Test panorama, shot today while on the clock for Everyscape, inc. www.everyscape.com.

This will never see the light of day as it was shot for testing purposes, but this is my friend Justin and his red hat in the workplace. The black mess at the bottom is parts of the tripod and the hole in the pano left by the tripod itself. This is the part of the office where the elevator dumps you and also where one might go to make a phone call. Note the color scheme. Viva Brasil.

the fall

In no particular order, this is the best of what I shot during the fall. All images were shot on color film with a Mamiya RB67 or a Pentax 67.

This bottom one was shot with a Canon 10-22, as opposed to the Sigma 8mm fisheye I've been using for these other ones. Less warp but more shots needed. Also it's 180 degrees instead of 360, HDR of 15 shots (5 directions 45 degrees apart, 3 exposures each).

I have more of these... I shot a couple inside the factory with the 10-22 lens but have to mess with PTGui some more to get the stitching right.

Many thanks to Andy (pictured), who let me into the High Magnetic Pressure Lab (middle) and also onto the roof.

I'm excited about these. I've seen literally millions of photos like these in the last year and a half, in various stages of processing/disarray and I've always thought they looked sort of interesting in the 2-D form (they are meant to be wrapped, spherical panoramas in a viewer, a la Google Street View). This format gives me way more options than I'm used to dealing with, and there's a lot to think about as everything in the room is in the photo. While they aren't difficult to shoot or process, I have to be able to think about how it's going to look, which is very strange as this is obviously not the way my eyes see. Right now I've been lucky enough to stumble into a couple of rooms that are already totally fucking crazy... so I'm in search of interesting spaces to do this in. Tomorrow I'm shooting a diaper factory.
