WARNING: YOU DO NOT HAVE JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE INSTALLED

Due to legal issues between Microsoft and Sun Microsystems, a number of Internet Explorer browsers were not shipped with Java installed. Java is essential for viewing the advanced image navigation and panoramic features on both this website and others like it. To download a free copy of Java Virtual Machine, click here

Using various methods over the past 3 years, panoramas are now essentially created from three fish-eye images, taken 120 degrees from each other using a specially mounted camera on a tripod. This mounting ensures that the camera rotates about the nodal point of the camera/lens setup. The three images are then processed by PTGui and saved as a layered tiff file. The image is then edited in Photoshop to finalise it, reduce it in size, unsharp mask and check the colour. The resultant jpeg is viewed as an equirectangular image in PTViewer.
