I love your stitched panorama--and appreciate your encouraging comment. This is how I started making panoramas... and it was the fuss and bother of stitching that made me want to get a rotary camera! If you'd like to correspond, you can reach me as roger atmark adex hyphen japan dot com. You can see most of my present Voyageur panoramas at http://rangefinderforum.com in the "galleries" section (no registration required). Originally 1200 pixels wide, reduced to 1,000 for display, they can be viewed at full size by clicking on the image. (There are a couple of TX-1 panoramas not shown here at Usefilm in there too...)

I like this pano, Roger. I've been doing some but by manually stitching a series of 3-5 images and, of course, they are not quite as nice as this and are a bit time consuming ... and as pointed out tend not to draw the interest. But there are a few amongst us who do find them worth viewing. I leave one of my own favorites. Mister Ken

These 360s in the series are really interesting, Roger. There is a lot to see in each one.

Thanks, Patrick. I was getting very discouraged by general lack of interest in my panoramas, and your comment is a great encouragement!

I think it's a real shame about the lack of interest, Roger ~ people don't know what they're missing!!
I hope that won't stop you loading up on UF altogether!!
Best regards, Chris

Why thank you kindly sir, he said. Actually, Chris, it's a full 360-degrees again. But it really looks as if Usefilm isn't the place for these photos, not just because of the low pixel limits but also general lack of interest. As regards exposure, I am using a high-latitude film, one of the few advantages of sticking with "mature" technology. Fuji New Pro 400 has excellent latitude, and modest dodging and burning can do wonders to rescue shadow details and suppress apparently burnt-out highlights.
The hardest thing about this camera is the VERY wide angle of view, which exaggerates perspective and makes distant objects far too small too quickly. Of course it was designed for indoor work...

Excellent choice of location, Roger.
This looks like a 180 degree shot, or is it?!!
Superb control of exposure ~ how on earth do you do it?!!
That really is SOME camera you have there and a great skill in using it!
Kind regards, Chris
