Re: Cubics with PTViewer (now 10D/Sigma Discussion)



Hi Eric,

There are several examples using this setup Karl posted.  The outdoor shots
do show some people very light, you can see right through them.  Is this
what you are referring to?  Not sure if this is a result of the stitching
process, or what, as I don't have access to the raw images.  For example, at
the following link:

http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtour/canon10dthumbs/canon10d.htm

The third one down, there is one person walking that looks like a ghost (you
can see right through).  These "ghosts" are in some of the other example
panos taken with this setup (10D/Sigma) as well.  Maybe Karl or someone else
can comment on these "ghost" images.  I'd really like to know as I'm
considering this setup and it will cost a lot!

However, there are panos on that page that came out quite nice.  And, at the
following link you can see some excellent pans taken with this setup:
