Hi Milko
I think your comment is just a bit too strong, though I appreciate
where you're coming from.
It sounds like you had a disappointing experience with the outcome of
one of your own submissions to a magazine, ok fair enough. As the
photographer who did the steam train photo I'm pleased with this
publication. If I felt it was inappropriate to print this picture I
wouldn't have submitted it, its a magazine after all. It's just added
to the fun, really, and that's mostly what this group is about
(although I know there is a lot of significant professional spinoff
and interest).
Personally, I like the printed versions of the other panos on that
page more than mine. There is an abstact quality to a printed
equirectangular image which I admit is probably not intended when
you're shooting, and I would have liked to see a link to The World
Wide Panorama actually printed. But overall its fine.
Anyway, thanks Jeffrey, more power to your journalism.
