DIY Panoramic Head
August 4th, 2012
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make interactive panoramas for the web. One of the problems is capturing the images.
I have a tripod and fisheye lens, so I was most of the way to shooting perfect panos, but you get parallax issues. As you rotate the camera its perspective changes; it’s position is moving in a circle, so you can see past stuff in one shot that you couldn’t in another. That causes glitches in the stitched-together panorama.
You can buy a head to help you shoot perfect panoramas, or even get a robotic one that does the whole thing for you. I’m too tight for that, so I made one out of wood and leftover pieces of Ikea furniture.
It has 3 holes for the camera, allowing me to point the camera up, down or straight. By using up and down positions, I can get a fairly good vertical field of view from my lowly non-fullframe camera. Read the rest of this entry »

Spring
July 25th, 2012
Mummy and Oscar enjoying the Spring at Cousin Andrew and Pip’s wedding.
The wedding was lovely, and we enjoyed taking some pictures in the grounds, with the flowers.
Daddy practiced using Aperture’s brushes to balance out the shadows, and wants to show off this picture.
Andrew & Pippa’s Wedding
May 28th, 2012
We went to Matthew’s cousin’s wedding at the weekend. We had a lovely time, with beautiful weather, a gorgeous location, and a very intimate wedding service.
Matthew used his iPad, with iPhoto, to give the photos a quick processing, pick out the favourites, and throw together a Journal, to share with the family at the barbeque, the day after the wedding. They aren’t very high res, but the result was pretty pleasing.
