    Default Place suggestions for 360's

    Anyone here suggest some good places in and around Caithness nearer Thurso the better for doing some fully panoramic photos.

    I have completed a few test shots this week at Dunnet/castletown/Thurso.

    You can see some here http://www.pennyland.co.uk under the panoramic section

    Cheers

    Maybe you should host one of your images on photobucket and then post it here instead of just giving a link to a website.

    Default 360's

    I am unable to do that as the images are in a flash format and if I was to upload the image itself it would be huge as it is approx 60 odd photos in 1 picture.

    Well I *am* impressed with the results! Well done, t!

    The panoramas loaded for me in no time at all, and they're all lovely. I'm especially taken with the one of Thurso Beach, as it brought back a lot of memories to me. I almost felt like I was right there!

    I agree that Holborn Head would be good - Scrabster as well. Another suggestion would be Thurso East. A panorama taken from one of the church spires in Thurso would be fantastic!

    OK, I only have an half meg broadband connection at home, so I tried at work which has an eight meg connection. I also loaded the latest flash plugin (version 10.0.22.87) and still I do not see your pano's (only the thumbnails)!! - I just get an error on the page load.

    Would suggest your site to too bandwidth demanding and flash heavy (at least for me). What I did see looked fine if a little light in variety within the various sections.

    Funny you should say that Sporran, I noticed a photographer on the top of St Peter's and St Andrew's (the big church in the square) the day before yesterday; I wonder if we'll see the results on here?

    An amazing view of Thurso is taken from up the river above the cemetery to incorporate all of the town. Saw it on a print some while ago in the foyer at Ormlie funeral parlour.

    Agree view from Thurso East would be good too.

    Ooh, I hope we do, Lavenderblue2! I really enjoyed the photos that highlander posted here a few months ago. They were taken from atop Thurso West Church, in Sinclair Street.

    Yes Sporran, they were excellent - here's hoping we soon see the ones taken this week!
