Megasynth 3- Chapel Gallery Walk Gambia Exhibition

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:56:53 Z

by tahrey " Give it a moment to load! If you're on a slow or congested link it may appear to have hung at first, but it'll come thru in the end. More of a test of a technique of walking along with the camera in continuous-shot mode, synchronising each step with a click of the shutter (fairly easy at a quick pace as mine runs about 2 shots per second at 2 megapixel) than an actual spreading of the exhibition... Since you asked (?), it's "A Glimpse of the Gambia", by pro photographer Dr Vanley Burke (himself gambian? not sure). And very nice it is too. I was going to delete it after testing it out, but it seems the level of synthyness or the number of pictures or something has led to photosynth dropping the display quality somewhat - they were all taken at 2 megapixel (1600x1200), after finding that using VGA (640x480) was just too chunky to synth reliably, but they're probably now down to a lot less than that, maybe 400x300 with fairly severe compression... very evident if you go full screen then zoom in so each pic almost fills the frame. Unfortunate, but helps dodge any possible copyright foibles as it gives an idea of this quite neat exhibition without exposing any fine details of the images themselves. Come on down and take a look for yourself, and buy something in the college shop while you're here! Also, more so even than looking at all the pictures, switch it into point cloud mode and flick through the images manually. Blimey, that's a nice auto-generated 3D model, if you ignore the slight hiccup where the (now unreadable 9_9) information poster and one of the pictures has been synthed onto completely the wrong wall (and part of a door). It's even synthed in things that I hardly noticed were in the images until I let it fly around - like the conifer trees and tower blocks in the distance, poking over the roofs of the halls of residence and other buildings. Get in! Particularly look for the nice super-3D effect where it swoops from one far low corner of the stairwell up onto the gallery walk itself in one motion. Just wow. Could turn this into a Quake level or something :D Rock and roll. For a finale switch it into "sequence by filename" mode and let it run automatically - it should start in the stairwell looking all around, then stripe up and down the corridor with the viewpoint facing a certain way each time (matching how I walked it), then finish up with the close-ups of the pictures. I do really like how this turned out, excepting the misplaced pieces and the low rez."

National Geographic: Taj Mahal - Front

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:56:54 Z

by NationalGeographic "Built in the early 1630s by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal stands as one of India’s most iconic beauties. Its precise symmetry and impeccable detail—it’s decorated with calligraphy from the Koran and with carvings of flowers inlaid with precious stones—make this white marble structure one of the world’s most breathtaking pieces of architecture. Located by the Yamuna River, the Taj took 22 years and 20,000 workers to complete. It contains a tomb (for Mumtaz) and a mosque, as well as gardens, gateways, and fountains. The main structure is surrounded by four minarets, which were built to lean out slightly so that an earthquake wouldn’t cause them to fall on the palace. "
