/me tosses key to shed

😉

Sure.

I always like to help the aged 😆 😆

Eh? Speak up, will you!? I was a junior in college when that video came out so I’m a little hard of hearing. 🙂

Oh, you went to see The Who back then, too?

So let me get this straight: You were looking out of a dirty old window??

There’s a flashback to senior year in high school…

I think I was still in primary school…

Your lawn. I should get off it.

Where do I cash in?

yeah, sorry image, but zoomed in all the way thru a dirty window from the second floor across the street.

[chupathingie]

Oh cool! ‘Grats!

Unrelated, but this reminded of Bahtinov Masks…

very useful for getting accurate focus. Focus on stars is a lot harder than some might think… and soft focus really kills astro images.

Drop a nice, fast Newt in there and it’d be perfect…. 😉

so that’s her O face?

That’s the character’s “O” face, not the actress’ “O” face…

/sputter/
caradoc, you have some awesome connections. Keep that shiat up.

Keep posting new links over the season, even as an occasional that sounds like a fun gig. :thumbsup:

[chupathingie]

OUCH! I hope that all cleaned up… man, that’s gotta suck.

[chupathingie]

ooooohhhh….. that last idea with the long exposure is great! +1

The second thing I thought of was Nipper. Maybe some kind of updated but retro version? Does that even still register as an icon to the kids these days?

Now that’s funny right there. My first thought was quizicaldog.jpg.

Do you have access to the album tracks? I’d want to listen to the whole thing myself before I started picking up ideas for imagery for a cover. But then I’d not want to do anything with a too-obvious connection to the title, in the hopes that that one guy out there would look at it for the 1000th time and suddenly have the lights come on.

Oh, and congrats! That’s a pretty cool thing to have someone want you to do their album cover for them. 🙂

[chupathingie]

Just FABULOUS.

Have you tried a different stitcher, or does the canon stitcher have any settings for adjusting light levels during stitching? Yeah, I know… I own a Canon, I should already know that, but the CD has never been removed from the case since I use linux and really didn’t know if the apps would run under wine…

BTW, nice pano… every time I see a beautiful one I want to take a vacation and drive around the SW for a week doing nothing but gathering weeks worth of stitching material. I am so jonesin’ for a road trip.

[chupathingie]

looks like you made the right choice, IMO… those things look so cool lit up.

[chupathingie]

First:
Very cool.

Second:
Curse you, MacGuyver… just when I was expecting to sit and mindlessly surf the net, you’re making me think. Now, I’ve got an ugly kludge for getting the nodal point over the z-axis on the fisheye, but the camera’s oriented sideways for that. I think a variation of what you have there would work on 2 axes for the preferred landscape lens. My head gets me close, but I still lack an inch to an inch &1/2 forward travel of getting the iris directly over the z-axis (below). The nodal point is just behind the forward grip ring.

This is fine for a single row of shots, provided nothing is close enough to show parallax, but I normally shoot multiple rows and would love to be able to get some foreground in as well. I think I’ve got some steel U-channel shelving supports laying around that might be sturdy enough…provided I can work out the details…
