Not sure what a Quick­Time VR Panorama is?  No problem.

Its basi­cally a still image you can scroll 360 degrees (with your mouse), from within the pic­ture frame. Now you can see what’s behind the cam­era too! They are very pop­u­lar with real estate sites, as well as some muse­ums and travel sites.

If you are on a Win­doze PeeCee, you may need to down load and install Apple’s Quick­Time to view these images.  It is free. Mac users have no wor­ries, its part of the oper­at­ing system.

Jan­u­ary 27th, 2010– This is a test… This is only a test…

Please give this QTVR image time to fully load before play­ing with it.  I need feed­back about this new fea­ture so com­ments, good or bad and any sug­ges­tions you might have would be appre­ci­ated.  Thanx, the Scurvy Dog.. Arrg!!!!

Orig­i­nal Post: ‘Mirador Piedra Degetau’

Degetau’s Obser­va­tion Stone.. QTVR Panorama Numero Uno:

I use a Canon S80 (8MP) mounted to a  cus­tom made panoramic bracket cob­bled together from old flash gun parts, a com­pass and small bub­ble level.

The bracket is mounted to a strong tri­pod. It takes about 12 clean shots stitched together to make one panorama. They have to be shot in rapid sequence to ‘freeze’ any action going on in the frame like clouds float­ing by.  There are sim­pler ‘one shot’ solu­tions out there, but they are much more expen­sive or are too ‘lowrez’ for me.

I use Panorama Maker 5, PTlens and Pho­to­shop soft­ware to cre­ate mine.

This was the first QTVR Pano I had pro­duced in sev­eral years so I had to estab­lish a new ‘work flow’ based on this new com­bi­na­tion of hardware/software.  I did ‘Pho­to­shop’ out a light pole run­ning up into the sky from the tall post in the back­ground.  It was dis­tract­ing.. Arrg!

This page will even­tu­ally fea­ture thumb­nails and links to Quick­Time VR Pano Posts. I’ll update as new ones are added.
