Its always a pleasure when you are with your friends. Don’t need a special occasion, any excuse can be used to meet and celebrate playing some music, eating and spending some time to talk about anything. After that picture other two keyboard players to complete the music. This picture was taken on May 28th, 2011.
During FISL 2011 I decided to register the hotel too. One day I arrived at the room and everything was in order and clean, so I took some pictures with the empty room and then I put myself in different positions. Don’t forget to change from “Quarto comigo” (Room with me in portuguese) to “Quarto vazio” (empty room in portuguese) on the top right of the picture.
I found some people at that stand behind of me playing with some robots and curious mechanical toys, all made with junk parts. They have done that little car that uses a printer motor to run. It is controlled by a notebook placed on its front or by a wii remote.
Its also possible to see other stands like the one from Banco do Brasil and Linux Mall.
I am at FISL 12 and I will post some panoramas here as I do them. Probably I will shoot more panos than I will be able to put here, but anyway, maybe one day I will finish them 🙂
Its time for the parties of June. Surely I wouldn’t miss the chance to make a 360 panoramic at Santo Agostinho School. Very crowded and happy party. Probably many people will be able to recognize themselves in the picture.
It’s always hard to edit the panorama when there are many people at the scene. I hope you notice more the magic of the image with so many people and a general view of the place. My eyes are already trained, so I can see at least 4 blend mistakes. For those who notice them it can also be a game to find the errors. I didn’t try hard to find them. If you find more than 4 tell me! 🙂
Technical data sheet:
I have started to rebuild my panoramic tripod head to give it more precision and reduce the parallax errors. To make this 360 it was necessary only 1 picture down (nadir) as this floor makes it easy to remove the tripod. I made only one exposition at each shoot, so Enfuse was not used. I did it on FreeBSD, so Panini was used instead of Deval VR.
This is the second 360 picture I made on a show from the project Music at the Museum. At May the 12th the harper Mário Falcão, from Portugal, played at the “Real Gabinete Português de Leitura” (Portuguese Royal Cabinet of Reading), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The place is quite beautiful. Astonishing. The institution was founded in 1837 and has been installed at the actual building in 1887. In 1860 had already more than 33.000 items in its acquis. The Royal Cabinet site has many more information about it and at this other one you will find something shorter. Don’t forget to turn the sound on before seeing the panorama.

This is the first time I have used two lenses to compose the panorama. Notice how the image is better over the musician. I hope you like and let your comments.
It was the second time I went to Village Rio Verde. Its a simple and pleasant resort in Papucaia, at the country side of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I went again with my family and a big group of friends. It has been that typical weekend when you don’t see the time passing. I’d give it a 10. I hadn’t build my panoramic tripod head yet and probably I would be afraid of putting the tripod inside the pool. Then I decided to rotate instinctively to take a manual sequence of pictures. To make a more intimate scene I called my son. He immediately came to help me doing his posing job. As I really need to do many pictures to mount the panorama, why don’t let that motivated newbie model make his elaborated poses?
This outdoor picture also let me do it in the Little Plannet format you can see beside. The name is due to the “Little Prince” book where there were some drawing with the boy over a little planet.
As I didn’t usea tripod, monopod or anything to help me making a good turn around the wright point I’ve had a great post-edition job on this image. The result made it worth. Anyone who visits me will probably see in a few time a wall poster with this “Little Plannet” at the boy’s room. I will have to make another so that “Lipe” doesn’t get jealous.
