I also subscribe to the Christmas is shit theory. Especially because a motherfucking seagull pinched my quarter pounder out of my hand as I was eating it in the cathedral square on christmas day.

Grim, check your email. You're probably not going into work today. You're still at the Uni right?

being a girly swot and going in to the uni library over the hols to get books & journal articles for my sports research turns out to have been rather prescient...
wouldn't like to try and find anything in there at the moment...


Had it happened a few hours later, I would have been in that library studying :/
There were cleaners in there at the time. When power came back on during Saturday arvo all the vacuum cleaners which were still plugged in fired into life lol.
I've been manning the BBQ at Facilities Management on campus the past couple of days. Some interesting stories around campus. Big cracks in granite in the law building, Chemistry absolutely trashed and flooded thanks to a broken water pipe.

nice work there, you've certainly got the eye for panos :)
I find a tripod is only necessary if you're being absolutely pedantic about lining everything up or you're in a low-light/long exposure situation and have shaky hands :p

For those who are wondering, it's a corner/lookout at the lower end of the otira viaduct on the road to the west coast.


I'm more so wondering the way to took it? Wide angle lens?


That was on a 5mp panasonic point & shoot. I took a series of overlapping images and stitched them together using panoramic software

I need to explore new areas around Banks Peninsula to explore.

You might want to try the Smartblend plugin for PTGui


Thanks mate,

Installed smartblend and panoramatools, saved all points so just re-rendering now. See what sort of results I get.


Awesome! I look forward to seeing if you get some improved results :)

Panorama taken at the top of Stony Bay Pass Road. 44 photos stitched to make a 360° Panorama. Still a little bit of work to do in the sky, but is a MASSIVE file to work on.

This is a lowrez higly compressed jpeg version, roughly 2.5% of the full size image. The full size image you can see the boats in Akaroa Harbour, which is the bay closest to the bottom in the sun glare.

WARNING IT IS BIG (in pixels), if you want to view full-size I suggest downloading it.
