Stephen Thomas Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Panoramic photo of my office, taken for inclusion in a marketing brochure. I use the Panosaurus tripod head which I'd recommend to anyone wanting to try their hand at panos without spending a fortune. http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alias_marks Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) a bit of photoshop + cgtextures worked in on this one, so i don't know if it is officially a 'photo' of the week, but thought I'd throw it up anyhow. Probably about 75% is still original photo. "Division" Still working on it a bit. any suggestions welcome It's the rooftop garden at SFMOMA Claudio, I like the story behind your photo.

Claudio Branch Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 thanks Michael... I'm always interested in finding the shot that reveals a little more underbelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 And now for something completely different - a straight up architectural shot! San Francisco federal building (yeah, I'm still scanning California slides that are trickling in, but next week I'll have new material). This is on Kodak E100GX with my Minolta XD11 and Vivitar S1 28-90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Buchhofer Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm gonna push it with 3 this week from sundays bike-about, I managed to get detoured by some construction, and ended up in the woods / back end of an old junkyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Ramsay Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I use the Panosaurus tripod head which I'd recommend to anyone wanting to try their hand at panos without spending a fortune. http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm Stef, what's the build quality like on that thing? Do you think it would be able to take an SLR with a battery grip and long lens? I have a Manfrotto 302 Pano head but was thinking about getting a Nodal Ninja as the Manfrotto only works on a horizontal axis. Lovely panorama by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Ah, just looked at your link, didn't realise it's non spherical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Thomas Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The build quality is actually pretty good. Though I think it isn't recommended for camera/lens combinations weighing over 3lbs. It does tighten up really good though and I've never noticed any movement due to gravity on the swing arm. You can read a review of it here and a comparison to other options including the Nodal Ninja where it rates pretty good: http://www.tawbaware.com/panosaurus_review.htm And you must've read the wrong bit Craig as it is fully spherical!

Stephen Thomas Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Also I ordered mine direct from the guy's site who makes them rather than through the European distributers and it came through customs without me having to pay any import duty, so I got it for about £68!

Craig Ramsay Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sounds pretty good, thanks for the info BTW, you work in Skypark right? I was on the roof of your work taking photos of Glasgow a while ago, what a view you get from up there... beware of the seagulls if you go up though, they were not happy!

Dammit, I've been trying to get up there for ages but to no avail!! We were going to do it a while back to film some time lapse skies but the management wanted us to fill in a lengthy method statement and risk assesment etc and it was more hassle than it was worth in the end. So how did you manage it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandmanNinja Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 My first post here! This just caught my eye - a small wind gauge near a house I was photographing today. The first photo was taken with a Nikon D200 at shutter speed: 1/320 and f/9 The second photo was taken with a Nikon D200 at shutter speed: 1/20 and f/29 I like doing this effect with Wind Turbine farms, too. Get a shutter speed slow enough to let the blades blur and crank the f/stop up high enough to compensate for the slow shutter speed for lighting purposes. The 2nd set of photos was on a rural property in the middle of rural Victoria, Australia. There's 40 acres of (some crop) behind the Tree, and the Tree just seemed to be calling to me. It looks old and somehow in pain. The first one shows the shot of tree/water trough/fence and the second shows what I was trying to get. Somehow bringing the weathered fence rail in with the tree. I was stooping when I took the photo and I think the end of the fence rail dominates the scene more than I wanted. Both shot with a Nikon D200 1/250 @ f/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
