View of Carolina, small city at Maranhão – Brazil

by

I’ve been in Carolina on my last vacation, in July 2011. It is a small and beautiful place on the countryside of Maranhão, Brazil. It is located on the right margin of Tocantins river. The city was founded in 1809 with the name of Arraial São Pedro de Alcântara. According to a 2009 census it has a few more than 25,000 inhabitants. The picture have been taken from a church tower using a 6 meters (19.7 feet) pole.

Friends Meeting To Play Some Music

by

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.

See the panorama!

At the Hotel in Porto Alegre, Brazil

by

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.

See the panorama!

Little car that uses a printer motor

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 🙂

June Party at Santo Agostinho School

by

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.

See the panorama.

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.

See you, Cartola.

Rio de Janeiro’s São Sebastião’s Cathedral

by

This is the interior of one of the most important catholic churches in the City, The São Sebastião’s Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It has a very big and beautiful interior view with a big concrete structure and stained glasses all around. Located very close to other historical monuments at downtown Rio de Janeiro. I have never been there before taking this pictures, even working very close to the place. When you get into the church a good peace sensation flows into you. I liked it.

See the panorama.

To compose the experience I have chosen a Bach music, Jesus bleibet meine Freude. I hope you like it.
