Sackler science building, Clark University.

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.

panoramas


These have to be seen bigger, for sure. Click on images for larger version.

I got a new cell phone not too long ago that automatically stitches panoramas; been screwing around with it for a while... got a new job long enough ago that entirely revolves around panoramas, and I've been alternately bored to tears and learning something new for 18 months. I started shooting these for the company over the summer.

So I shot these the same way I would shoot something for work, besides cropping part of the ceiling and floor out, and of course, shooting a non-business setting and processing the image the way I wanted to. These are HDR panoramas, made from 24 exposures and a 360 degree rotation of the camera. This is the entire room, minus the middle of the floor and the middle of the ceiling. I like the idea of applying a technical, formulaic photography process that I learned at work to a more personal project with fewer limitations... these two are test panos, a chance to feel out some pirated software and see what I can do when I'm not staring at the clock.
