Following the relative success of the Dinner Plain panorama, here's another from Mt Hotham.

  • Comment. It looks a bit tilted to the right, then again the ski lift pole is vertical. So it is probably a bending due to the panoramic remapping. Also, IMHO the subject matter is a bit too similar to the Dinner Plains pic to justify another FP. --Dschwen 12:35, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Dschwen doesn't know what hes talking about. It doesnt look tilted and its fine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.115.56.175 (talk • contribs)
    • I uploaded two crops which should show vertical (building posts and edges) and horiztontal (horizon, but I do not know about the geographic peculiarities). They both consistenly deviate from the red guides by about 1.5 degrees. Yes I suppose I'm picky, but it was noticable for me. And given the extremely high standard Fir usually exhibits I also found it noteworthy, especially since this is a very fixable issue. --Dschwen 19:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Mr 24.115.56.175 doesn't know what he's talking about, don't worry Dschwen. :) You're obviously correct that it wasn't quite straight. In Fir0002's defense, panoramas can be a little more tricky to keep straight due to the complex transforms that are performed. Adjusting to straighten one part will often affect the opposite side.

        • Yeah it is pretty tricky. Here's an edit. I don't think there is a problem with verticle rotation - that's just the terrain. I've tried striaghtening the posts on the houses. --Fir0002 www 23:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Support both - I opposed your other photo because it wasn't striking and didn't convey what you were trying to show, this photo OTOH shows exactly what you were trying to convey on the Dinner Plain photo. PPGMD 01:06, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Support even though I can feel, more than see, some strange tilting (in different directions, to boot!) --Janke | Talk 11:11, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose really doesn't do anything for me. chowells 00:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, with bias I like Australia and I like skiing. :) I wonder if it wouldn't be more effective simply concentrating on the houses at the right with the ski lift becoming background to the left. A chair lift isn't an inherently beautiful object. It's ok as it is, but by cropping just to the left of the chair lift, I wonder.... Stevage 11:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
