One of many 360 degrees panoramas I have a habit of making when walking around the city. I takes about 34 images to turn around and do two rows (one front and one front up). No tripods, only handheld, about two seconds for a shot. One minute for all. Time for rendering? About two-three hours for a full resolution image, about 2-3 minutes for smaller 5.000 pixels the long side version. That latter sounds OK with me, I hope in future, there will be faster computers and better soft.
No cars? A very rare moment - sunday morning. And with partial shooting we can cheat the audience - i shoot when there are no cars in the frame. So that even when the street is packed with moving cars we can portray it empty!
Sun in the lens, overcontrasty scene? PS SC3 RAW converter makes wonders.

Hi Val,
I like this pano very much and I'm glad you gave you wrote about the way you do panos. I hope to try this some time but I'm going to have to really study your explanations thoroughly before. I don't mind the sun at all and am amazed that you were able to include it so well. I find the image a bit contrasty but that's reasonable because of the inclusion of the sun. Is it possible, though, to reduce the contrast here with PS CS 3? Also, do you think that the CS 3 upgrade is necessary to buy soon in the case of someone like me who is not terribly adept at CS2?

Just curious do you put the image together manually or with photomerge in photoshop? I know I do all mine manually.
