Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I hope to get up the coppice sometime and test out the 360 camera app that is on the new nexus 4. I have been trying in the house but it is very hard to capture a picture that isn't doubled or trippled in places

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

We will look forward to that, and lets hope other locations as well.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Dave It's quite hard to take a pic. I am off work next week so If you are planning a wander up the coppice sometime during next week I could meet you up there and you can have a try at taking a 360 pic. It takes time. Well over 5 mins.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I think there is something wrong with the time taken, any subjects that would move will ghost, perhaps a re-read of the manual might shed some light on it. I have a 360 option on my camera, and the time it takes to do a sweep is no longer than 10 seconds. I would, If I could, meet you next week, however my wife is due in hospital on Friday next week , she has to be in Burnley Gen on Tuesday to see the anaesthetist, Shopping Wednesday and Accrington Thursday. Then its hospital visiting until she is discharged. So my input in any photo thread will also be disrupted as I wont be able to get out much. However......if you haven't sorted it by the time I get a bit of free time, I would love to get together to have a look at your equipment.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Well. Its just a mobile phone....Though its pretty much the best android phone out at the moment(open to debate) but hey you left Monday open hehe. Even this Sunday could be an option.... Its just so hard to get anything from this 360 app(its more me and how I move... I just dont have it) and you seem so damn great a taking photos, and I thought you might like to have a try..

How can i describe it...

Imagine yourself in the center of the room. You face the wall take and you see a square in center of the screen. It focuses then you move it to the right it captures the next photo when you reach this dot about 2cm on the screen. It takes 11-12 photos to do the entire room. But then there is also up and down to take into consideration. So a full 360 shot is around 36 pictures knitted together. The file displayed here it would just like a like a crazy panoramic pic that made no sense. On googles page you can up it and get the 3D sphere effect....

https://plus.google.com/photos/11002...06988734372865

Here is an example


Though that is very funny. This phone is very fragile(OMG why do I have it!) and the effort Davemac puts in with his compact convinces me I can trust him to 1) get a better result than me(I would like to get one 360 pic that doesn't look screwed up) and 2) not drop it and smash the glass that is made out of haha

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I thank you kind sir for those kind words. Thinking slightly out of the box to get a panoramic shot, and this should only take you the time it takes to capture say 15 single photos. Take single photos with a slight overlap in a full circle, then using the software irfanview you can create a panoramic shot as it will combine the photos for you.

Not sure if this appeals to you, or whether you are determined to master the phone, but the easiest option, is, in my book, always the option I would choose.

The way you described the way the phone works would give a photo of differing exposures as you are taking 36 pictures (this is a lot), if the sun if going in and our of cloud, by the time you have done a sweep you will have dark pictures, over exposed pictures, and if something is moving in the picture, ghosting.

Just a note on the number of shots you have to take, 36 for a full 360*, thats one every 10*. To my none technical mind that appears to be almost a full overlap for the first photo......... the second photo overlaps the first,... the third photo overlaps the first and second, then the fourth photo overlaps first, second, and third, although in diminishing amounts. This overlap would continue right around the field of view until you get back to the start point.

I will throw this technical thing up in the air for others opinions, as my head hurts now.

check this video out

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Have to say the you tube video was more for sphere photos, although reading the Google support you only have to pan through the image and it renders it for you at the end.

This is at odds with the way you described how to do it, you say it takes 36 photos to complete the circle. The instructions say you just have to pan through the scene and the only thing to concentrate on would be the speed of rotation. Without being rude are you using the panoramic mode correctly? Another question, have you updated the firmware past its specification, just wondering if the panoramic mode is corrupted ?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

360 cam is what I am trying to do yes. It creates a sphere 36 pics and renders at the end

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I can't spin around without moving my placement to o much. Lol it's hard work

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Not sure if I'm being thick here, but, the panoramic mode does not from your perspective take individual photos you just have to pan the camera through the 360* arc on the horizontal and the formating is done by the camera at the end of the sweep. This operation should take no more than 10 seconds.

However the globe effect does take individual photos but to do this in 360* in both the horizontal and vertical axis would require a flask and some sandwiches to do the complete rotation. I am not sure if this is what the feature was designed for, I would have thought a 120* or 180* arc would be more atainable.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Exactly!!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I think it just clicked into place, you can take panoramic shots, its the globe effect that you are struggling with, or to be more exact the time taken and the number of photos to do it. If that is the case then you have to start with smaller number of photos to make up your globe, and if it takes all those photos to do a 360* then it takes that number and I don't think you can speed up the process. However you may just want to give it a go to see what it looks like, if that is the case you may speed up the process with practise but I don't think it will ever become a fast option, and it sounds painful having to hold your arms out for that length of time.

If you do go up the Coppice tell someone where you are going, as you may be away from home for some time.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Tripod with a rotating head should give a steady platform for your 360°.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Yeah globe effect is a good way to describe it. I guess the invitation did sound a little weird... I will give it a go and yea It will never be fast. It tells me all the time already that I am too fast.

Panoramic camera is a lot easier on this one. Expect some pics at least :D

it would also need to go up and down.

It would have been interesting to experiment with your tackle, however as I said before, you have picked a period when my time is in limited supply at the moment. Although I think I now understand the principle of the action required and don't think I could add anything you don't already know about the application , if you want a distorted picture though, there are plenty of ways to achieve that in post production rather than going missing on the Coppice for two days. Still if you are determined to give it a go then crack on, but I cant help thinking that just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
