Anybody doing QTVR?
I made this around the time of the Sydney 2000 Olympics. There were no affordable high end DSLR's back then.
I used A Nikon F3HP with a 20mm f2.8 for the panorama.
Click and drag the mouse button to move around.
To zoom in and out, click on the + and (-) button on the window.

Thats pretty good. Is there a tutorial or something to follow to make one of these?

There are plenty of programs available on the internet. Google "QTVR" and a host of software developers will come up. QTVR was invented by Apple as part of their Quick Time program. I used a program called VR Panoworx and VR Toolbox for this image.
In addition to the software, you need an accurate panoramic head that can take incremental stops around 360 degrees.
I did these shots well over 10 years ago during the Sydney 2000 Olympics when DSLR's weren't yet that affordable or available, so I used a Nikon F3HP with a 20mmf 2.8 using film.
Thanks and cheers!

Yep - I still do a QTVR pano every now and then (my most recent one is at http://www.rc.au.net/pano/20100703/ - warning this one larger - 1280x640 pixel viewing port).

I've used a number of different automated Pano creation tools - including Panorama Factory one of my favourites.

I can't seem to get it to work on my PC. Perhaps my laptop needs a QT update which I keep rejecting from the Apple website. All that comes up is the frame. I guess it's my computer.
I'll try it on the Mac tonight. Cheers!
