Mini Planet - Churchby `electricjonny

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Other

You guys must be getting sick of these by now

lol, anyway, I was thinking of how to mix these up and try new things, and I thought I would try an indoor Mini Planet. Then I tried to think of a good place to shoot, and I thought about a big shopping mall, but I was pretty sure they wouldn't let me spend an hour with a tripod taking pictures in the store

So since it was Sunday when I shot this, my parents were getting back from church and I thought that would be the perfect place try this. My parents church is fairly new, and I thought it had a nice mixture of architecture (another of my favorite things to photograph) and peaceful surroundings.

So I gave it a shot, and it worked pretty well for not ever doing an indoor Mini Planet before. The only thing I wish I could have done differently would be to have shot this with the ceiling lights on. I spent about 20 minutes looking all over for the switches or dimmers or whatever controls them, and didn't find anything. Oh well, it gives it a more quiet feel, which sort of works since the church is empty.

Anyway, there's another (older) church I might try out later, since I think this one worked out pretty well.

This Mini Planet was shot with 180 images. Shooting 360 degrees horizontal and about 90 degrees vertical, then stitching it into a panoramic.

I'd appreciate any comments or critiques you might have

180 images.

My computer couldn't handle 20.

Looks fantastic!

`electricjonny May 31, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

Haha, well it was only 180 degrees across. The total images I used in this shot was 132, although I overshot things quite a bit. It's just a bad habit from my old days shooting panoramas

Thanks for the comment

`PatrickRuegheimer Jun 1, 2010 Photographer

Must have taken a lot of time to make 132 in the church.

No Problems.

`electricjonny Jun 1, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

Oh, sorry. I thought this was a comment on my most recent mini planet, not this one specifically

But yes, this was 180 photos. Not 132 that I originally said. Sorry about that, I've been up for a while and I'm sort of tired right now

`PatrickRuegheimer Jun 1, 2010 Photographer

No Problems.

When I was taking panoramas I made about 3 shots.

I so fail.

`electricjonny Jun 1, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

Haha

That's not failing, it's just not taking it as far as you could have

Panoramas can be rather scary and hard, but I find that it doesn't really matter how many you make, it's more about how good they are

`PatrickRuegheimer Jun 1, 2010 Photographer

Indeed, but to be honest I don't really have any good places to take panormas imo. :<
Well, I won't bother you anylonger.

I look forward to see moar planets from you.

`electricjonny Jun 1, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

Hehe, I don't mind replies from people

And for locations, it can sometimes be hard to find good spots, but just take a careful look around; you'll find that there's tons of good spots to take panoramas
