Panoramic images, that were taken with the help of a so called ‘Philopod’. A little string with a small weight hanging on the lens and replaces a real tripod. For more information see the inventor’s homepage here.
This is from my 2019 calender either the June or the December page.
This stereogrpahic reprojection was generated from a spherical panorama I took at an arena polo event at the Munich Airport.

This panorama is a tribute to Joseph von Fraunhofer (* March 6, 1787 – † June 7, 1826) a German physicist and optician. He was born in Straubing and died in Munich. This panorama shows his tomb in Munich. I shot this panorama at his tomb almost eight years ago!

The name of the alp you see here roughly translates to “Hindmost Colossus Alp”. It is found in the Retterschwang valley near Bad Hindelang. Cycling from Bad Hindelang brings you from 800m to the alp at 1451m in about 10km distance. You should use a mountain bike with the appropriate gears!

This image shows a reprojected version of this panorama.
This panorama shows Bad Hindelang from the viewpoint Nusche, that’s just halfway to the urban district of Gailenberg. It is a sort of an experiment because it is one of my first hand held shots with the Sony NEX-5 camera using the 16mm pancake lens and the fisheye converter. I took eight pictures around, two zenith and two nadir shots. I took eight images, because with only a Philopod setup this is easier to shoot than only six shots around, which would give you enough overlap for the lens combination. The original equirectangular image had a size of 12000×6000 pixels.
