Class Demo Option #4*
Much of my own digital photography work is making panoramas that are “stitched” together from separate pictures. This technique allows you the most control and gives you ability to create full 360 degree panoramas for immersive “virtual-reality” effects. We will demo this technique and those who are interested can follow up on it.
I found this short video that shows the process of creating a full 360/180 degree panorama. It’s by Eric Rougier who is a terrific panorama geek from France. His website is FromParis.com.
He is using a sophisticated pano head, which is one reason this looks so simple, but otherwise its an accurate illustration. He is working towards creating an interactive VR posted online, not necessarily a flat image to print. This might get a bit too technical at the end, but we can go over it. Also, I will be bringing the pano head that he is using to the Certaldo class. Click the image to see the quicktime movie.

btw “Chitarra non Richiesta” means “Guitar not required.” (You have to watch the video for this to make sense.) So, you don’t need a Chitarra to stitch a pano, but if you bring one, I’ll play the drums…or at least clap along.
* These are more advanced techniques that might be of interest to students. Interested students can pursue them on their own with more help from the instructor.
