Craig, my daughter who was at UCLA, said it looked like an LA suburb... It's quite UNtypical of Japan.

Roger - sorry to have been distracted but I'm back. The trees only add to the swirl of the paving stones. This image reminds me of a variety mornings after nights in which too much scotch whiskey has been sacrificed to the gods of light! Ignore the tilt and praise the kilt...Looks fine to me - JB

It's warped left and right, but it doesn't really bother me. Anyway, how could you possibly put something round on a flat surface without any distortion!?
By the way, you didn't tell me you were going to take a trip to Southern California. ;-)

Chris, the camera rotates with a single lens behind which is a single static slit. The film is pulled steadily past the slit as the camera turns around. The width of the slit determines the shutter speed for a given speed of rotation. My top shutter speed is 1/125th sec. with the camera turning completely around in one sec. Two seconds for 1/60th, four for 1/30th, etc. Simple idea, quite difficult to execute accurately and consistently. The URL of the website for this camera is in a comment to "Gib" Gibson under "Hommage a Gildas." Or maybe "bis." Can't check it now.

Wonderful panorama once again, Roger.
I must admit, I simply can't work out how this camera works! Does it somehow rotate around taking one continuous image? If so, how can you have a shutter speed of 1/125th?! Or, has it got some kind of wierd lens that wraps right around the camera body?!! The mind boggles!!
When you've got a minute or three maybe you could post an explanation, or a link that would take us to a web page with diagrams!!
Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy the magnificent image!
Kind regards, Chris

Thanks, Antonella. The hugs are much appreciated! I have a few more of these panoramas to put up but it is pretty time consuming because my scanner is not cooperating--and the files are too big for my limited computer memory, and the software keeps crashing. Must do them after work at the office!

Thanks for the encouragement, Marcus. It's a funky camera, and takes some getting used to. I hope to do better as I get used to it... The perspective is exaggerated because it is such a wide-angle lens! I intend to use it mostly for interiors, where it will be ideal. Out of doors it's really a bit too wide.
