In 2001, I went through a stage of taking all kinds of QTVR images after getting a free stitching program from a CD with Digit magazine. Soon afterwards, I bought Apple's QuickTime VR Studio software (which has never been orphaned and replaced by better and less expensive tools like the programs Gareth demonstrated on Tuesday. As you will see, I didn't have one of those fancy nodal adapters for a tripod. I don't own a tripod to this day. And I had a pretty crappy (by today's standard) Olympus fully automatic digital camera, so couldn't change the exposure to match. And I didn't and still don't know Ye Olde Photoshoppe well enough to do the necessary adjusting on screen. Or maybe I'm just too lazy.


Excuses, excuses. Nonetheless taking these were a lot of fun! Prepare yourself for lots of parallax errors.

  • B52.mov- Taken 18/07/2001 at Duxford.
  • Don and Gerry's Dock - Taken 16/06/2001 at the end of Don & Gerry Smith's Dock on Lake Waverly, Minnesota. I lived next door from 1971 to 1976 and have the most fond memories of my childhood while living there.
  • Litlle Waverly Dam - Taken 14/06/2001. Google Map View.
  • John Etheridge and Sweet Chorus - Taken 15/07/2001 at Jazz by the Stour in Bures, Suffolk. John Etheridge's site is here.
  • Jack Bruce and the Cuicoland Express - Taken 18/06/2001 at the Jazz Café in Camden during their sound check. Guitar - Vernon Reid, Hammond Organ - Bernie Worrell.
  • Duxford Air Museum Main Hangar - Taken 18/07/2001. Shame I didn't get some better photos of the SR-71 Blackbird! I must go back!
  • Stour Valley Walk in Sudbury - Taken 20/01/2001 on one of the ex-railway bridges over the Stour River in Sudbury, Suffolk.
  • The Ship and Star - Taken 1/12/2000 at the Ship and Star. Those present - Jash Jamieson (sporting a very nice parallax error hairstyle), Jon Grandin, and the landlord George Wackett. George and Julia should be taken out and shot for turning this pub into a block of flats.
  • Broadway and Illinois Central in Centralia - Taken 27/10/2000. When I was a teenager, this used to be such a busy street.
  • Kaha Pass, Near the border of County Cork and County Kerry in the Republic of Ireland - Taken in August 2000. This was the first (and I think last) pano that I'd ever done by using a traditional SLR. I think it was probably one of the last sets of photos I took with my Pentax K1000. Google Maps says it's about here.

Hi All,
I uploaded a couple of pano QTVR files in the Google Group area, but
felt I needed to provide a bit more narrative for them. So if you go to
the link at the end of this message you can look at the library of pano
QTVRs so far.
This page is editable by any member so you can build up the MMUG
library and tell us a bit more about the files you upload.
