360 Degree Veiw of Independence Pass

Wow... beautiful colors, and it feels sooo expansive! I love it

I clicked the unmanipulated button on and amazingly enough this bad

boy look's just like this on the 16.5 inch transparency but the rules

state that :

 

(The image should be the result of a single exposure (shutter release)

by the camera. Therefore, stitched panoramic images, multiple

exposures, or composites of more than one image are all manipulated

images for our purposes here.)

 

Here in lies the problem this camera has no shutter, The film moves

past a slit in one direction as the camera rotates in the opposite

direction It takes 3 360's on the 66" strip of 220 film. Basically it

exposes the whole roll in one continuos shot, 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 stitch it back together.

 

I think I officially broke the rules two times, But this kind of

photography has been around for more than 100 years well what do you

think manipulated unmanipulated I did some color correction but they

said that was ok.

 

Thank for looking

Here's a closer veiw of one part of the photo

I would still call it unmanipulated. I would also call it incredibly beautiful.

Please reduce the size of ALL your photo.net uploaded photographs to meet our published requirements. Pictures which are too large will not fit on most (or even any!) screens, and take most of our users far too long to download. They also slow the site down for everyone. The photo.net FAQ states:

Photos uploaded to photo.net must be in jpg format, less than 100k, and no larger than 800 pixels in the longer dimension.

 

This photo is 217k, and 3500x625 pixels!

 

Well now that's not very fair if this image is 800 pixels long than it's only 74 pixels high, this site is not very accommodating for one of the oldest and most unique forms of photography ever invented. I know that I did not have a problem scrolling over to see what the rest of the photo looked like.This is what it looks like 800 pixels long.

Its not quite the same 74 pixels high..

Great image! Obviously the standard size restrictions don't apply. You've found a location and moment that is pretty in all directions. That must be hard to do. So how on earth do you get the exposure right for a 360 degree sunset shot?

On the average, tis better to test the boundries and ask forgiveness after.

 

 

Bobby: Great stuff again. I sure would start calling the local Denver stock agencies just for a start. Thye're crying for this kind of stock. Did you get my email about the Screen?

The guidelines are just that . . . guidelines. Panoramas and square format images shot in MF or LF need and deserve more spcae. The last I heard, Brain thought that 200k was a reasonable limit.

 

This is not a direct upload froma a digital camera and shouldn't be treated like one.

Great shot ! I like the toy version attached too, but that would bearely be a stamp...:-)

I agree with Fred. You should be able to generate some income with this one!
