Hi Jaysen. I see you have the same camera as me (G7) and use Hugin. I cannot figure out what focal length and focal length multiplier to use. Which do you use when you have zoomed all the way out? I tried 7.4 mm and x4.7 but doesn’t yield good panoramas at all.

Comment on Delicious Bookmarks Toolbar by Synchronize bookmarks with Delicious & Firefox at Jaysen Marais

[...] Although the Delicious extension for Firefox is great, it pays too much head to Firefox conventions for my liking. Specifically it doesn’t display favicons on mac (firefox doesn’t do toolbar favicons on mac by default) and doesn’t offer the ability to hide toolbar labels (which take up space). Luckily Firefox is highly customizable so I’ve managed to put together a simple Firefox extension which overrides these design decisions. Behold: my Delicious Bookmarks Toolbar extension. [...]

Comment on Spherical panoramas: photographs without edges by Jaysen

@simon

I wrote my first article about this in 1997….in a print magazine (remember those) nice to see you getting such great results… of course I’d argue that few photographers see what they do as ‘capturing the world like it is’ - it’s all about the framing ;)

I fully agree with Chrlz. Those who do want to make nodal panorama’s will skip this tutorial because of the title while those who want to make linear pano’s waste their time visiting this good but irrelevant tutorial

Comment on Ragged CSS: makes life easier by Adrian Godong

Interesting idea! Echoing Jan, now what we need is a good CSS editor that does the thing. And probably do a round trip update between “designer” and “raw CSS” view.

I wonder whether there is a tool which can switch between the two (or possibly any other) CSS formatting styles. I agree it’s sometimes useful to see how the CSS declarations nest in each other, and possibly improve a tall CSS (which can sometimes get out of hands).
