MC Escher Graffiti

Walked by this Vancouver Alley today, as a fan of MC Escher I decided to shoot a quick QTVR of the graffiti. There is some great portraits farther up, I shall head back soon. Horrible light but first blend turned out OK. Click photo for QTVR.

Stanley Park Damage

As many as 3,000 trees were lost as winds reaching 100 kilometres an hour ripped through the park. Quick stitch test of Trail near prospect point. I do not recommend hiking through the trails just yet. Light was horrible but was trying for some drama. Sample image shows blending extremes, this was just a quick test to determine which of the 4 locations will work best. Click photo for QTVR.

The Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel

Old Biltmore hotel, now the"Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel, is a gem in the heart of the city!" Quote from site "At our Vancouver hotel guests can enjoy comfortable well-appointed guest rooms, and spectacular views of the city and North Shore Mountains. This hotel is centrally located in Vancouver, 10 minutes away from Science World, Granville Island Public Market, Chinatown, GM Place, BC Place Stadium, Queen Elizabeth Theatre, the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center, and Canada Place Cruise Center"

Cylindrical Flash Test

While none of the recent flash solutions can compete with the quality of Quicktime for full screen display, the new flash by immervision comes very close. Flash really comes into its own for small/medium viewers generally dominated by Java solutions. By switching to flash you can reduce the load times associated with java and up the quality and size of the viewer. Click photo for larger small display test.
