Some Pretty Cool Pictures

[WVMike]

A co worker found these pictures on the web and turned me on to them. Follow the link below and then click on the the two underwater pictures.

You need the Apple Quicktime plugin to view these.

Anyone know how they did this?

Enjoy

Got to love those pics...I have seen them before, but never tire of them.

To the best of my knowledge they are done using a series of photos taken using a fisheye lens that are then stitched together using specialist software on a computer.

Most modern digital cameras allow you to do something close to this though, albeit not quite in the same league. I have taken a few over the years using my Canon digital Ixus http://www.simonandmerith.com/qtvr/index.htm including one taken underwater last year in Grenada. Am hoping to find somewhere to try taking another one in the Red Sea in a few weeks
