1. & 2. Altham Marina.
3. & 4. Pendle Hill in the distance.
4. & 5. St. Marys Burial Ground.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

After rooting through all my rubbish I've found a couple more I'd like to inflict upon the innocent viewers. :)

In order : The Bowmore - Port Ellen main road Islay, Lussa point Jura, An alternate view of the "Paps of Jura" from Bunnahabhain, Scotts View by Galashiels Scottish borders, Waterfront of Prague.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays meanderings took me to the coppice, nothing special but I am persistent;

1. Huncoat, with Pendle beyond.
2. Outcrop of sandstone overlooking Easterly bypass (A56)
3. Easterly bypass.
4. & 5. Two views of Plantation Lodges (not sure of name)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Had quite a good night with my friend in Clayton sharing beers and a bottle of Courvoisier. On the way home I decided to take a few.....

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

You cant tell you've had a few when you took a few, well not much

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

couple of quick shots of mercer park on my way through today;

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

was taking them at 5AM I had sobered a little bit :)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

How long has there been a 5 in the morning, is it a new thing. I don't think I've seen one.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Absolutely forever.......and on a summer morning it can be quite beautiful.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

If you could take a few panoramics and post here that will be suffice for me.

I find people who get up very early always whistle!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

HA. Cognac was goooood. Bit too much to drink though, mixing them with beers and having a good chat and stuff. 5AM soon came about

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I haven't mastered the skill of panoramics yet......but I can show you pics taken early in the morning...they just won't be panoramic.

There you go....Shanklin dawn

I know the time says 22.00...but the clock on my camera wasn't set right.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I see what you are doing, taking photos at bedtime and then saying its early in the morning, Mrs. P. how could you.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Cognac?, I never could drink Mexican beer

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I promise you the sun rises over the sea in Shanklin and sets behind the hotel we stayed in.
I will have to find another one taken at Sandown.

Well Mrs P may be lying :eek: but the pictures below really were taken at midnight.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Those are beautiful pictures...they must have been taken inside the arctic circle.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Nice pictures, where does all that data come from that gets assigned to the picture,

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thank you, and yes... you said the same thing last time I posted them (before Christmas I think!). :);)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thats a big boat you have there, any chance you could sail it down the canal?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

This one, you mean? Don't think it would fit under the bridges...

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Let me know when you are setting off and we will have them jacked up to the top setting, you might have to let a bit of air out of the tyres but that will do it. We did it before, when the Marie Celeste did the tour.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

From the camera. The camera stores the details(or that is what I was told) - clever little burgers aren't they.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I have to say thats a lot of information about a specific picture, and very informative, even to showing a link to the type of camera with a picture. As you say clever.

I sometimes wonder how a specific picture was taken, and why mine aren't as good, now I know.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

flickr allows you to look at a variety of camera's and from there you can decide whether the pics are any good or not....I think that the exif data would be useful if you had a DSLR.
This explains it far better than I ever could......check out the link.
What is EXIF Data?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

On flickr you can hide the exif data if you want.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

been on a wander today. Pick up my prescription (did this twice) did the alcoholics walk(the bit of the canal) walked along canal from church to clayton..... pics on the way

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I've noticed with the photo's you lads are putting in they seem to be horseshoed which detracts a little from the end result. I take it this is because the camera doesn't auto-compensate for the distances, can it not be done manually ?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I think it depends on the angle you use, my camera has an option of 120* 180* and 360*, the wider the sweep the more pronounced the horseshoeing effect.

On 120* very little distortion, and 360* you, in effect, meet yourself on the way around, if you understand. I don't like the 360* for that fact.

I tend to use the 120* but use the 180* with wide open spaces

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays perambulations took me from Clayton to Church to Rishton to Gt. Harwood back to Rishton then up the main road to Clayton;

1. Looking towards Rishton from St. James Church, Church.
2. Between Church and Rishton, looking down on Hyndburn Brook.
3. Still between Church and Rishton, looking towards Pendle on the left and the Coppice on the right.
4. Tottleworth Road, old railway bridge Gt. Harwood end.
5. Ford on Tottleworth Road.
6. Looking towards Coppice from entrance to Rishton Clayshoot.

Then home for a wipe down with some WD40.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Off work for a week. No money spare till friday(grr monthly pay) to go somewhere. Was a bit restless and bored so I took a walk up the coppice. Not the best of ideas since it started hail stoning !

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I didnt realise so much information was attached to each photo, and I never knew I had access to it. I use photoscape as my photo editing software, and upon checking a menu button I have never used before, it had an option to view the EXIF information. I dont know what I am going to do with the information but I have found the internal clock on my camera is out by one hour. Now that leads me onto another problem, I dont know how to change it, but now I know, I have to.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

This is getting spookey, the photos you are posting are similar to some I posted recently (post103) am I stalking you, or are you stalking me?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays offerings address the question D.I.G posed as to why some panoramic shots are horseshoe shaped.

The shots are all the same subject, Scaitcliffe Lodge/Woodnook Water.
1. 2. & 3. photos are banana shaped and 4. 5. & 6. are more the correct perspective.

My theory is this, as the camera takes a selection of shots when panning the camera, the stitching together is done automatically internally, so any straight lines from left to right appear bent in order to combine it into a viewable photo.

4. 5. & 6. have straight lines front to back, this will probably be within one of the photos taken and when combined maintain the perspective.

Well thats what I think, I submit the photos for perusal, and observations would be welcome as to my theory.

My head hurts!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Not sure about the theory or mechanics of the matter, but I prefer the straighter perspective. It doesn't pull the subject out & for me it's the better picture.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

OOOO Especially when there was no mention of the fire extinguisher and we capture it on the same day. To find out who is stalking who; perhaps we could look at the exif data and find out the diff difference.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

See what you started, I think when the lines are front to back it looks normal.

I think panoramics are a compromise though as it passes through differing light conditions then tries to rationalise it. It is just a presentation of a scene, you cant be artistic.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I did note the extinguisher day, but put it down to coincidence, then it happened again with the coppice. I've checked the exif data and its you who is stalking me

Were still waiting for your panoramic shots!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Shlept up to Five arches from Scaitcliffe Street, have to say it put my lamps out (must put that in "local expressions")
1. The remains of Highams Mill.
2. The old railway line heading for Five arches.
3. & 4. Five arches from both sides.
5. I think this is the bones of Shoe Mill?
6. Priestly Clough down in the bottom.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

How green it all looks. I will try to take some pics at our local canal tomorrow- don't think i have the 3 -D option though...

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Its not 3D, its a panoramic option, and I think it is so green due to the persistent precipitations, that, and all the rain.

I await in anticipation?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

True. On my phone for some reason they call it 3D hehe

Im thinking of buying a camera. I hope to have a few days in lake district next month and gonna take some pics. Any good (low priced) cameras about? my phone is a little irritating for taking pics, though the results are good.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

made my purchase :)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

The first question is what do you want to do with it, macro, panoramic,multi shot, compact (pocket), different lenses (round your neck), when you have answered this question then you can look for a camera. Then you compare prices, and finally go and buy it. You will be too tired to go out and take pictures after that.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Been raining here since i thought of getting out with the camera and bike -more forecast for tomorrow -will ty to capture the local beauty spots asap!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I missed your post about you making your purchase, so what did you get?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

You are just trying to build up the tension for the arrival of the piccys, not to put too much pressure on though.

Todays offering is the woodlands walk in C.L.M. I have done this area previously, but as the trees are now in leaf it is a different walk.
They are presented as I undertook the perambulation, some forward some backwards.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Nice pics Dave, a real feel of spring. I see you had your faithful cockerpoo with you. He hasn't taken you down the canal recently, has he? Haven't had a report from there for a while - or perhaps you're too busy with the darning...

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Sorry for the delay -due to the weather. Finally got the bike out and have taken some pics along the canal -don't have panoramic shots though. Saw lots of wild-life but only managed to capture a very camera shy Turtle -obviously been abandoned there. There were hare, herons and lots of Moor hens but they wouldn't collaborate. The smell was incredible -camomile is out a the moment and elderberry, also lots of poppies -found a fantastic wheat field full of poppies at one point. Loads of birdsong -all very peaceful -a few fishermen and some other "serious" cyclists were on the path (the Giro D'Italia is on at the moment so they're all out on their racing bikes. I move out of the way as I am a slow but graceful peddle-pusher! Lovely and shady in the Elm woods and at the end have added a shot which shows the mediaeval tower in the distance -it is in the center of Cremona.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Last three pics -the turtle in the canal -all a bit brown -not very inspiring. My career as a wild-life photographer will be short-lived!:D

One of the new barn at our farm -looks like an aircraft hangar!

View of the back of my house (built 1780) - in the center with 2 downstairs shutters open and satellite dish to the left. A yellow scarecrow is in the veggie patch behind it too! Have some great salad leaves at the moment...

I looked at that and thought of you!
I have a Panasonic Lumix G1.......in red, with a variety of lenses.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Lovely photos Dave -especially 2 and 3!

Buttercups are lovely flowers -always usd to pick bunches of them for mum when i was little -but they don't look anything special in a vase -wonder why?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Just thought I'd post these 2 pics which my Aunt Diane took while we were out walking -Bluebells in Oxenber woods and a Curlew in a field of dandelions in the Ribble valley. Wish I could take credit for them -she's an artist and has a great eye for a photo.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays pictures are similar to ones I have uploaded before the only difference is the season.

1. through to 6. view from Clayton, Rishton on the left and Gt. Harwood on the right in the distance.
7. Is a view of the land beyond the tree line earmarked for building on the Junction 7 complex.
8. Is the view of the Dunkenhalgh land adjacent to Dunkenhalgh Way, you can just see the car park in the distance.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I must remember to click upload before I post.

The panoramics are from the base of Hameldon.
1. The Coppice if off to the right, Accy just off center.
2. Looking toward Haslingden.
3. Same as first photo, just from a different position.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays walk was something of a "lets see where that goes" so setting off.

1. On a footpath going past Accy tip, just as I was taking a panoramic shot they set off a batch of bird scarer's, both scaring the birds, my dog, and me. Thats why all the birds are in flight.
2. Turning away from the tip I crossed the motorway and took this shot.
3. Heading down to a stone bridge to cross the canal, very close to Altham industrial site, and the boat repair yard.
4. Following the footpath down to the canal.
5. Heading home and looking back at the quarry site on Hameldon.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

On another wet and windy day this is all I could muster,the time it takes to get the picture gives you rain on the lens.
Accy from the car park.

No, not reminds me of you...made me think of you....because it is a very good camera, with lots of potential....good amount of zoom too.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Dianne, the pictures of the poppies in the fields are absolutely beautiful.
I am envious. I would love to be able to see them around her, but we only have buttercups. Karma sent for your pics(unsigned - my mouse fell off the desk and hit the 'enter' key).

The zoom sold it to me. Over the 16mp I was thinking of getting

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Not very picturesque, the tip on the left, through to the Coppice. As I didn't know where I was going, best to get any shot you can.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Hi Dave I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 takes good panoramiic pics but when you view them they only cover the middle 3rd of the screen,is there any way to get them to show full screen?I have some software that will show 360 moving full screen views but only thing is they are ment to be put in web pages.Hope I havn't prattled on to much lol

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

On my camera there is the option to choose how much panoramic you can take, it starts with 120 degrees, then 180 degrees, and finishes with a full 360 degrees.
Its difficult to view them on the rear screen of the camera as the format doesnt fit the screen, its only when you upload them to your computer that you get to see the full picture.
Is that what you wanted to know, if not get back to me.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I did expect security to ask what I was up to, as there are cameras on the top floors, but no, and I've been up a few times, its a limited view but a different perspective. It is a public accessed area so they cant stop you, probably!
