This is about a pair of nice hand-crafted Joop! shoes. It’s leather is so soft that I inevitably needed to make an object movie about it. I just can’t stand it, you know. And after ca. 10 hours of poking around with Photoshop, here is it! The objext movie was made of 2X36 images, there’s a separate row for both positions. Btw., here you can see the Quicktime version. Enjoy it!

This picture is a not-so-official panorama, it wasn’t amongst the panoramas
which was in the handout. By the way, I hope you’ve got all the stuff I gave
to Mr. Bela Markus on the day I left. It is very bad that no one left here a
feedback or some words about my lecture. I thought that it was interesting,
by every indication during the lecture it was at least interesting for some of you.

Me and my girlfriend arrived just a day before you, and I had the difficult
task to compile the whole stuff for the lab part of the day. (I’ve prepared the
presentation about a week before, so that was ready a long ago.)
First we went trough the center to select the appropriate locations for the
panoramas, then took the source pictures and went back to stitch it together.
I needed to make all the stitching, at least I had a reference Hugin project file
if something goes wrong. These you could even download from here!

After that I’ve uploaded all the source images to the lab computers. In the lab
there was only Wi-Fi connection, and it turned out that it is unsuitable for
copying multiple Gbytes of data over it. So I burned some DVDs, and spread
the stuff with the help of these disks. It was very hot in that lab, the air condition
broke down, and the whole process took the half of saturday. Fortunately I’ve
finished with it at 8 pm, and after that I could have some beer at the icebreaking party.

By the way, the third glass on the desk is a fake, we had only 1 beer per head.
I just could retouch it from the final panorama, as I don’t have a source picture of the
background without the glass.

I’ve jittered a little bit, because I usually don’t speak english.
Fortunately this was gone at the first 5 minutes, and I realized
that those 2 years reading english technician papers and scientific
materials helps me a lot.

For the lecture I’ve prepared everyhting, but one thing. The fact,
that you can see me at the podium in this panorama, is due to the
photographs taken by my girlfriend and assistant Eszter Kallai. I’ve
forgotten namely about the picture from myself.

A kind guy called Suchin has asked me at the end of the lecture:

“What if I forget to take a picture, or something went wrong with stitching?”

Suddenly I couldn’t respond with a good enough answer, I’ve just thrown back:

“Photoshop can make magic!”

After that a small laugh went trough the room, but I meant it as I said.
You can see it, I inserted a picture with a completely different viewpoint,
and it is almost undetectable. If you see long enough this picture,
you will have a feeling that there’s something wrong with that backpack
at the table, and as if I am a little larger as I used to. By the way, later
I gave a second answer for that question too. If the scenery has a lot of
moving stuff, I used to do 2- or 3 sets of pictures to assure the perfect stitch.

Just stay tuned, the other pictures will coming!

It’s been a long time since I published my last panorama here,
but I was very busy. The next WWP event is coming, and I didn’t
even published my submission from december. Unfortunately I missed
the autumn event, the theme was colours. I had the idea of a large
colorful theme park, but had flu and didn’t want to go out in the cold.

Anyway, this one is from march 2008, so it is one year old. I remember
those days, the wind blowed very heavy, all the internal shots were done
long ago, I missed only some external panoramas around the university to
make the virtual tour ready.
Alas it was not a good choice to shoot the outdoor scenes in march,
you cannot see the beautiful flora around the university surroundings.

This panorama was taken at the main dormitory of the Szent Istvan Egyetem,
the second, newly built one will be the subject of my next upload.
