Another 360 pano of the old house at the pool area. Pretty bor­ing, but this was taken with the DSC-F828. No pano head was used, so par­al­lax error is par­tic­u­larly notice­able. Look straight down and you’ll really see the errors.

Need to build a pano head now.

I’ve gone and stitched together a whole bunch of pho­tos that I took when in NZ a year ago. They were taken with an El’ Cheapo 3MP cam­era, so they’re pretty fuzzy.

Farm stay holiday

This pano was taken around 2001 of a farm stay hol­i­day that our bible study group went on. I can’t remem­ber where this was, but when I do I’ll put a google maps reference.

I like pho­tos that cap­ture a moment of someone’s char­ac­ter — my son off in a day dream.
