While visiting some folks in San Francisco this weekend, shizam lent me his 1DmkIII, which was very very cool of him. I was playing with the high speed shutter settings and was amazed at how fast it was. Also, the weather was "so-so" according to the locals :rofl so I went outside to see if I could do a 360º speed pano.
So, using devbobo's technique with Shizam's camera at Aktse's house I was able to do this: click for larger version

Now all you have to do is print it out and wrap it around your head and you'll feel like you're back in San Francisco

In the amount of time it takes you to spin around in a circle without falling over. I would guestimate that it took about 10-15 seconds? And I'm on the wrong computer right now, I'll look up the xif data when I get a chance.

So... how long did it take to process?

And the weather was so-so :-) It rained the day you came in, cloudy and cold the other day, and the sun only came out for your last two days.

And I can't believe the frame rate of the 1DmkIII -- who needs google street! Just mount the 1DmkIII and you're good to go! :wink

A great idea! This is so the way to go. Way cheaper than moving there. :lol3

Dunno, we were out with you and then I let it flatten over night. But that was on my ancient MBP.

Yeah, I'm going to agree with the previous replies :D

Okay. I did a search and could not find the Speed Pano (TM) technique. Can someone enlighten me?

I left a dollar on the fridge and a cold beverage or two in it.:thumb

Ok. A speed pano is just a pano shot quickly. Without benefit of a tripod.
Just point, shoot, rotate, repeat.

Thanks Ian, I had my poker game tonight and didn't see this until just now.

Yes, this pano was taken by putting the camera on High-speed burst, and then holding the shutter down while spinning in a circle. As it was 27 frames shot on a 1DmkIII I'm guestimating that it took me ~2.7 seconds to spin 385ish degrees. I just put it on AV priority and SPUN! :thumb :thumb It's fun, but takes a LONG time to process on my old G4 PowerBook. Just let it run over night. :D

So what software are you using to process? I assume it automatically finds the edges and does the stitching for you?

Man -- last time I did a pano I used the craptastic panoramic software that comes with Canon P&S cameras.

Thanks. I know it won't work on my PowerShot 950 as it is not fast enough... but the XTi might just get a try soon.

A speed pano is just that. Do it with the 950.

Here. Try this with the 9-fiddy. Take a two row pano, three or four across
from the seat of the bike. Import to CS3 and stitch away. You won't be
disappointed.

So I could not get the motorcycle in the hotel room but took this pano (http://bradfordbenn.smugmug.com/gallery/4670707_9qGfa#275970808_L9yLX-A-LB). Can you find Smuggy?
