[edit] Segmented Panos

Looks like it's getting crowded in that section with the new vertical image in there. Suggestions? -Roguegeek 2006-03-25

[edit] London Eye

While this is a nice photograph, it shows many stitching artifacts (may be difficult to avoid in this case). I think this article should display some of the best contemporary examples of panoramic photography, unless we're specifically talking about problems, so I'm moving it here. If someone thinks this article needs another panoramic picture to replace it, I believe this one would be a goodEloquence* 20:11, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fish Eye and Full Sphere Lenses

What about fish eye and other similar lenses used to create panoramic photographhy? I know these are used but don't know enough about them to create and entry. Anyone??

I wouldn't call that panoramic photography. A panorama (IMHO) is long and narrow. Of course, you can shoot a wide-angle view and crop that into a panorama, as is actually done with the fixed-lens cameras - you record only a strip of the total image circle the lens produces. --Janke | Talk 16:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tools to create Panoramas (stitching tools)

This [last Edit] by Mordani who seems to busy at the moment adding links to his own Google site is a complete dublette to his [other edit session on Panorama], see my comment on that article's talk page. I see that a link to the image stitching page is missing in the "Segmented" section, I could add that. Should I first revert Mordani's changes here? And please excuse me for using "external linking" here, I didn't find out yet how to markup internal links to diffs correctly.--Einemnet 14:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

There is a page here on the Wikipedia called Panorama Software that has nothing to do with panorama photography. John Spikowski 21:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

A discussion about merging this article with Panorama was started on the other talk page. I suggest to discuss there. Einemnet 07:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I think this page should be keep and improved on as the top level introduction to panorama photography which links all the sub topics using the Category:Panorama_Photography category. John Spikowski 08:23, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Melvin Vaniman

If anyone reading this is well informed about the history of panoramic photography, please look at Melvin Vaniman and his talk page, where a question about his technique arises. -- Hoary (talk) 10:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
