Fareham — Feb 11th 2017
We had 10 people including one guest who (whisper it quietly) was from the other side - a ""doze" and Android phone user.
Derek's topic for the meeting was based around panorama images.
Much to all the smart phone users surprise it was discovered that the smart phone could take panoramic or widescreen pictures. Lots of fun ensued as all the smart phone users started taking panorama pictures.
Derek then explained why he is interested in Panoramas, mainly die to a miss spent youth watching Circle-Vision 360, Cinerama and other large screen offerings. He compensates for not having a Circle-Vision 360 system in his house by stitching together groups of still photographs using either Photoshop or Lightroom, (Other products are available) to produce images that are very wide.
A stitching demo was carried out by merging 13 pictures taken from the top of The Tate Modern new extension looking to St Paul's Cathedral, (photos taken on the 20th January 2017).
The next stage was to enable the viewer to look around the panorama by zooming in and out of the picture and moving from side to side. This was done using Pano2VR (again other products are available).
The picture taken at the meeting while the members were exploring Panorama mode on their Smart phone was also similarly processed.
