a few wide-angles taken in Italy

I was experimenting with scanning double-wide pictures taken with a cheap panoramic camera, and this is the result:

Hello Michael, I went onto your website but got the message "The Album is no longer available". Maybe you are working on it and so it is down? I will try later. I would love to see your photos.

LoveItaly, maybe it was because I was looking at them at the time! Try again!
The throwaway panoramic cameras can indeed take good shots....as long as it's a bring sunny day. I believe they are 100ASA.
Having said all that, I don't know if they are even manufactured any more!

The shot of Hadrian's villa is my favorite, but all are wonderful.

cocofromdijon, none were taken from an airplane, some from towers and the ones in San Gimignano are quite high compared to the surrounding houses.

Nice shots, Michael. Maybe I should get me a panoramic camera before my trip to Italy this Sunday. I would imagine it would make some nice shots of the Grand Canal and St. Marks Piazza in Venice.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful photos. The camera might have been cheap but your scanner is a good one, isn't it?

Kappa, the scanner is an HP PSC 1610 All-in-one. Not the cheapest, but a very inexpensive printer.

Great pics. I especially liked Hadrian_s Villa, 1994

Thanks for the info, Michael...especially considering I just bought the exact same scanner. Good to know it works well for uploading.

Statia, on a Mac, I upload to Preview and save as a TIFF image. I then use Kodak Easyshare (free if you joined kodakgallery) to change it to a JPEG image that I upload to Photoworks. If digital images have become your main format, I suggest that you try copying anything before your trip and see if you can save it satisfactorily as a digital image.

A final note: I used a panoramic during a transition period between taking print pictures and switching to slides. I have not used one since 1994, and as HowardR mentioned, these cameras may no longer be available.

Anyone know of a digital camera with a panoramic option?
