gordon_buck 0 Posted October 9, 2002 The shame is that thumbnails don't attract attention, much less do justice to panoramas. I hope that others will check out this excellent image. Link to comment
patrick_michel_dagenais 0 Posted October 10, 2002 Terrific Picture! My only peeve though is that it's too panoramic actulally. The way it's shot you get too many sections of the intersection, I think the shot would have stood better by cutting it in half, say, after the building on the corner. The people have terrific positions and it gives character to the scene. Anyway, lovely shot. Link to comment
peterkonzuk 0 Posted October 10, 2002 Just came back from a mall where some of the stores had their xmas displays out.. and now this!! But really, excellent image/scene.. can only imagine what it must look like on 220 film.. well exposed, you must have fired a few tests at different levels of dusk to get one this well balanced, kudos and happy holidays (I guess?)..

fred_j._lord 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Bobby: It has an almost Dickensian feel to it. The grey day is offset by the warmth of the Christmas lighting and the light from the shops and homes. How long a strip does it make and is it hard to get a scan made of such a strip? Link to comment
bobby douglas 0 Posted October 11, 2002 It takes 3 360's on the 66" strip of 220 film. Basically it exposes the whole roll in one continuos shot but a single rotation is 16.5" long. This makes scanning a problem, I have a drum scanner but it's not big enough, So I use a flat bed and do the best I can with it. I have to scan one 360 in 3 6" sections then put it together.

akbar 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Great shot. The computer screen doesn't do justice to this image - either too small or gets lost in the scrolling. I love the cold blue feel to it - which is broken by the warmer lights. The christmas ornaments all along the border adds a nice touch. Link to comment
rohit___perpetual_chonking 0 Posted October 12, 2002 When I first saw it in the critique request I thought you have merged 3-4 photos in PS. My only nit is that all the people appear to be posing for the photo. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted October 12, 2002 unsure of the decoration/lights running along the top of the photo.. can't decide if it ties the picture together or adds clutter. Link to comment
dave foster 0 Posted November 1, 2002 I think this has to be one of my favorites here @ photo.net. I has an unexplainable romance for me. It reminds me of home. SEVENS Link to comment
mstrada 0 Posted November 7, 2002 I very much like the string of lights that runs across the whole photo. Rarely can such continuity be shown in a panoramic -- let alone a 360 degree panoramic. This is a cool shot. I also like all the people staring at you from each corner. Some of them look like they are about to beat you up, though. Link to comment
bobby douglas 0 Posted November 7, 2002 That's Funny Because I am Three of them, I'm in the same shot 3 times with no Photoshop manipulation, This is only possible with a 360 camera. Link to comment
Brad Bradley 0 Posted November 10, 2002 Bobby, Your a pisser with this 360 Camera. George Town is or was a lot of fun. Ever take the jeep trail over to Berthod? Anyway, Nice work again. Brad Link to comment
sphoto 0 Posted November 13, 2002 This is just amazing what youve done here, really really nice work! How did you get the cars to get out of the way though??? Link to comment
bobby douglas 0 Posted November 13, 2002 Stephen There's Not much traffic in George Town, Especially New Years Day but I did have to wait until some car's cleared out and then you just gotta go for it and hope for the best, So I got one full rotation with no car's as the camera takes 3 full 360's in one shot.

robert_tilden1 0 Posted January 2, 2003 Which are you? The all black clothes or the guy in light blue jeans? Talk about cloning. What are the chances of having this pair on 3 of 4 corners? Link to comment

bobby douglas 0 Posted February 5, 2003 You can send me a money order $1200.00 to 1222 Pearl St. Denver, Colorado 80203 But I gota warn ya she's real temperamental this baby takes a few strategically placed pieces of duct tape after loading the film back in to the camera to operate properly.
