Interior, Swansea
Promenade
13th
September
2002
Checking
the camera before getting out
of the car I was surprised to
see just how much coverage
the camera had, so I took a
shot from inside the car,
using f16 to maximise depth
of field. This gives a good
indication of how wide the
field of view is. It was
taken from the front seat!
1/60-f16
handheld. |
Mumbles
Cafe and Amusement
Arcade
Another
downward tilted shot, the
only way to capture this
scene from the high
viewpoint. The curved earth
effect seems to be quite
acceptable in this instance.
1/125-f8
handheld. |

Mumbles
Head
Another
curved earth shot. This scene
seems particularly well
suited to the effect. The
Outer Head (with lighthouse)
is mostly hidden by the
Middle Head.
1/250-f8. |
Mumbles
Pier and
Head
A variation
of the curved earth effect. I
don't think it works too well
in this instance, but
preferences may vary. This is
not an effect that you'd want
to use too often.
1/250-f11. |

Mumbles
Pier
A far more
sensible shot, probably my
favourite so far. Choice of
viewpoint is critical to a
shot like this.
1/125-f11. |
Gors,
heather and
bracken
A hand-held
shot of the ground beneath my
feet. Not the kind of subject
you'd expect to take with a
panoramic camera but it
worked quite well. I used f16
to try to ensure everything
would be in focus.
1/60-f16

Bay
A fast
shutter speed was used to
freeze the water.

Same scene
but with the waves
out.

Swansea
Branch
Not very
sharp and not very good depth
of field either, since the
camera has its focus fixed on
infinity. 1/60-f2.8
handheld. |
The New
Swansea Police
station
Upward
tilting was unavoidable here,
causing bowl distortion.
1/125-f11. |
