Cave Panoramic

[azcaddman]

Finally finished stitching, adjusting, cropping and fine tuning the 360° panoramic, it can be viewed here

you'll need the quick-time plugin (will auto-download if you don't already have it)

not for the bandwidth challenged, it's approx 6mb

taken with 35mm lens, 22 portrait frames in the Cuzan Nah area of Sac Actun (Grande) near Tulum.

WOW!

One question . . . I'm assuming all the limestone is white. When you are actually there, do you get that blue-green effect as you look at the formations, or is that an artefact of the camera?

 

[azcaddman]

the blue-green is a result of a) the distance from the strobe to wall & back, you lose the red, just like for depth when diving, and b) from adjusting curves/layers/highlights in photoshop for the 20 images, to try and even out the exposures.

the actual colors can vary from stark white, to dark brown/near black, depending on the cave, the level of tanic acid, fresh or salt water, etc.

That is very impressive! Not sure I'd like to be there though. I have some dives under my belt but I sure ain't ready for something like that. Very impressive!
