Week 17-18 - 2003 Fullscreen of the Week Heinkel Vintage Bubble Cars in Lengerich Germany Anyone remember the bubble cars from the 1950s and 60s The most popular were produced by the famous German aircraft manufacturers, Messerschmitt and Heinkel. They were sold all around the world and today many clubs for enthusiasts of these microcars are found in England, Germany and everywhere else where they were sold. The small city of Lengerich is in Westfalen in the north west part of Germany. From this area Helmut Kölbach´s website Stadtpanoramen shows panoramas from more than 20 cities. They can all be seen as Java panoramas and a few of them are now also available as fullscreen both as Quicktime VR and Java Links: Week 16 - 2003 Fullscreen of the Week This weeks fullscreen shows what is said to be the most famous 20th century building in the world. On the new Architecture page you will easy find all Architecture fullscreens from the archive and also links to other VR sites specializing in Architecture. The Sydney Opera House in Australia is perhaps the most famous modern building in the world. Last Sunday the Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who designed it was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the most prestigious award you can get as an architect. A famous architect has to be presented by a famous Photographer and Andrew Nemeth is in the VR community just as well recognized as Jørn Utzon is among the architects. As a pioneer in VR Photography he invented his own technics for stitching panoramas from full frame fisheye images just using Photoshop and the free Panorama tools plugin. The panoramas from Sydney was created already in 1997-1998 and are featured by Adobe at their Gallery. Read about Andrew at Adobe. Just pick your language. English DE ES FR IT Chinese DK SE NO FI At his website 4020 you can see images and Java VR from his production with Andrew´s very well written comments and at nemeng.com you can see a detailed description of the technics behind his panoramas. Andrew´s VR often also contains ambient sound and so does the VR from Manly Ferry. The sound loads at last and needs Quicktime 6 but the panorama will load without sound also with Quicktime 5. The Fullscreen movie is 2,9 mb in download with sound and will take some while to load if you have a modem connection. However I can guarantee you it is worth it. Here is a tip for 56 k users: Load the fullscreen page, let it load in the background while you read about Andrew at Adobe or Utzon and the prize. The links are also on the fullscreen page, just scroll down.

Donald Bain from Virtual Guidebooks Don Bain is one of the veterans not just with QTVR but also with images on the internet. In 1994 when the WorldWide Web still was young, he founded the Geo-Images Project, one of the first image based web sites on the Internet. The gole was to provide images easy available for teaching geography. The White Sands is also called the White Sands Desert but this is not a desert of sand but a desert of gypsum, actually it is the world`s largest gypsum dune field. Don Bain writes: The dunes are famous for their intense whiteness, but when I was there in mid-winter the sand was damp and pale tan, contrasting with patches of pure white snow. I hiked south from the road until I was alone and waited for the sunset. It was windless, absolutely silent, and the feeling of immense open space was overwhelming.

Week 14 - 2003 Fullscreen of the Week Niagara Cascade at Reunion Island by Hervé Douris This is what Hervé Douris alias Romuald V says about this weeks Fullscreen: At least 15.000 km away from the world famous Niagara Falls, and 10.000 km from Niagara site in South New Zealand, this Niagara waterfall is located in Reunion Island, 1.500 km east from east Africa. The Sainte-Suzanne River has its sources inside a rain forest called "Plaine des Fougères" (Fern-trees plain), around 1.500 m height. Then the flood grow up and jump from cliff to cliff down to Niagara cascade in a 13 km long trip. This is the last waterfall of the river. Downstream, it quitely meanders through sugar-cane fields in the shadow of high bamboo groves before reaching the Indian Ocean. The spot is well known by tourists visiting the island and all nature lovers. It's a great place for abseiling and the 50 meters basalt cliff is also frequented by free climbers. Those who have followed the Fullscreens through last year may remember Hervé Douris for his aerial view of With a handheld digital SLR we can shoot quality fullscreen panoramas in the middle of a crowd of people or like Hervé did last Thursday when he made this weeks panorama, standing in the stream in front of the waterfall with his Nikon D1x only 25 cm from the surface. The panorama was stitched using PTmac Links: View more panoramas by Hervé Douris at his website |
