Fish Eye Photography - Another Angle!

Liberty Shipwreck Panorama - Assembled with Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE)
Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) is a great tool for creating panoramas from fish eye images. The software is free and does a great job of merging photos into a panorama without needing to learn any fancy techniques or complicated software. Download here: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/ice/
The above Panorama was compiled by the Microsoft ICE 2.0 software, from 36 fish eye images I took on the USAT Liberty Wreck in Tulamben, Bali. I used an Olympus PEN EPL6 in a PT-EP10 housing with a Panasonic 8mm fish eye lens and Athena Dome Port. The camera was hand held and with no strobes. Shot in Manual (so the exposures were consistent across all images).
I shot the images by moving the camera in a semi circular pan at two levels (see the thumbnail images in the following slide show to see what I mean).
I then imported them into the ICE Software and let the program do its magic. The slide show below shows the steps I took. (click on the numbers to view each Screen Shot)
There are also two websites that can display files output from ICE in 3D or high definition zoomable panoramas (PhotoSynth & DeepZoom).... But that's for another day!
