- Aeaus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10That's a very nice quality panorama, it would be nice to see a list of more from that site, but I can't read russian.
- coolian, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2I feel Russian.
- neave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1More QTVRs: http://pano.1drey.com/qtvr_intro.html and some in Flash too: http://pano.1drey.com/flash_intro.html
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6In an effort to raise funds, Moscow has sold off 10°. This panorama is now only in 350°.

And possibly the coolest one ever, an aerial shot of Sydny:

has both russian/english
edit: vthh beat me to it. - masgrada, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Nuclear power plants in the distance? Sure looks like it.
- skeeve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://around.1drey.com/
look at the left bar for the various categories. there are english translations
make sure you scroll down for all of them as there are several panos for each - kwilliam71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These cubic panoramics are so hard to stitch right. I've made a few attempts with a 10mm, but it's pretty damn tough. Kudos to these folks that can do it so well.
- ultraelite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I think that the 360 aside this is a really good photo. It manages to convey a lot of Russia, both literally and metaphorically. Elders looking down at the younger people on their way up as their on their way down. Everyone is frozen in time in the tundra the only movement is the kids hand inviting you to join him. But that's just my opinion and I'm on acid so it isn't very reliable.
- blackolive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+1This website crashed firefox to me
- mattsidesinger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17This is oddly ... normal. Where is the crazy Russia that I love?
- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I'm glad this made the front page, because you get a pretty good idea of how 10+ million people go about their daily lives.
- signal15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2>I'm glad this made the front page, because you get a pretty good idea of how 10+ million people go about their daily lives.
Sledding? - shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1signal15, browse the links posted above.
- cbreaker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I don't know about a "pretty good idea" what Russians do; more like "hey, look. Normal people."
- goeatsmsht, on 10/12/2007, -21/+8In Soviet Russia, picture 360's you.....
- Brandondork, on 10/12/2007, -20/+3In Soviet Russia camera looks at you
- slapded, on 10/12/2007, -16/+1im communist russia, 360 panorama pans you
- aforce369, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3its like being in russia, without the vodka and mob-controled goverment, which makes it unlike being in russia.
perplexing.... - TastyBaconTreat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Anyone have any idea how this is done or where I can learn more about the process?
- umdigger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Check out QuickTime VR. There are a few ways to do it. If your digital camera has a stitching program where you can make panoramas you can import that into quicktime. I made one once using that method and it was ok, but it had chuncks out of it where the photos didn't align. This one is done very well.
- kwilliam71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These are called Cubic Panoramas. They are very difficult to do this good. It helps to have a good 10mm/180 degree fisheye lens on your camera.
- eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20In Soviet Russia people won't stop ***** overusing this ***** cliche. Go home.
- combustion8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4yeah its old
- yikiad, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1digg down
- capitocapito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In Soviet Russia, this ***** cliche won't stop ***** overusing you.
- combustion8, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7I'd rather see a panoramic shot of the mafia graveyards.
- LonesomeFighter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2what, the frozen river?
- LesbianHam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5There are a couple of shadows which have no person, lol.
Also, you can see the shadow of the camera on its tripod.
I love panoramas like these, they rock.
Why aren't there more of them? - tugger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Quicktime VR is awesome and has been around for years.. Audi UK website used to use this for their car interiors..
The great thing is that it's a beautiful clear day and the cameraman has the perfect focus on everything.. You need a minimum of 24 photos for quicktime VR to work with, however I think this guy has used lots more than that.
The bit I like is looking straight down and trying to work where the cameramans feet were... It's like you're floating!- TheSurfer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For this kind of VR we use 3-4 shots with an 8mm fisheye or 6 around +1 zenith with a fullframe fisheye.
We can do very high resolution multirow panoramas with usually 30-40 images but that is not for action and news panoramas.
You can find a couple of interesting panos by Andrey at my News Pano page.
Just scroll down at the bottom.

- RG13, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1In Soviet Union Russia....some guy took some pics to make a panorama!
OMG
give it up already
Edit: Thx eplawless - chembro84, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Wow anyone else notice the factories spewing crap into the air? I'm sure there are American cities like that too, but at least where I live it isn't like that (San Francisco)
- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6What's noteworthy about that? I'm sure that virtually every metropolitan in the world has factories like that. I live in NYC and we've got several in every borough.
- chembro84, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I guess it's noteworthy to me, because I have never had to live in an environment like that (I guess I should be more thankful)
- eNthem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You have other problems... ;)
- chembro84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Like free city-wide internet and one of the cleanest air-quality cities in the world? :)
- Twenty5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0didnt you guys have more serious problems than pollution?
- BladeofKeyZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's like I'm really there!!!!
- jmreid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes, I can look up, down, left and right, just like in real life!
- ralphieee, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0I wanna punch that lil kid
- tuxthepenguin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Is that steam or pollution or what coming from those factories?
It stretches a long ways in the picture.- OrlyonokEaglet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looks like steam, it's more visible because of freezing temperatures. Those are probably heating/power plants.
- 3leggedHorse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Global Warming from Russia with love. They wanna keep all the snow for them selves.
- metall1c1ne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I wish it would snow here. One day it's 75 and the next it's 25..
Good quality pic..- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Where is "here"?
- ph3rny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sounds like michigan or at least midwest u.s.
- 3leggedHorse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is that writing behind upside down.
- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No, it's in the right direction. It says "Happy New Year"
- SQFreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I believe it says "С новым годом" (S novym godom) which is literally "With the new year" but it really means "Happy New Year."
I recognize the location, but I can't quite place it. Looking it up I find that it's Поклонная Гора (Poklonnaya Gora), near Парк Победы (Park Pobedy / Victory Park). - shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I found another shot, directly behind that sign: http://pano.1drey.com/panos/moscow/streets/newyear02.html
- 3leggedHorse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Here is some proper pics of pollution.http://www.buncefield-oil-fire-hemel-hempstead.wingedfeet.co.uk/
- dickeytk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that place looks like oodles of fun!!!
- KillsInTehFog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"There are a couple of shadows which have no person, lol."
Stalin had them "erased". - eNthem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I had the privilege to live in Moscow for 2 years and must say that it is one of the greatest cities in the world although it is very polluted...
- kezekiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If someone who knows where this is could post a Google Earth link that would be awesome.
- 1drey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Here is a link to the post in the keyhole forum: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/834923/an/0/page/0#834923
- lazyeyesam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Gotta love those clouds of pollution... pretty though.
- trovoltex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's from heating station, by the way, the pipes are huge :)
And if you see a long trail it's because of cold weather.
80% of pollution come from cars.
- trovoltex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's from heating station, by the way, the pipes are huge :)
- KD5VMO, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does any one know how I could set this to be the background on a Mac/PC/Linux. It would be cool if you could have multiple desktops that pan around when you switch desktops. Useless as it may be, it would be awesome to have. On Linux you could probably use Beryl (with some sort of conversion), or something similar, but Mac or windows, beats the hell out of me.
- zakool21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Amazing. Lots of those other ones are amazing too. It's not very common that you see full resolution panos like that. The detail is pretty good closer to the photog, but as the image goes off in the distance, it shows the limitations of the photog's camera.
- 1drey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, actually the resolution approximately corresponds to the human naked eye - normally you wouldn't see to many details on distant objects without aid like binocular or similar stuff. I like VR's for it's closeness to the human perception of the environment.
A couple of panos from Egypt:
http://pano.1drey.com/panos/egypt/luxor/karnak7.html - famous Karnak temple
http://pano.1drey.com/panos/egypt/aswan/crok.html - just cool place at Aswan water reserve
