A divinely saucy image. I love Tokyo and you've captured it well.

That looks a very promising panorama, Ken. Three portrait-oriented shots, I presume? Rotary cameras are better for scenery and (some) cityscapes rather than easily recognisable shapes like boats. Their curvilinear distortion makes such subjects look very odd. There are some techniques you can use to minimise (but not eliminate) the distortion...

Grant, you're right about panoramas needing less contrasty lighting. Overcast days are best, but then the colour tend to suffer (my Fuchuu Station shot shows that). Unfortunately I have to take shots when I can, and it was a very sunny day when I was in Asakusa... I can use filters if they are the special "thin" type, but I only use UV on it at the moment, more as lens protection than anything else.

Another great panorama, Roger. The framing symmetry works and that was a very good idea. I've been interested in panoramics (about 135 degrees) and leave one I'm still working on stitched from 3 images of the drydocked Wapama, a steam schooner built ca. 1915. I wonder what your rotary camera would do with this subject? Mister Ken

I like the framing with the temple & the effect of the 360 as it is unusual. I think the biggest improvement you could make to this photo is to have taken when the day was not so bright to even out the exposures and perhaps to get more colour in the sky. I know it is cliche but this would look amazing with an evening or morning sun. Can you use any filters on this camera?
I had a look at your portfolio on the other site & really liked the colours & roof in Kokubunji Station.
Have a good day
Grant

Bertram: It revolves completely in one second for 1/125th sec exposures, two seconds for 1/60th, and so on. Takes forever inside dim churches!

Fascinating agin and again ! The repeating group of people: If Hugo would not have pointed out this phenomenon I would not have noticed it. Can barely imaging how fast the lens rotates.

Hi Roger; if I undersatand this (or if I don't;>) your composition is effective. The large dark areas on both sides contain the photo well. It's difficult to get the mind around these, but I like looking at them.
...just saw your comments re the Pen FT. I think the E-1 system could accomodate such a system because of its sort of 1/2 frame 35mm, but the adaptor Olympus makes is for the older OM lenses, ie I've seen several posts where people have used the OM 75-150 with an adaptor on the E-1. It then becomes a 150-300 f4-- a nice telephoto range and speed. I used to own all the OM camera bodies and several lenses, including the 75-150 but no longer do.
If you have more info re Olympus' plans regarding introduction of a "Pen FT like" digital camera, I'd sure like to hear about it. Cheers. Craig

Hi Roger, as you know, these rotary shots are always a pleasure to look at. But as I have no knowledge about this kind of photograhy, I can only enjoy the shot. I do see the effect of the rotary aspect now, with the repeating group of people left and right (quite far away) Interesting.
Cheers,
Hugo
