   Here is my competition entry.

   http://www.16th-floor.nl/project/flash360_krpanocompetition/

   It may not seem like an incredible pano at first glance, but if you realize that not only the boat I was on was moving in all angles but also all the other boats in the panorama, maybe then you can imagine why it took me almost 3 days to stitch the exteriour panorama.

   Well anyway I’m proud of this work and hope you will be impressed enough to award it first prize

   Hey John:

   OK, I already purchased krpano, and I don’t need hosting… but thought I’d submit anyway.

   Here’s a pano from the wayback machine, ca. Spring 2003. My friend Peggy had come to San Francisco from Seattle, with her comedy troupe “Bald Faced Lie”.

   We hooked up at the Red Room, and I used my Coolpix 5000 with the 8mm adapter lens to shoot a panorama there. You can count how many times each person is in the panorama… I remember those exposures being incredibly weird and long, because the light in the Red Room is minimal, and it’s, well, red.

   Enjoy it at:

   Cheers,

   2 months earlier, this contest would have been just what I needed for my big virtual tour project. If I win, I might convert it to krpano after all

   This one was taken 2 weeks ago at a medival games festival, I got a few of the show-fighers for a pano together, rest of the group (aka the losers ) were to beaten up to pose for a pano

   Enjoy:

   One of my weirdest pano:

   http://www.360vt.be/lauren

   I builded this pano together with a friend/model photographer, Tom and the young model Lauren. Tom took the pictures that lies on the floor.
   Lauren poses for some famous Belgian child cloth brands and dancing is one of here other skills. Watch here father acting as here bodyguard while listening to his Ipod. When you click on his mirror image, a funny sketch with Tom will be deployed.

   Hi all,
   some cool stuff going on here. I wasn’t going to do any pano work today, but what can I say, I am a pano head. I found a small stick-on , badge style convex mirror in a Dollar store for 1 Dollar and had my 3 ounce pano maccina with me! So I had to do it! Especially when I had read this prior this morning…

   A ‘one shot’ mirror panorama remapped the old fashioned way with PTadjust in Photoshop. Enjoy some simple weirdness….

   This spring I had the occation to climb on top of a windmill. Arriving at the location we had at first a thunderstorm, but after the weather cleared it was exiting to climb up to the tower - a first and timid look outside the cabin - but once I grabbed the monopod and the camera it was great feeling to be nearly 80 meters over the ground on the small cabin roof.

   On August 25th, 2006, I decided to try something wacky. I had just bought a brand new running shoe and wanted to do a VR inside it. I used a custom plated mirror ball and created this baby:

   Hope this submission bags me a prize

    This contest runs for ever, so let’s pop in another post in favour of krpano (Klaus - finish that GUI!!!!)

    This scenery was made for modelflight-simulation. Embedding a flash-movie was a test to combine the virtual reality with video.

    Okay… here is another VR submission. This VR isn’t a place at all… It’s a dancer… Check it out ! ! !

    Ok,

    here’s mine:
    http://www.panoclub.de/movs/dahlem/inside/

    This was during my very first flight with a glider. First the pilot was so kind to do his very best to fly very smooth. After the pano he attempted to cruzify me with loopings and such things. Sorry for not having done a pano during a looping - that might be the logical next step

    best, mike

    Hi there!
    I think, I’ve got avery special panorama. Who else can say he’s done a panorama on a raft he built together with some friends? We were not quite shure if it would carry 10 persons but it did. So this panorama was shot on a (very fast travelling) raft during my scout summer-camp on the “Ottensteiner Stausee” in Austria. Tripod head: Rope with weight, handheld.
    Hope you like it!
    Cheers, Christian

    Hello,
    since my 1. contribution somewhat vanished I´ll give the second a try.

    http://www.netzserver1.de/pg8/index.php?datei=pano-playmate4-8&region=Photokina08&version=ImmervisionPlayer

    Short: http://tinyurl.com/3n3qyd

    During the “Playmate Shooting” on the Photokina.
    Looks as if the photographer and his model are positioned into a painting though.

    Hope it´s intersting enough

    Ciao
