About This shrine is one of the most important in Japan. It is quite close to our church. I'm not much of a one for Shinto Shrines... too many memories of where Shinto-inspired Emperor worship and militarism led Japan--and this was my first visit in 20 years of living nearby. But if you want to see traditional Japanese architecture, this is a good place to come. I exposed the four panorama shots for the shadows, so the highlights were a stop or two overexposed. I compressed the dynamic range to get a better balance between the extremes. This is often necessary with 360-degree panoramas (taking both with AND against the light).

Thanks, Susie. I do get plenty of practice, of course... [g] At last I begin to feel I know enough about it to begin passing on the tips and techniques I have learned. But there doesn't seem to be much interest. I guess it's a minority taste...

I say the black and white version, and I loved it. Both b&w look good in their own way, however I tend to favor b&w, since it makes the viewer focus more on geometry and composition. Jonathan.

Thank you, Bobot. Yes, the perspective is strongly exaggerated by the circular fisheye at the same time as it distorts all the straight lines... it really opens up the spaces between buildings and people. To see things as they really were you need to download FSPViewer and the image file, and look at the image with the viewer. But as you aren't a donor, you won't be able to download the larger file needed to make the best of this... so it may not be worth bothering. If you are interested, I can send you a larger file by E-mail.

Thanks again Jonathan. Try:

I don't very often covert panoramas to B&W and I always shoot originally in colour, but someone suggested I try it with this one and I liked the result. What do you think?

Dear Rob, how nice to hear from you again. I have missed your encouraging comments! If you download FSPViewer (the URL is given in the "Panorama" forum) and then use it to view the larger panoramic image, you will see the original undistorted view... a quite different experience, enabling you to "zoom in" on details. (Don't use it in full-screen mode, the images aren't large enough.) If you try it, do let me know what you think.

Mesmerizing view. Very nice indeed and yes I do imagine the difficulties with exposure goring round in full circle. My compliments.

These panorama shots are very interesting, since they give the viewer a feeling of omnipresence. Have you every tried to do it in black and white?
Jonathan.
