Re: WWPano: another world wide panorama, anyone?
Oliver Cannell 2004-May-26 22:57:00
I have recently photographed Stonehenge, England, and am in the process
of editing the images and building the VR media. It should be ready
some over the next few weeks.
Stonehenge is owned by English Heritage who are very picky about people
gaining access to the stones - for commercial organisations - so I had
to pay a princely sum for the privilege. I did manage to get some nice
shots though, including a VR from the centre of the circle of stones. I
am constrained by English Heritage on where and how I use the images
taken, but I hope they would see the World Heritage Tour as a worthy
project.
Watch this space...!!
