Half Frame Urbex
A couple of half frame panos… The first one is the abandoned Central Institute of Technology and the second one is an abandoned company that used to go by the name Universal Trading Company which reminded me of Universal Exports from James Bond 🙂

Motorway Half Frame Pano
I haven’t done one of these for a while…
This one was taken from Fort Buckley on the night before we did the painting with light.

Half Frame Night Pano
A 4 shot pano from a couple of weeks ago when I went out with some friends to shoot stuff at night.
I like the simplicity of creating panos this way without all the high tech stitching programs…

More Cemetery Half Frame
Some more shots from the Demi Half Frame.
The light at the cemetery was awesome just as the sun was going down.

Half Frame Pano
I had a half frame lunch walk around yesterday with a borrowed Canon Demi, Cheers Fergus. Something like 48 shots in under 10 Minutes!
Yes I put my hand over the lens a couple of shots and Yes I had to turn them all in Photoshop cause I took ion the wrong order but apart from that it is a pretty fun camera to shoot with.
Cheers to Nige for inspiring me with his Super Rad images!

More Scanner Action: Cemetery Panos
Still playing around with the new scanner and finally getting to scan some stuff which I havent been able to scan properly before like these cemetery shots from a Noblex Swing Lens camera.
I have to say that I am a little bit disappointed with the scanner in the fact it’s not really resolving the grain as much as I would like… maybe it just needs some tweaking and more experimentation… other than that its a really kick ass piece of kit! Scanning black and white as 16 bit image rocks!
All these image were taken just after the sun went down using Delta 3200 ISO film which makes them look a bit ethereal with no shadows.

Nodal Ninja 360 Degree Panoramic Images
Wow! That title is a bit of a mouthful.
This week I have had the fun experience of borrowing a Nodal Ninja (or as Amanda calls it a “Noodle Ninja”)
For those of you who don’t know what this is… It’s basically a device that enables you to pivot around the absolute centre of your lens when you are taking images to stitch together.
unfortunately WordPress doesn’t display these too well since they are really wide, but you get the idea…
All the below images are made up of 22 images stitched together with Photoshop.

Oriental Parade Panos
Another older image. This one is onto of the fisherman’s Table on Oriental Parade Wellington.
Couple of amusing things about this image:
The front of the roof is actually round and when it was put into Photoshop it straightened it up.
This is back before I took panos in the vertical mode.
Must go back and shoot this again some time.
Not sure what treatment I like best and slightly annoyed with the burnt out sky but all the more reason to go re-shoot.

Queenstown Stitch Panorama
It was a dark and gloomy day…
Looking out from a car park on Coronet Peak Ski Field onto the Wakatipu Basin with Queenstown in the gap in the right of the picture.
It pretty much was overcast whenever I went out to take pictures and about 6 hours after we flew out they had a snowfall that pretty much closed the whole of Queenstown down for a couple of days.
