Iguazu Falls, Argentina wienStart (4 weeks ago) wow! theMink (Over 1 year ago) visited in 2003 and this brings it back home to me...a fantastic place in a fantastic country. Great work. synthfeatured (Over 1 year ago) Congratulations, this synth was featured on the Photosynth homepage. Nathanael (Over 1 year ago) Now that is my kind of beautiful. crrrl (Over 1 year ago) I love how the synth really brings out the breadth of the falls. Really nice. more...

300,000 Penguins, South Georgia Island furiousm (Over 1 year ago) Beautiful, thank you so much for sharing. nevermind (Over 1 year ago) Wow, that's just flat out incredible MateCosido (Over 1 year ago) increible... muy maravilloso ver tantos pingUinos juntos! RohitJain (Over 1 year ago) Amazingly beautiful. This is first synth in my favorites list. BlueHippo (Over 1 year ago) One of my favourite synths. more...

Summit Of Eldorado Peak, North Cascades National Park TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Actually I did carry the big camera, 2 lenes and my tripod up :-) But creating a pano with app takes so much less time... GigaView (Over 1 year ago) Nice not to have to carry the big camera body up the mountain, I bet. I do miss the resolution at a location like this. Tell us some of the story of the climb in the descriptions, please. more...

Moorcheeba at Showbox Nathanael (Over 1 year ago) Copy that on the stitching location. By pixel drift I mean the difference in coordinates between different resolutions of the same part of the scene. TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) They're not stitched on the server actually, stiching happens on the phone. Not quite sure what you mean by pixel drift, but this probably isnt the best example: dark, with a low shutter speed/high ISO and crappy phone camera lens; makes for difficult tracking Nathanael (Over 1 year ago) Leave it to you to shoot the first artistic pano with the mobile app. =) Something I've noticed is that the pixel drift between different resolutions seems to be quite significant in mobile panos when compared to ICE panos. Since they're beein stitched on the server, is there any way to explain this? more...

Paradise Harbor, Antarctic Peninsula mstaves (Over 1 year ago) Awesome! TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Yes, that was an unfortunate place of ICE to decide to stich to photos together. TacticChocha (Over 1 year ago) Nice pic.. But, poor man sitting in the boat in a red jacket.. Looks pretty #%!@t!!:) more...

Mount Rainier Aerial Aluronny (Over 1 year ago) Good pungt cloud, I have also some that were fine. Aluronny (Over 1 year ago) Would just like to tell you about what space there was on the shynten of rainbow in Norway. I have one that is Geotag from the site in Norway. inside Aluronny you can find many series from the Vega and around the island http://photosynth.net/search.aspx?q=blir% 20pissatrengt% 20av% 20% C3% B8l it is apselutt a necessity to take a trip to Nordland in Norway :) lots of lovely scenery. vega that these images is made in, contains ca6500 islands, islets and reefs, this is just one of many municipalities that this magnificent scenery. http://www.vega.kommune.no/Nordland/vega/vegak.nsf Please contact me if you find and travel to this magnificent place within, http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1143 more...

Mount Ranier LucAskAng (Over 1 year ago) 966? OMG. Good job. Spider-Schwein (Over 1 year ago) It is very impressiv. VsKb2012Photos (Over 1 year ago) Yes, what camera, how far did you zoom in, did you use a gigapan or something equal? douglas (Over 1 year ago) I'm amaze dhow well the clouds stitched together considering the images must have been taken over a long time frame, how long did it take you to shoot all of these pictures? Also some more details on the camera/lens you used would be interesting :-) TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Just a training - this Nisqually glacier is a popular place to do this. Ive run numerous practices there myself when instructing. more...

Svartifoss Waterfall, Iceland michaeldenis (Over 1 year ago) Contrast my photosynth of a pictograph in Canyonlands National Park: http://photosynth.net/embed.aspx?cid=d1ad7d29-b92c-44e3-ae72-893d12125051 versus simple synth that tends to prove the concept really well: http://photosynth.net/embed.aspx?cid=740a069e-c9f0-41a9-a043-0b93fc06d0a3 Your efforts on photosynth probably reach more towards proof of concept, I'd imagine, and therefore minimalism really does make sense. I was surprised to learn that you'd shot these shots at Skaftafell prior to PS's creation. Serves me right for only scanning the description... michaeldenis (Over 1 year ago) I see what you mean: Many photos confuse where few photos illuminate. What I'm noticing in my own work is the advantage of drilling into a photo by approaching an object and taking another photograph, and then repeating this approach five to ten times. Your point is well taken, though. What I would consider to be the best "statue synths" are those that follow a *single* circle of photos around an object (creating the donut orbis) and then, perhaps, come in through a single drilled path in order to get a lot of close-ups. My sense is that these 3D models are more difficult than the rock art or museum galleries to synth. Personally, I love shooting objects that have both possibilities in them: A long approach and a "end object" that looks good in close-up. I am just wrapping up a trip to Southeastern Utah and I've created a series of synths that should exemplify this type of approach. I'm writing from a hotel now, I'm afraid. Glad to catch your reply at last. TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) These photos were all taken in 2004, well before Photosynth was around, I spent alot of time going through my archives finding photos that would synth. While the results arent always as synthy, each shot was individually composed. If I had been taking with creating a synth in mind I definitely would have taken more photos. Im still undecided what makes a better experience though. A few well composed shots (like this synth) or a many many shots trying to cover all the angles, but without each photos getting individual consideration (example: http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=47bd42a1-f939-4bdb-b916-54c71a714fb5). What do you think? michaeldenis (Over 1 year ago) I can. That's what it's like, shown here by a great jump from an ultra-ultra wide shot to an up-close shot right ontop of the waterfall. I went here before I discovered Photosynth and that jump-step is top-notch, although I always wish you'd take about ten fold as many photos, Tony ;) jamescatz (Over 1 year ago) These photos are absolutely amazing. Can you just imagine being there in person? more...

The Tatoosh Range, Mount Rainier National Park Jason_Pontual (Over 1 year ago) Your photos are very beautiful, congratulations. more...

Shi Shi Beach At Sunset TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Always room for improvement, but I think ICE did OK here considering these were long exposures and the waves dont line up precisely Nathanael (Over 1 year ago) Does anyone on the Photosynth or ICE teams have RED cameras? I'd love to see the results of stills taken with them in low light. As beautiful as this is at a distance, the stitching is a bit rough around the edges in this case. Rick (Over 1 year ago) Tony, you are an amazing photographer. I can't wait to see what you will create and/or upload in the next few weeks. K (Over 1 year ago) wow! i've been meaning to go to shi shi, now i have to go. the only question is whether to haul the gigapan out there or not :) more...

Vertical World Rick (Over 1 year ago) Where are the climbers? It would be awesome to get this on a busy day and to get time-lapse photos of people working their way up. more...

Mount Baker Aerial gspaceman (Over 1 year ago) Wow! Great Synth!! Love the Point Cloud. Seems like a great concept for some mountaineering beta. Mister_Blondie (Over 1 year ago) Okay... now I'm wondering what I have to do to get work flying round in a plane shooting scenery... Kanga (Over 1 year ago) I see the new viewer fixes the copyright display. Does it still only use the 'Author' tags, rather than what's in the 'Copyright' field? Also, how is that uber-synth coming? Joshua (Over 1 year ago) This looks great! Nice work The.Rev (Over 1 year ago) Really cool point cloud. Loving it! more...

Iceberg, Wilhemina Bay, Antarctic Peninsula curtw (Over 1 year ago) I enjoy the block like nature of the iceberg..like the Olympics Ceremony with 1000's of little wavy lights. more...

Mount Rushmore Midopho (Over 1 year ago) Good job!keep it! 幹得好!保持下去! Shail (Over 1 year ago) Great..President's faces are recognizable from point cloud.. vonster89 (Over 1 year ago) cool synth! Almost like being there. Marvin (Over 1 year ago) Very nice. I think this is the best Mt. Rushmore synth I've seen so far. more...

Foyn Harbor Iceberg, Antarctic Peninsula MET360 (Over 1 year ago) Wonderful view! synthfeatured (Over 1 year ago) Great job! Congratulations on being chosen for the Photosynth front page. more...

Waved Albatross Colony, Galápagos Islands christoph_hausner (Over 1 year ago) They are so cute! :) more...

Curiosity Table, Ikh Nart Nature Reserve, Mongolia jimcseke (Over 1 year ago) A single photograph would never do this object justice. Wierd, strange, scary and beautiful. Thanks David (Over 1 year ago) I want a table built on ram's skulls too! more...

Goblins Gate, Elwha River, Olympic National Park, Washington jimcseke (Over 1 year ago) Was led to your synths by a comment made on another synth. I noticed in your bio that you are connected with Photosynth. Huge praise on this site! In my humble opinion this is one of the best sites on the internet. The planning for the whole creative, interactive and future evolution of Photosynth is "spot on". As long as this site remains (cross my fingers)and evolves, I hope to continue to use and enjoy it. And it's free! Please stay free! I remember in school, the art instructor telling us to "really" look at our subject. Get a feel for it from all angles and distances. Years ago, taking a photo, meant finding what you thought would be the best shot and then click. And you would hope for the best. Today, I have never taken so many shots of a single object. I am "really" looking at my subject, and I feel my photography has improved. But this site is not just about photography. I have wrote this before, but, thank you to all involved for this amazing site. more...

Double Rainbow Over The Dolomites Mister_Blondie (Over 1 year ago) Very nice. I notice that one particular picture fools photosynth into looking from 'behind' a rock face.. Zoom out all the way from the rainbow with 'o' and then press right a few times, first time I've seen that! David (Over 1 year ago) Tony "the amazing" does it again. Wow! Nathanael (Over 1 year ago) I really like the distinct edges on the right hand ridges. Beautiful shots of the bow and stormclouds as well. more...

Vulture Nest, Ikh Nart Nature Reserve, Mongolia madeeds (Over 1 year ago) This looks like an ostrich from the home image. more...

Glacier Point (Combined), Yosemite National Park, California Mister_Blondie (Over 1 year ago) Very true Tony.. I'd try for a nearby peak & see if you can get a large area to explore in the synth! Excellent synth, very good quality pictures. Keep it up :) TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Thanks for the compliment! And just think, these photos were all taken before photosynth was around. I can't wait to get back to Yosemite and take some photos with creating a synth as a goal. Should be quite amazing... edufendach (Over 1 year ago) Very nice work! The varied conditions on those two days help bring out details not otherwise seen. Individual pictures are well framed, and very nicely synthed together. Having been there 10=12 times over the years, this brings back a fine sense of place for me. Thanks for the time and effort to make one of the best synths I have seen. ED more...

The Steppe, Hustai National Park, Mongolia adam_mitchell55 (Over 1 year ago) I like the little bird sitting on the horse's back. Just hanging out there. more...

300,000 Pengiuns, South Georgia Island TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) I created an updated and improved version. http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=d14d7048-3c56-4118-84bc-91d0e2760096 Twice the photos, and much better color balancing, etc. BlueHippo (Over 1 year ago) Fantastic, really enjoyed looking through this synth. Thanks! curtisy1 (Over 1 year ago) thankyou for that wonderful show. Incrediblybeautiful. I thought I was watching NatGeo channel only I controlled the angle and closeups. Beautiful work. You are very gifted. Thankyou for sharing it with us. CliffBreedlove (Over 1 year ago) This is a very popular synth judging by the number of views. Nearly 2000! Shail (Over 1 year ago) Awesome synth..They seems to be populating at very high rate.. Lot many brown penguins can be seen more...

Lions On Kopje, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania rodrigoratan (Over 1 year ago) beatiful synths.. I geotagged mine! thanks for the tip more...

Sally Lightfoot Crab, Galápagos Islands Colorado2993 (Over 1 year ago) I like the detail. more...

Window Arch, City Of Rocks National Reserve, Idaho Colorado2993 (Over 1 year ago) Great 360. Jonathan (Over 1 year ago) very cool, Tony. David (Over 1 year ago) Bloody glorious Tony. dariusmonsef (Over 1 year ago) Awesome. Turned out really well. more...

Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, Iceland TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Tom, these were all taken from land. It's a rather large lake so there's plenty of shoreline to cover. There's never been a better time to visit Iceland than right now with the Kronur so devalued. It was REALLY expensive when I went back in 2004, especialy for gas. tbenedict (Over 1 year ago) Was all this done from shore? Or were you out on the water? This covers a lot of ground! I love the part about the picture being hung upside-down. Those are some remarkably strong reflections! (At least they didn't hang it sideways as an abstract.) I'm checking out your other Iceland synths. That's been high on my list of places to visit for years, but I've never made it out there. TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Fred, I took these photos in 2004 with my first digital SLR the Canon 300D (6MP). The lenses used were a Canon 17-40L for the wide shots, and a Canon 100-400L for the detail shots. You can find exposure info for some of the images in this synth by clicking the thumbnails on the Jökulsárlón page on my website: http://tonyernst.com/gallery.aspx?gallery=joot Fred_Oxford (Over 1 year ago) Tony, what camera and lens did you use on this? TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Anigizz, if Im translating this correctly your asking if I took all these photos myself. The answer is yes. I've been lucky enought to be able visit some amazing places. more...

Gullfoss Waterfall, Iceland TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) And by the way, you need to start adding some favorites! I just looked and you've only favorited 2 synths :-) TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) Thanks for the compliments Tom. I've been going through my archives and creating synths of anything I have more than 10 shots of. This means that none of the images were taken with photosynth in mind, and therefore each was composed separately. In my head creating photosynths and taking individual photos are two different tasks. With my newer synths I've made a conscious effort to document the place with a couple panos from every direction to create a "scaffold" and then take my time and compose individual images to provide the detail - and as a bonus these usually work well as highlights. tbenedict (Over 1 year ago) It's a real treat going through your synths. Most of the ones I've done have been "full coverage" style, with big panoramas covering all the angles, but not focusing on any one thing. Looking at yours, it's obvious you're composing each shot to be a still photo in and of itself. Moving through the synth is a lot more like looking through a photography book. Way more artistic. The last highlight, the one of the spray from the falls, is gorgeous. more...

Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park, California douglas (Over 1 year ago) I think you are the undisputed king of 100% synthy synths :-) As usual another set of awesome photos, keep them coming. Mark. more...

Shoshone Falls, Idaho dariusmonsef (Over 1 year ago) Wow, without the doves I never would have guessed the scale of this waterfall. more...

Kerið Crater, Iceland Nathan (Over 1 year ago) Crater lakes always look so cool, nice photos Tony. TonyErnst (Over 1 year ago) There's no active hydrothermal activity to warm the water at all, and when I was there in midsummer the air temp was only about 60 degrees F. But if you don't mind being a little chilly I dont think there's any reason you couldn't take a dip if so inclined. dariusmonsef (Over 1 year ago) Swimmable water? more...

Nisqually Glacier, Mount Rainier National Park Faister (Over 1 year ago) amazing, how did you do it, taking 500 photos, or did you have a camera mounted on your helmet? :P K (Over 1 year ago) well done! the highlights are great for explaining what everything is. i love that you can see mt. st. helens in the point cloud. more...

Beaver Eating Lily Pads David (Over 1 year ago) Absolutely amazing. Congratulations. more...

Kelp On Beach, Paparoa National Park, New Zealand crrrl (Over 1 year ago) I love the texture and detail - very cool! more...

Gold Harbor Icebergs, South Georgia Island K (Over 1 year ago) Those are cool. I've only seen small bergs up in the Arctic ocean. You might be able to get the detail shots to synth if you create crops of the wide angle shots and include them in the synth. The wide angles should match the cropped versions and hopefully the detail shots will also match the crops. It's worth a shot, I've been able to make it work in the past. more...

The Painted Hills, Oregon winashha (Over 1 year ago) Orait, that's good, I like it ! Herbanico (Over 1 year ago) sorry! to know a subject Herbanico (Over 1 year ago) to know a sunject gevenstaines (Over 1 year ago) wowowowow. this is my favorite synth. good job.
