About I stood the tripod in the center of a circular area roofed with glass, with three exits at right angles. Instead of making straight lines into curves, my rotary camera turned this circle into a straight line. Weird, isn't it!

Hi Roger! This is really exciting, it really catches one - for me it's impossible to imagine how this place REALLY looks like. You did a great job!

Hi Roger dear! I wanted to thank you very much for your kind email and all the exhaustive explanations you gave me. Precious advices!!
I tried to answer you, but for some unknown reasons, the letter was bounced back.
Will try again.... In the meantime I'd like you to know that I'm very grateful!
Your friend Antonella

I will have a llok later but let me comment first. Awesome view and yes I try bend it circular in my mind to vision what it really looks. Very nice capture and a great camera. Nice evenly exposure in all directions. Masterpiece.

Roger excellent shot.Panoramas are one of my favorite subjects,and the possibility to view
an 360 degree image in one row is fantastic,I usualy stitch a few images which ofcourse is not the same-Very good job you did here
Many thanks on your commenting on my "An intricate world"the macro photography is really fascinating
as you can see the inner world, in this case of the flowers.
Best regards

Glad you like it, Heath, but why "effort" and "strong patience"? This is what a rotary camera DOES... The only extra effort involved is that my scanner can't cope with the oversized (6 x 18cm) negs, so I have to scan in two or three bites and stitch them (simple overlays, no warping).

Mary Sue, I am sorry to have lost your comment on the Asakusa temple shot. As for running around, I'm not agile enough for that! I have a remote control and a delay function, so I stand near something that I can hide behind, press the button, and then duck behind it. The alternative is crouching down alongside the tripod, under the field of view. This raises some eyebrows, as you can imagine. All part of the fun of taking panoramas...

You'r right Roger-- the 360 degree camera does produce "weird" results-- makes the mind work harder. This composition sort of looks like it could have been four separate photos stitched together. It's very hard to judge these photos in conventional terms though. The four alleys, ie areas of interest make a detailed and interesting composition. Cheers. Craig

Roger, I've enjoyed these images shot with a Voyageur camera. Although I wrote a lengthy comment on your Asakusa Temple image, it disappeared like the wind when I accidentally hit the wrong button. So sad. Just so you know it was complimentary of the cool 360 degree pano!

My question on these images is: where do you stand when shoot them? Since you do not appear in the shots, I wonder if you run around behind the camera as it is moving. Since these take about 2 seconds for an image at 1/60, it would seem that you would be moving quite quickly.

This is another nice one. It is interesting how the curved distortion actually compensates for the architecture.

You have found some fascinating venues to render in 360 degrees. You've really done a good job keeping everything level and under control!
