3D Panoramic Pics
 

Went to my parents for tea in clayton today. On the walk back I took the canal route and decided to test out the 3D panoramic option that is on my new phone to take a few pics...

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Do you have to pan the camera when you take the photos, or does it have a wide-angle lens?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Some great photos Restless

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I have just sold one of my cameras which had a panoramic setting. You have to take a photo and move slowly round until two squares line up and it automatically takes another, the do it again.
A few seconds later the camera stitches all three together and the results are not too bad.

The best about the setting is that it doesn't finish up with the curved affect.

The results with your phone Restless are not bad at all, phones are improving every day

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

You have to pan the camera, which may have made me look weird to anybody that was watching. It can be quite difficult to get it all the way without getting a grey area or it not taking a picture at all. Especially with my shaky hands.

I think perhaps you can get this 3D option as an app on other android phones-- Though im not sure about that

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

restless you set me off down an avenue I have ignored up to now, that is my camera has a 360* option but I have ignored it up till now.So without reading the instruction book on how to do it (men know how to do stuff, they dont need to read instructions) I gave it a go.
Never manage to go the full 360*, best I got was 180*

first picture M65 bridge over canal to rileys swing bridge.
second picture Rileys swing bridge facing clayton.
third picture a man outstanding in his field, hidden in centre of picture Dunkenhalgh Hotel, and off to the right another motorway bridge (65)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Good results there davemac.

I was told by a professional camera man how to get good results when doing panoramic shots or videos.

Twist your body and head to where you want to finish the shot then turn back to where you you want to start but keep your feet still. That way when you get half way round you don't start to shuffle your feet to get to the finish.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

thats a good idea, will try that next time.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

It can be quite difficult to get one of these pictures out of my android phone. I kinda did what Gremlin suggested when I was testing different ways of panning the camera. I don't know if its my shaky hands or just that it is difficult in general. Mostly I seem to get 1/4 grey area.

Some great pics there. Thanks for sharing

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Had another go, this time putting my feet on the finish spot before starting, had to choose the 180* option otherwise I would have done myself a mischief on 360*.

This one is another man outstanding in his field, the field is facing Whalley Nab, with the Whalley Viaduct slightly left of centre.

It would be interesting to know what equipment other people use to take pictures with.

My equipment is Fujifilm Finepix F500EXR.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thas nowt wrong wi that Dave.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thanks for that, the subject matter is nowt special, but at this time I'm just getting the technique right.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

just a few more , will give someone else a chance after these.

1. River hyndburn again, trig point in centre.
2. River again, motorway bridge to left, and boss in the middle.
3. Stood on bridge Church Kirk, Rishton in the centre far away.
4. Stood with back to church (St. James), follow left footpath to end and the black shape is the halfway point on the Leeds-Liverpool canal.


For some reason the last one showes bigger, I did resize it though.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Some more great pics there. Especially the first one.


ok a couple more. One walking down 'jacksons' and the other taken in blackbum town center

Sony Experia Ray mobile phone 5MP

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

The second picture, I was along the canal there this afternoon, this photo joins up with yours.
the landscapes are very good especialy the sky, for 5mp you should be very pleased

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Oh I just found out it is actually 8.1 MP the guy in the shop was wrong when he told me about it!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

just a few more.

1. Marina at Altham.
2. Water pipes over canal at Fosters swing bridge.
3. Under the pipes.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Whoa. You walk some distance.

I did that walk a few years ago in the summer. Is there a gypsy site you pass(something like that?) these dangerous looking guard-like dogs can get through the fence and onto the canal. Made me think twice about walking it again.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Still have & use my Casio (5MP) it's ancient by todays standards but still produces some good Pics. In Panoramic mode there's a shaded/lighter area that overlaps where you should take your next still in the series.

That done you can have a quick scroll in the viewer then work on it at home with the software.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I do tend to ramble about for hours rather than minutes.
If you look at the marina picture (first) on post 17 the green fence you see is the funfair storage site, the name escapes me at the moment. Yes they have a large Alsatian, and it made me jump today as it roared up to the fence, its a good job I was wearing my Tenna Lady pads.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

We will be expecting some piccies posted soon then.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays walk in panoramic detail
1. Blackburn Road. wharf area.
2. Whalley Road bridge, facing Albion.

5. Start of the priest walk from Bell Lane end.
6. Priests Walk, Wilsons Playing field end.
7. Wilsons Playing Field.
8. Start of Woodlands Walk.

Will continue on next post due to size allocation.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays walk continued.
10. Carving facing the other way.
11. Another carving further on.
12. Woodlands exit onto Whalley Road.
13. Back onto canal behind St Marys School.
14. Towpath heading towards Albion, and an early bath for a muddy dog and a cup of tea for a clapped out pensioner.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

If I was to take this many pictures with my phone I would add 2 hour to that journey.... it can be that difficult to take one

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I have you to thank for my current obsession with panoramic photos, I had never entertained it until you posted some.
Having got the hang of it, and there was a lot deleted before I got the gist of what was happening, I can now take one in the time it takes me to pan the camera, it then takes the same time again to process the picture internally.
I don't think I would post that many again in one post as uploading was a pain, thats not counting the resizing of each photo on the computer.

I did have a look to see if my HTC did panoramic shots but it doesn't.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I either get half or 3/4 the way to the end of the panning and it says "grey area" or It just cuts out completely. Havent got the speed down either. It says "pan in right direction" quite a lot, when i go too fast. But when it happens they make great pictures. When it is sunny I again-- I will be taking panoramic pictures up the coppice.

Why resize them. How big(filesize) are they ?

My HTC didn't either. But perhaps there is an app for it?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

When posting if you click the paper clip for attachments it opens a window to insert your pictures, if you scroll down it gives file size recommendations. It makes each picture present as thumbnails until clicked on. It makes each picture easier to view

I use Photoscape to resize and process my pics. Its a free download www.photoscape.org

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Dave make a photo bucket account. Saves the hassle. Easy to post pics and you have a backup of your pics online

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

The file size isn't forced to my knowledge

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

No it isn't, if your file size is to big it gets resized automatically. The advantage is that you can get a number of pics on one post without it filling the page with part of a picture and having to scroll to see it completely.
I can see the advantage of an online account but I backup mine to an external hard drive, horses for courses I suppose

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

The advantage is being able to post the pics in their native format without having to spend time editing them.

Is your external hard drive Seagate

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

WD.300GB.
Have to say I like to edit my pics, bit of cropping bit of colour tweaking can make all the difference

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Oh if you like to edit them to improve them. That is different. Though I cant get why you would want to crop a panoramic picture, kinda defeats the object.

Western Digital. Nice

I say. Is it seagate because they are often known for "click of death"

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I don't crop panoramic, but I do with other photos, but it is possible to lighten up or darken as required and colour enhance if required.

I have no information on Seagate so don't know the "click of death"

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

If you hear the clicking sound on a seagate external hard drive start worrying about the data stored on it. :D

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Waddled up the coppice today, four panoramic shots ;


1. Half way up coppice facing Huncoat, the line of trees in the center of picture is the main drive into Accrington Cemetery.
2. Hameldon Hill round to Baxenden.
3. Baxenden down to Accrington.
4. Baxenden round to edge of Huncoat.

As a point of reference in the last two pictures, the row of houses with trees lining the Avenue is Avenue Parade.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Looking after my nephew and niece this weekend. Been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Been taking panoramic pics

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

more

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thought I'd add to the collection. :)

Sound of Islay from Bunnahabain across to the Paps of Jura, Cullen Bay Grampian, Dunivaig Bay Islay Lagavulin Distillery, Harwich Harbour pier & lifeboat station morning, Harwich Harbour pier & lifeboat station, evening with Hook ferry arriving.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Great pics Dave, hadn't realised the Paps of Jura were quite so pap-like! Would love to be in that neck of the woods for the Islay fest at the end of this month. One day...

Love the Harwich pics too, had some great cruise departures from there, I just love looking at the harbour etc from the deck of a ship.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Nice pics, I see you are getting the hang of it now, I noticed in peopled areas sometimes the stitch together gives them four legs or two heads, but you have to really look for it.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Were these done on the Casio (5mp)?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Thanks Sue,we did the Islay thing 2 years running but in late Summer so missed the Feis Isle, The paps photo was taken from the garden of the "Old Distillery managers house" at Bunnahabhain in which we stayed. Yes Dave, all with the old Casio 5MP. :)

As you will notice, most are themed around the Coast of UK, probably something to do with my background. :) But the occasional land locked view slips in. As to the quality, it's down to the camera not me, although old it was in the upper range at the time of buying, it's turned out some good pics & is still doing sterling service now.

A few further shots, Achmer training area Germany water obstacle, Loch Fyne Argyll, Saddleworth moor Lancashire to Yorkshire, Yeoman hey reservoir viewed from A635 Holmfirth road, Tarbert kintyre Scotland.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I have seen the several heads effect. :D

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I cant match the exotic locations of late, but here are my set for the day;

1. Leeds Liverpool, left, Riley's swing bridge, right, Clayton.
The rest chart Hyndburn Brook as it travels through Dunkenhalgh land from the edge of Church, toward the edge of Rishton

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I see the swan's giving your Bob a wide berth! Love to know what sort of dog he is - not easy to make out from the photo!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

That's where i used to play out as a girl Dave. Down past Jackson's farm and to the bunkers and swing bridge! Didn't know it was Riley's swing bridge -that's a useful detail to me for a story I'm writing Thanks!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Of the second set of "Restless" photos -i love number five looking back along the railings towards the tower. Was there a few weeks ago to see where my Gt Grandmother ran a guest house in WW1 -it's still there, parallel to the promenade just about opposite Central pier!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

From all DiG's photos I would really love to go back to Scotland -have never visited the islands -only Edinburgh and a place on the Clyde.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Attached is a picture of the Swing bridge, please use if you want, if you require photos around the area let me know. Not much left of the bunkers as I can see from the towpath, just mounds of grassed areas.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Usually its the other way around, they try to give him a peck on the hooter.
He's a cockerpoo, cocker spaniel, poodle cross, lovely temperament.

He's usually cocker but mostly poo

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Aww I want him! Make a lovely hearthrug!

I could see he was part poodle, wasn't sure about the other bit(s).

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Nice picture - thanks. Walked down there the time but last I was over -took a sandwich and a drink to eat on a drizzly day and it was so disappointing and dismal. It seemed magical as a place when we were kids. We used to spend hours playing out, making dens, picking wild-flowers etc. I grew up nearby on Cranbourne Drive and my Grandad used to play there many years before as he grew up on Rock Mount (Whalley Road).

I expect the bunkers would be dangerous now. I seem to remember one summer when the canal was really low that you could see the foundations of some buildings under the water near the bridge...

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I know what you mean, I recently walked around priestly clough, a place I used to spend more time in than at home. It was smaller, dirtier, and very disappointing. The buildings had gone, the reservoir filled in, and footpaths were no longer tarmac.
Thats what happens if you look for the places you knew.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I'l tell him what you said, hes a bit of a camera tart, this was him this afternoon, Pendelton moor in the background.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

What a poser!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

todays panaramics;
1.Left to right, Leeds Liverpool, in the distance Longridge Fell, to Pendleton Moor, then to Pendle Hill, and then Burnley Road to finish.
2. Moorfield Colliery memorial.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Priestley Clough was my childhood playground too.....it was almost our backyard. We lived on Riley's Hill.(and Ma still does)
And yes you are right, it now looks very small and dejected...down at heel. Not the place where we fought indians, where we rescued adventurers from the cannibals, not the place where we wrestled man eating tigers.
We used to have expeditions up to the five arches.....rations were a penny hovis loaf and a bottle of spanish water.

What fine times we had.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I'm really lagging behind here.......I have never tried to take panoramic shots.
Hmmm, must think about trying it when I am next on top of the Orme.
Some brilliant pictures on this thread. I'm quite envious.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Just to top off the disappointment, five arches went donkeys years ago, and there is no trace of the pill box close to the donkey steps. I used to squeeze through one of the gun slits to play inside, I get a cold sweat when I remember that now.( I struggle to squeeze through a door frame now)

You must give it a go, the first panaramic shots I did are on this thread. It was the same for me, I saw some restless had done, and thought I have a doo dah on my camera for that, I gave it a bash and after a few for the delete button, the worlds my lobster.

You dont have to be in exotic locations either, I await in anticipation.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I knew that five arches was gone.........it seemed ever such a long trek for our little legs...and crossing the pipes over the water too...one little hovis loaf and a medicine bottle of spanish water, hardly seems enough sustenance now.

I will have to have a look at my camera's to see if they do this panorama stuff ...and how it works.

I do like taking pics...but prefer somewhere a bit scenic.

Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing
Have a look at my flickr pics.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

where is this?

Great pic. Thanks for sharing. Your dog looks happy :)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I just noticed I posted one worthy of the delete button. Yeah it happens a lot a first(especially with my phone) but the results are great

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

well, one of my camera's came with a bit of editing software to do panorama shots...but it was a real fag to use, wasn't overly impressed by the results.
I can't see any settings on my current camera's that do panorama shots...will have to look at the instructions(I don't refer to them unless something goes wrong - I fly by the seat of my pants).

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

He was actually saying this is my best side , use this.
The location if you look at the picture you will see a bit of the wall is missing adjacent the canal, that is the exact location, we were close to the bridge at Altham/Burnley Road. I was about to go over the bridge when I took the panoramic.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I thought that was a man thing, if all else fails read the instructions.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Er, No ! If all else fails, hit it with something heavy ! :D

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Sure is in our house, I always RTFM first.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I don't recall seeing a waterfall

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

What do you do if you are too weak to lift it.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

er, what, have I missed something?

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Think he meant post 51 not 55!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Silly me, the location of the waterfall is Hyndburn Brook, again see post 45, but it is further downstream. To get to it you have to go down Barnes Street, round the flat iron, and just as you get to the footpath that goes to Gt. Harwood take a sharp left through the iron gates. It is only a short walk, but in summer when the trees are in leaf it is a nice walk. At the moment it is not very well known, so keep it to yourself, or it will get busy.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Ah is there horses around there? I think my niece told me about this place....

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

yes there are some just as you go on the footpath to Gt. Harwood, but you are in the right area.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Tried the flickr link, didn't work, signed up for an account though, I think they are blowing the fluff of the contact points, so will try tomorrow

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Yeah & if that white one gives you any info about fixing cars don't listen to him, he's clueless. :D

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics

Try this one then...glad you signed up. A good way of storing pics....and letting other folk see your handiwork.....Wadey is on there too.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

That worked,thanks, will have to take the time now to organise my collection to upload.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I think certain locations just need to be captured with special lenses -rose tinted ones!

You only remember picking the wild-flowers never the times you got stung by nettles;)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Do it gradually.....take your time.
My favourite bit is thinking up the captions and the descriptions.......like...Put that goose down you naughty boy....and put your clothes back on.
That won't make any sense at all unless you have looked at my pictures on Flickr

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I looked at a few pages, got past nurse in uniform, and how did you know I didnt have my clothes on!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Walk around Foxhill Bank Nature Reserve this afternoon

1. Lake area.
2. Same view from top of steps.
3.White ash Playing Field
4. Second lake, I never knew was there.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Ah, well....that would be telling :D.
The nurse in uniform is me......at different stages of my career.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Panoramic eyesore Steiner St area

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Todays offering, not to adventurous, just down the road from me. Same subject, slightly different perspective

The Wharf area, Clayton, soon to be altered to incorporate over 100 houses.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Those pics are not too far from my home.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Walk past that bridge mon-fri :D

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

We are all going about our business, it is impossible for our paths not to have crossed?

You both have an advantage over me in that you know what my dog looks like but I dont know what you look like, so if you see me out and about you must say I know that dog and I claim my five pounds.........


.............I will then ring the police.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

You do know what I look like....... you have seen pictures of me in Uniform(I know that one of the pics is recent - no more than 20 years old :D)

We should all be wearing Accyweb pin badges........I'm sure Lancsdave could source them, sell them, and make a bit on the side from them :)

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Marg is the little pic at the top of your Flickr pages you in more recent years? And Restless looks like his avatar - minus the guitar. Of course no one knows what Davemac looks like - I think he is a shape shifter from one of the alien craft on the canal.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Yes it is Sue...I think that was taken in Oz circa 2004...not very flattering I know...was caught off guard. I try to avoid getting my mush in pictures...after all why spoil a good view? I really like to be the one behind the camera...clicking the shutter.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

My thoughts exactly - hate having my picture taken - but the one in my profile page is not too bad... but only because of the dog!

I've had to agree now not to take pictures of Richard, even though he always takes a good photo - see the album on my profile page. Otherwise he retaliates by taking one of me, now he's just got a new posh camera!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Your right , I do, I didnt want it to sound like I was stalking:silly:.

When I upload my photos I will have to upload the one of me in my nurses uniform as well,...........I know im being silly now

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I am easy to spot from a distance, I have a hump on my back and I drag one leg when I walk, also I am deaf, it was the bells they made me deaf your know........esmaraldaa

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

If Quasimodo had the opportunity, he would rather stand straight than be a hunchback. He was not really a bell-ringer, but a cell-ringer.

He spent all of his time hunched over clinging to his cell phone, reading emails, text messages, websites and looking at loads of photos of Esmeralda.

He never knew what life could be like away from his phone, until he lost all of his uprightness and all feeling in his hands.

If you don’t want to be banished to the bell tower, then put the phone down, pick your head up and put your shoulders back.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

That was a quick response, 13 minutes, including pictures, well done.

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Didn't know I was being timed!

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

I am really looking forward to seeing that one...you in a nurses uniform....will get a lot of 'hits':D

Re: 3D Panoramic Pics
 

Oh yes! and monitored...:smokin:
