This is the same location as all of these, [link] [link] [link] [link], only it's a much wider view of the inside.

This used to be a schoolhouse (this is the only room in the building) and you can see parts of the blackboard on the right hand wall.

And if any of you don't know about these types of images, no I was not on the ceiling looking down with a fish eye lens. I was standing in the center of this image, taking pictures about 5 feet off the ground. The way this is manipulated makes it seem like a view from above.



I originally shot 3 different exposures, to try and compensate for the high dynamic range (dark shadow areas and bright windows), but converting all 96 images to 32 bit PSD files and then merging them all into a panoramic was too much for my computer, and I ran out of scratch disc.

Anyway, this turned out alright, except for the overblown windows.

Let me know what you think :)



For anyone wanting to know how to do this, you can see a tutorial here.

And here is a video tutorial I made showing how to make these

You can see more of these here :)

ah, i've been wondering how interior would look like with this technique. very nice. and how about the ones where the ground is taking up the outside? what's the difference there?

Interior places can look pretty cool, although it can be a lot herder, since the outside (what would normally be sky) can be harder to blend together. The ones where things are flipped, and the sky is in the center and the ground is at the edges, is pretty easy to do. All you do is you don't rotate the panoramic before you apply the polar coordinates filter :)

Are they working on it? The roof looks like it was recently redone.

Yup the roof was recently fixed up, although I haven't seen anyone working on it for quite a while. So they might have just done that to keep it from falling apart, or maybe someone was going to buy it to use for something, then backed out.

Anyway, it had some newish support beams (the metal ones in the corners) and a new roof, but that was the only sign of work done to it.

Interesting, it might have been done just before the housing bust or something. I hope they eventually fix it up, I'd hate to see it be torn down.

Haha, yeah I tend to go way overboard when I shoot panoramics, meaning I overlap quite a bit.

So I probably could have done this with as few as 40 or so pictures, but I had the memory space, so may as well be safe =P


Thanks for the comments :)
