I visited Nezu Shrine again, as I do each year for the azaleas. About 100,000 other people had the same idea on the same day! I thought I'd try a stitched panorama shot, although it is difficult when people move during the time it takes to swing the camera round and fire off four shots. If you look carefully you will see a number of people who appear TWICE (doppelgangers, we call them). A quick scan revealed four to me; can you find more?
You sure couls fool me. I am having trouble finding the doppelgangers (that's sure an interesting word). The more I look at these panoramas of your, the more I seem to enjoy them. You are the only one I noticed that does this kind of work. MAry
Actually, Matej, there are many more doubles among the original four shots, but the software is pretty good at eliminating them, especially if they slightly overlap each other. In fact it can completely eliminate someone who only appears once! This happens mostly near the edge of one shot... I think this is because image quality deteriorates at the edges of a circular panorama, and with the large amount of overlap I use, the image quality of the corresponding "empty" area in the next shot is better. But it can appear pretty capricious, and I often find myself painting them back in. I'm so glad you are playing with FSPViewer. With the right "zoom" you can see the original scene exactly as I did.
Ah yes, he's obvious now that you've pointed him out for me :-) By the way, I just downloaded a bunch of your 360degree panorama photos to view using FSPViewer... I must say it's a totally different experience to the flat images - but you know that far better than me!
How about the man on the extreme right of this picture with a small backpack? He does appear again... thanks for looking! These stitched panoramas with lots of people in them are quite fun to do!
I give up Roger....I cannot find any or at least I cannot spot any obvious doppelgangers. It is a very busy scene, loads of interesting people, great details and colours. Best wishes....Ray
