NMC Conference Center panorama
Posted on: August 13, 2007This week, Ravi and I are teaching photography classes at the New Media Consortium's Symposium on Creativity in Second Life. It's going well and we are the type of people who're thrilled to impart our knowledge.
I flew up above the party during the opening reception (incidentally, my video tutorials are being placed 'round the circle in the middle) and captured this. My panorama software didn't auto-align it, and that's alright — I prefer the artistic effect this curve gives.
I boosted saturation and added gradient fades in Photoshop to bring out depth.
I think amongst all the panoramas I've done, this is one of my faves. And like all of them, be sure to click-through to view at full size. This is loaded with details!

Cool pic Torley! Building any panoramic shot like this is brilliant opportunity for artistic impression, as you HAVE to bend reality to fit that much of it onto a flat image. It might have started with a happy failure on the part of your image stitching software, but with some colour richness and filtering you ended up with a very Dali-esque view of a gorgeous build. I may play with some panaromic and distorted views of big builds myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

@Wolf: Let me know what you come up with, and you're welcome! I have many "happy accidents" and like to make the best of them.
