Description well i've been working on this for a while now, and i believe it is somewhat decent, although i might repost one later if i can touch it up a little.

while this may look like a birds eye view of the ground with a fish eye lens, it's not. i started off with a 360 degree panorama and then just lowered the camera and kept going around till i was taking pictures of the legs of my tripod. there's about 75 seperate pictures in here total. after stitching some things together i made it rap around till both ends met.

this is me standing in the center of campus here at ferris state university. you can't really tell but the legs of my tripod are in the center of the picture.

the center looks sorta off becouse of the way i was shooting strait down at the ground. it's a lot like trying to acurately display a flat map of earth; something is going to be distorted. this was as good as i could get it, although i may go at it some more later. i couldn't really think of anything to do with the background so i just put a white border to square it up. i wish you could see more detail, but i think it's better to see the whole peice than the crazy detail.


sony dsc s85 and lots of stuff in photoshop.

Oh man, they still have that image up? I put it up there about three years ago or so.

Anyway, that's cool that it's still up. And thanks for the comments and fave

Can you point some links to me to see in practice/ drawing steps how you change the angle please ?

I cannot understand, how you look like a spot in the circle while you have low angle than your height or equal of.

May I also ask what these central 2 poles are please ?

electricjonny In reply to LemnosExplorer [2007-11-02 19:59:09 +0000 UTC]

This is the technique I used, [link]

The poles are two lamp posts, they got spread out since the earth panoramic sort of does that with these

I think I will buy a seitz. What do you use please ?

I've seen a few images like this, made the same way, but man this was a ton of work. But I agree, it makes a pretty unique image.

Ops is kind of kicking my butt. I read the book, and it's like, "Cool! This makes sense! It might even be kind of interesting" And then Fred lectures, and it's like, "Ummm......"

I go to Ferris, too...I'm another TDMP kid...I work in Media Supply, actually, so if you're still around, you might see me.

I think this is pretty awesome! It's not something you'd learn to do in Digital Imaging with Connie.

Yeah, Connie doesn't know a whole lot about photography/Photoshop But she's nice, as long as you're on her good side

I think that's 3 people other than me that I've found on dA that are in the TDMP program

vonrumpfkat In reply to electricjonny [2007-02-27 03:08:03 +0000 UTC]

Heh. I had Connie for 3 classes last semester - they were all on the same day, in the same room. Not something I recommend, especially considering that she has all of her projects, no matter what class, due on the same day.

She's a nice lady and all, but man! That was too much Connie!

electricjonny In reply to vonrumpfkat [2007-02-27 03:42:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I totally understand that. She's nice, but not the best professor. And she doesn't really know how to teach. She just repeats out of a book. But whatever. Fred and Steve are cool. Clayton is kinda cool, but can get really pissed at people sometimes.

I'm pretty nerdy, so I totally loved Fred's classes

whooooaaa awesome!
oooonly thing I'd have to say is that it's a shame that it got kind of blurry (as I assume that was the processing, not the photography)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

electricjonny In reply to Sagacious [2006-06-19 04:22:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, some of that was due to the strange warping I did to each picture. And there's a couple areas that were blurry because the camera auto focused on the wrong part, but all in all, it turned out better than I had thought it would. The actual full view has a lot more detail, but the size of the full view image is around 700 megs. I don't even know if people's browsers would be able to handle an image that big

Thanks for the comments

i can imagine. i wouldn't even know where to start. did you use a special tripod?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

electricjonny In reply to areml [2004-11-03 08:45:37 +0000 UTC]

i did this with a normal tripod. i wasn't quite sure how this was going to work or what it would look like, but i thought it would be cool to do a panoramic, but then go up and down as well as left to right. i stood in the center and took about 75 pictures, then stitched it all together and turned it into a circle in photoshop.

areml In reply to electricjonny [2004-11-03 08:47:44 +0000 UTC]

so did you use any software help you stitch the pictures together? where they digital pics?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

electricjonny In reply to areml [2004-11-03 08:52:26 +0000 UTC]

i shot them all with a digital camera (only because film is expensive and a pain to scan). i only used photoshop for the stitching. the shots along the horizon were fairly simple to stitch together, but as i was stitching the ones lower to the ground (towords the center) i had to transform each image a fair bit to get them to line up right. and even then the center looked really warped. it took a lot of little adjustments to get some things to line up right.

electricjonny In reply to areml [2004-11-03 08:59:18 +0000 UTC]

hmm, hard to say. i worked on it for about 5 days for about 2-3 hours a day, then came back to it later to sort of polish it up. probebly about 20 hours or so.
