VERY nice! :)

One suggestion, though, would be to use a mouseClick instead of mouseOver on the photos... My $0.02

What camera/lens do you use?

Cheers,

hi cheathamlane.
thnx for your comment!

I use a 8mm sigma.
with a canon 350D

The mouse over or click issue was one asked by a advertising company to me.

He said,
You and your fellow panorama phothographers fully understand what can be done in a picture.
But 90% of the people do not even know they can move around!
people do not click on the images because they do not know it is possible.

I had the same experience with a pure player tour I made
http://www.vliegenzwam.nl/htmldocs/vliegenzwam/index.html
people only looked at the first panorama and did not find the others.

I've done a little research on that on a festival in our village.

I showed panorama pictures on my computer to a lot of people who never saw one before and just let them.
Even I had text in the image to tell them how to move. a lot of them even did not even understand that!
and most of those people where well educated.


My thoughts.

monitor readers are impatient.
If the page does not fast make clear what the message is , they zap to another page.
What's needed is a transparent and functional navigation.
The Internetsurfer expects a certain degree of interactivity but,
he does not want to wait for pictures or design which take long to do.
The moment that he zaps away is a missed chance.

Erik Leeman a dutch panorama guy made a nice howto in a panorama.
I've made the same for pureplayer. (dutch version)
still need to do a better one for flashpanoramas.

Freddy-
Wow. you made that? That looks excellent and i know that you just started with FPP...

Is that HDR photos? Great job disco

[discocandy]

the outside one and normal pictures are HDR.
the inside one just did not look ok in HDR due to the lens flare (purple stuff)
on the image.

Thnx Dave.
