Panorama: Snow Over Pyramid Lake

Andy and I drove up to Frazier Park on Saturday to let the kids experience the arctic storm. On the way up we stopped at Pyramid Lake for lunch. The temperature was hovering around freezing, and every once in a while we got a sprinking of snow. Click to view the QuickTime VR panorama taken from the shore of the lake:

I shot JPEGs to avoid filling up the camera’s memory card, but that turned out to be a mistake since I forgot to set the white balance. As a result, the photos all came out really blue, and even after adjusting it in Photoshop, the colors are still a little off.

World Wide Panorama: Beginnings

The World Wide Panorama is an occasional online event that features photographic panoramas in QuickTime VR format. The theme this time is beginnings. For my entry, I photographed some of the earliest structures in Ventura, which are on the site of the San Buenaventura Mission. On my way there, I stopped at Lowe’s with a trunk full of power tools and fashioned myself a panoramic tripod head adapter. It’s just a stick with bolts sticking out of it so you can attach your camera to the tripod with an offset along the lens axis. In theory this should reduce the effects of parallax when you pan the camera around. It worked pretty well. Most of the level photos matched up better than they have in the past. When I pitched the camera up or down, however, the parallax returned. You can tell on this panorama that the further you move down, the worse the stitching gets. I scrapped it and built a new two axis tripod head that should work much better.
