vanhulsenbeek Posted August 26, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is an 11 image panorama, made with M8, WATE at 21 mm and ISO 640. Camera on tripod with panorama plateau and vertical setup to to able to turn the camera at nodal (no-parallax) point. That is very necessary when shooting in such a confined space: the trees are only a couple of meters away. This pano was made at an elevation of about 1500 meters (Pos II) on the slopes of Mount Rinjani on the Indonesian island Lombok. The M8 performed perfectly with no problems from the humid climate etc. The small package is a real advantages on relatively arduous treks like the trek up Mount Rinjani. More of this coming!

kohlgruber Posted August 26, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 26, 2007 Wäääh, I really feel the nasty humidity. Gorgeous Hans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGeoJO Posted August 26, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 26, 2007 Great pano and yes, I almost could feel the high humidity level there. What other lenses did you take with you on that trip? What is the light brownish object in the lower right hand corner, BTW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other lenses did you take with you on that trip? What is the light brownish object in the lower right hand corner, BTW? I took a CV35/2.5 and a Macro Elmar with adapter. The ME also made perfect shots as a short tele. The object is a bare root, such as made up the track to the crater rim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sirvine Posted August 26, 2007 Share #6 Posted August 26, 2007 I bet this would be gorgeous in a full-size print. The M8 + pano software is a powerful tool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfe Posted August 27, 2007 Share #7 Posted August 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great Pano -- especially considering the relatively close distance. How do you determine the nodal point on the Leica? I've shot some panos on my Nikon gear but used the ability to check for the nodal point by being able to check for the alignment of near and far objects in the viewfinder. This is obviously not an option in a VF camera. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is obviously not an option in a VF camera. Robert Robert, Indeed I esthablished the nodal point, or someting near to it, by trial and error. It is not so critical with wide andle and when you are more than 3-5 meters from your subject. PTGui is then able to make someting of it, as long as you camera is level.

ChrisC Posted August 27, 2007 Share #9 Posted August 27, 2007 ...... How do you determine the nodal point on the Leica? I've shot some panos on my Nikon gear but used the ability to check for the nodal point by being able to check for the alignment of near and far objects in the viewfinder..... Robert - In another thread ['Two mysterious measurements'] I answered a similar enquiry: "If you are asking how to set up the M8 with a specific lens for 'nodal point' photography to make panoramas; it's easy. You will, of course, need a panoramic head with sideways, and forwards/backwards shifts. In a well lit room fix your M8 in your panoramic head on a tripod with the lens nodal point region roughly over the centre of the tripod [i focused the lens for a typical landscape focusing distance but I'm uncertain whether the nodal point shifts with focusing]. You will need a thin line object close to the lens [i mounted a vertical screwdriver on a stand], your second target needs to be broader and a few feet away [ I used the end thickness of a white painted door]. Centre the 'close line' so that on your exposed screen it is exactly in the middle of the second target, and by swinging the panoramic head a set amount to the left and right for exposures you will observe the image of the close line shift off centre, adjust the position of the camera on the [say] forwards/backwards rack so the least displacement of the the close line from centre of the second target is achieved. Go through the same process with the panoramic head's sideways rack, until finally you can make exposures so the image of the close line remains centred in the second target when exposures are made after turning the panoramic head. The rig is now tuned for nodal point photography. It was a hell of a lot easier to do than to describe. I advise using a focusing loupe to inspect the screen after exposures, take your time, scratch your head, and poor yourself a glass of wine". Hope that helps as a starting point, if it doesn't completely make sense try pouring another glass of wine and repeat the process until it does. ...................Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice photo, Sander, nice textures. My daughter is in Lombok right now! May I assume that it is nearly 360 degrees? Please do not get me wrong; there is a time and a place for a good pano head.

Please do not get me wrong; there is a time and a place for a good pano head. If I remember well it was more like 270 degrees. Envy your daughter. Great place.
