I wanted to do a pano from a nursing station at 8 pm, sunday night. They had only 1 new born child there at this time. People there were very helpful and interested in the wrinkle of time project. Thanks, Genet (the nurse) for your help. It simply would have been nice to have a child in the wrinkle project that was born on this very day/night.
And this is what happened:
I was at the new born station at 7.30, nobody was there. In the moment we wanted to shoot our pano, a child was to be born and (of course) nobody had time for me and the project. There were 15 minutes left to change setting, looking for a new location, get there and (heavily breathing) doing the pano. It is from the RESIDENZ, built 1720 - 1744, a huge building planned by Baumeister (Architect) Balthasar Neumann and did several famous buildings.
Technical info:
I used a mpegCam 1A Hitachi gave me for testing it with QuickTime VR. Folks, this thing is quite good! (it holds about 200 full panos with 16 images each, and does movies, too). The pictures I stitched did not see PhotoShop in any way, i.e. they are as they came out of the mpegCam.
I used a Gitzo tripod, a Manfrotto tilt/swivel head and my good old Kaidan L-bracket.
To stitch the 16 images I used the Apple QuickTime VR Studio 1.0. Conversion from v 2.0 to v 1.0 was made thru Jon Summer's ConVRter.
Rabbett, this is a great project and makes me very hopeful that the millenium project I suggested on the VR issues list some months ago actually will work.
