Panoramic Gallery

[Rendezvous]

Hey everyone,
I've just put some of my panoramic photos up on my website.
For anyone who'd like to have a look:

really impressive!

Very impressive. Good thing I have a high resolution, it would have been a shame to have to scroll. I loved the Rocky Beach image.

Care to share your method/tools?

Glad you like the images. Yeah I agree having to scroll is a little annoying, but it's hard to avoid with panos - either scroll or have no detail. The rest of the images on my site are smaller resolution though.

Most of my pano's are handheld. Set on manual exposure, and overlap shots by about 1/4 or so. I've merged them in autostithc / calico / photoshop cs3 - they all seem to give similar results, but I haven't been overly impressed with Calico. After joining the images I've imported it into Lightroom then adjusted colours / cropping in there.

Cheers for looking
Daniel

Have you tried turning them into a "small planet" using the photoshop circulizer filter? I have really liked some of the results that comes up with. You do have Editing ok, but I didn't want to try it without your permission first since it would mean circumventing your disable right click script.

Nice pics
I think if you show it like, When any user click on Thumbnail, you take him on another page which show a pic (around size of 600*400) so user can view whole image in one view without scrolling and if he want to view it bigger, he can click on it or give a link at top saying, 'click here to view on original size' and then show this big image.
I think this help users to view it on one sight.

aram535, yeah I've tried some of those like you suggested, I haven't been overly satisfied with them though. Maybe I'll have another play around with it over the weekend when I'm off work.

shankey - yes that sounds like a good idea. The current gallery I'm using is one that lightroom spits out, so I might have to modify it a little to make it more user friendly. Cheers
