere, there is distortion, but nature shots work best, or if all the content is along the center horizontal plane) Here's Northport, Maine http://www.mosscreekmedia.com/wide.jpg (I have this one printed 32" wide, matted with a 2" border in a black frame, hanging in my house, it's quite spectacular!) Images can also be converted into "Tiny Planets" Here's Portsmouth on Ceres St by the tugs http://mosscreekmedia.com/tugs.jpg And Market Square in Portsmouth http://www.mosscreekmedia.com/port2.jpg |

There are several different techniques, but the general concept is that you take a series of images and then run them through a processing tool. The shots are usually done with a fisheye lens.
You have to find the "nodal point" of your lens, which is basically the optic center of the lens. There are special tripod mounts which have an offset so that when you pan/tilt the camera you are keeping the nodal point in one place. Everyone has their own favorites, but I tend to like the mounting equipment from Really Right Stuff: http://reallyrightstuff.com/pano/04.html The processing software tool (depending on which on you use) will find the overlaps or common points between the images and create a "stitched" image which is the result of grouping all the individual shots into one big image. Most of the processing software these days is pretty powerful. If you shoot your images in order, the software can often find all the overlaps "automagically" and output the final image in about 5 minutes. Autostitch is a good example: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html Once you have this big image, you need some sort of viewer to give you the ability to "move" around it. Again, there are a few different options, but most people go for the krpano viewer: http://krpano.com/ If you google for "panoramic photography" you can find a lot of how-to's and information. You can do basic 180/270/360 degree left-to-right panoramics with a basic digicam and tripod setup. The nodal point stuff becomes more important as you work closer to the camera. To stand on the shoreline and shoot across a bay, for example, just using the standard mounting screw for your camera and a simple panoramic processor will yield very good results.
