Heya Tony. Good to see you around.

Woo, some sweet lookin' stuff in the NYC gallery.

In France I'm most intrigued by whay you are doing to... it's not strictly
blurring.. remove detail.

Hey, the Views are great. I'll send that on to my Pa. I'm particularly
engrossed in the tree right now. (Or maybe it's _a_ tree).

Though, I did have to shrink my browser down to get the proper experience. I
like using the mousewheel for multidirectional panning on these. I find it
very natural.

In the full spirit of reciprocity, let me point you at my cubes

Tony! These are exquisite! I'm only half way through your gallery and
need to rest and ponder what I have seen there so far. I have been
lingering over the pieces and absorbing them one by one. The phrase "more
than meets the eye" comes to mind. The thumbnails do not do the works
justice. They mislead by looking, compositionally, rather like mundane but
colourful snapshots. But to those who are willing to forgive that and click
through to the actual work of art, they are quickly rewarded by some truly
breathtaking images. I am overwhelmed by your generosity in sharing these
images freely to others. Thankyou!

(and you can quote me on that!) :)

The tree# 2 totally blows me away. It pans very well at 1600X1200
resolution.
Is this a totally created piece or modified from a photo. I didn't save it
or resize it to study because the mystique is in the way you set it up. It
works almost as a VR type file.

Thanks for sharing,

Hi there. Nice to hear from you as well.

The "Tree Views" are all panoramas, shot originally in infrared and then
restored to give a golden-brown, or greenish look. They were all shot
handheld, at about 1/30 sec with a Sony F707. They had as many as 18
images as it's difficult to gauge the overlap when judging by eye.

The interesting thing about Tree View #2 and some of the others is that
they include both the tree in front of me and the tree behind me as
well, which took a lot of concentration during the shooting.

The shots of NYC (NYC -At War) were done four days after 9-11, the first
day that the public was allowed into lower Manhattan.

I took a look at the cubes on your site. Nifty. Let's see more.

Tom,

Thanks for the kind words.

Tree #2 is a vertical panorama of about 18 shots that includes the tree
in front and the tree behind as well. Although there are special tripod
heads for this sort of thing, I prefer to shoot handheld so I feel a
connection with what I am shooting. The trees are in Central Park.

I'll be posting more of these Views on this page:

Seanna,

Thanks for the kind words, and I may just take you up on your offer for
the quotation.

As for the thumbnails, it was a real problem of what to show. I feel
that these large images contain surprises that you discover while
exploring them. To show a thumbnail of the entire image might give this
away, so I tried a thumbnail that's just a clue about what you might
find. Sort of a photographic "Where's Waldo?"

I haven't thought of any alternatives yet, but I'm working on it.

I always shoot w/ about half frame overlap. Put the center focus on some
element that was on the edge. Gives me more to work w/. especially important
since my skills w/ Painter's perspective correction tools aren't so good.
