Inside - our kitchen

Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:54:02 Z

"This is how our kitchen looks like after renovating and renewal 2001. The walls and the floor were stripped to logs and stomped dirt floor. If someone shouts IKEA-kitchen I say yes. If the ceiling height looks low you see correct. It's 223cm - standard of 1900. After leveling the ceiling wich differed ca 13cm from a level line the ceiling height would be about 213cm with the old floor level. Therefore my father got the brillint idea to lower the floor. Look at the threshold at the open doorway. When making a 360-pano inside I experience a difficulty to get a decent match between images, but I'm not the only one I've noticed when looking at others panos. It has to do with ICE have to straighten bent lines and bend straight line I believe."

I guess that you wonder how my panoramas can be taken with a cell phone. All my panos are taken with my SLR camera Nikon D90 as seen in my photosynth "My equipment for pano photographing". As it it's nine images facing down ICE crops away the tripod legs except for the paws near the floor. It's not on purpose.

A 360 in the pale moonlight in Hybo Dec.29

Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:33:34 Z

"In the pale full moon the night to December 29th I took my gear out to make a 360 pano. The sky had already begun to be a little hazy. It went from comfortable -15C/5F in the evening to 0C/32F in the morning and in the writing moment it's like slush in the driveway. The whole pano is a little bit unfocused - I was freezing my fingers off at the time of shooting. I hope it's OK anyway. Camera settings: ISO1600, 1/4sek, F5,6, 38mm, Act. D-light extra high, WB ca 3030K. White balance is a compromise between moon light and lamp light. Not so precise. The settings are mainly adjusted to make things on the ground correct exposed. After ten attempts of stitching in ICE with different parameters and each try failing, I excluded the upper row and the lower row and it went well. The outcome has the same amount of pixels as the discarded attempts."

Thanks ankorot! I used a regular tripod with an old videohead atached as the tripod was without head from the beginning. You can se it in my photosynth "My equipment for pano photographing". When making a 360 spherical I must remove the home made scales and use the scales on the videohead.

A winter postcard from Hybo

Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:39:54 Z

"A postcard of our house just after new snow. I just want to say first: This is not a lot of snow. Three days ago we had green grass (almost). Two days ago we got about 200mm snow and the night before yesterday we got about 600mm. In this picture the snow has collapsed to 500mm as it was very fluffy from the beginning. A little thaw and it will allmost disappear. Usually we get this amount of snow under the whole november. The picture consists of 110 images and I have changed focus almost between every exposure. At -15C/5F and stiff fingers the picture has become partially unfocused."

Thanx UP. Panorama. Yes, that would be something else! I estimate possible size: seven times eleven feet. Can your mailbox take it?

Our house close up and some neighbours 300mm Oct28

Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:54:45 Z

"A sunny day at the end of October when the village people are out and sunday walking. The sky was cloudy at 12:00 but I saw it was clearing up. I rigged my gears and was ready when the sun broke through. One rule I've breaken in this pano is that it is a really bad composition, but I wanted to get a reference to other houses. Today (Monday) we have just got 10 cm snow. Let's see if we can keep it. The last snow disappeared one day after. The colour of oue house is called "falu red colour". It is made of cupper, iron ocher, water, wheat flour and linseed oil. It's the iron ocher that gives the colour and is matt and more dark blood like than in the sunlit picture. After 5-10 years you brush of the colour with a broom before repainting. The style of the house is called hälsinge style, and is most common in this county, Hälsingland. It's a log frame covered with standing boards that lock each other. In between is traditionaly saw dust but today it's rockwool. Windows with crossbars and white corners. Gable roof I think it's called with tiles wich originally were wooden."

Interesting! thanks!

Our house a foggy autumnday (semi closeup 300mm)

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 19:10:57 Z

"I had just taken down some trees and decide to make a pano today in sunshine and fresh autumn colours and this is wat I woke up to see. We had got our first snow. I kept to my plans and broke about every rule I've made up obout shooting panos. It shall be sunny, a clear air and good visability. Otherwise a gigapixel pano is meaningless. I hope it's accepable anyway. It looks desolate in this picture and the closest neighbour is about 150 metres but then there are ca 150 houses around in a 1,5 km radius. And to the right it use to be some horses that belongs to the nearest neighbour but now he has dug down a hose for geothermal energy so it looks like a battlefield. Our house is built 1910 according to the papers but some says it is older. The main part of the building is 5,5 by 14 metres and is 2 floors high (1,5). It's only 2 metres to the ceiling on top floor. On backside to the left is a housepart 5 by 5 metres (one floor) and on backside to the right i've recantly built a part 5 by 5 one floor. The underground storehouse to the left is outside my ground, belonging to the village. Meta data:ISO-400 F/14 1/250 sek"

Thank you for the nice words. Now maybe I dare to brake my rule about not to make a pano with the sun shining in the camera but on my back. Your comment also made me realise that the welcome sign is in english and not in swedish. Homeblindness I think it's called. Thanks again.

Hyboklacken in evening sun no. 2

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 18:09:14 Z

"On the longest day of the year, 21/6, with the sun almost in my back facing south, I shot this pano from 8:30 to 9:05 in the evening. This pano consists of 264 images. The distance between me and the top of Klacken is about 1500m. The images are shot in columns from right to left in contrast to usually left to right. I've changed focus between distant and nearer images and due to were ICE put the seams the sharpness can go a bit in zig zag. Can you find the mallard on this side of the lake? Don't peek on the highlight!"

Thank you, MagiView. I considered this an insignificant pano with just water, wood and sky. It's really a booster getting such strong words from a pro.

"Soon the last traces of Dagmar will be taken care of. This is how it looks two kilometers from home in Hybo."

It was a light breeze in a global perspective. First she took Norway, then Sweden but then she changed her name to Tapani and drew to Finland. I hope he did not sing "We'll bring the house down" in a literal way.

Our House in moonlight

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:35:12 Z

"360 from backside of our house. Withthe moon almost full and some stars shinging as main light. Metadata: ISO-1000, focallength 34mm, F/5,6, time 1 sek. With one sekond at 34mm focallength the stars still looks likes dots. A camera with better image quality at higher ISO would surely make a more expressive stary sky. Maybe someone gets inspired. Of some reason ICE excluded one row of exposures so the pano did not become totaly spherical, but nearly. Some group of stars are doubled due to difficulty for ICE to match a dark sky with only a few pale stars."

Beautiful!

"It's Christmas Eve. In Sweden this is a more important day than Christmas Day. Here Santa Claus delivers the presents this day. He either has placed them under the christmas tree before the children have woke or comes with the presents in the evening. It depends on the schedule for the year. Today the temperature is quite mild, 14F/-10C. The day before it was even milder, 32F/0C. It can often be -4F/-20C this time of year but we have been blessed with warm winds from south this beginning of the winter..........Of some reason Santa Claus often comes when dad has gone out to buy the eveningpaper and is gone when dad's back and dad has never a paper with him.!!!"

Thank you! That's warming in the winter.
Patience, thoroughness and methodical are the words I believe if one don't have a robotic camera mount type.
