The Pool (V 2.0) - 2015

No circularium for today, so I'm getting something from the arsenal. I've posted this panorama before definitely but rather in different formats I guess. This one here is done with RAW only, no HDR slides.
I'm thinking seriously to take a break from social media for some time, as I've been feeling drained a lot lately and I'm lagging behind with 2 projects that I wish to do (and guess what? I got an idea for a 3rd one but it'd be crazy to do so now).
Now, about this panorama, it's for the swimming pool in Dar ta' Żeppi B&B in Qala, Malta. Another version of this panorama included a cat!
I think I've shot this panorama maybe twice or thrice, with problems happening each time, mainly because the time of the shoot is when light is transiting from day to night which makes metering and exposure a bit awkward.

Now, heading to Malta. I believe I've posted this panorama before but in planet format. This is the original (or flat one as I call it sometimes). This panorama was problematic and didn't get it right till the 2nd trial (and one trial takes up quite the time because it is dark and I need to take something around 123 shots).

Banju ta' Żeppi (2015);

Yesterday's vertical panorama, in a "normal" format 😬
I'm still ongoing with the process of this dental surgery and stuff, and things got a bit complicated and I hope it won't complicate further. We'll see. I'm kind of idle right now and avoiding coffee (into the 5th day already) and... it's hard. I'm always sleepy and it's hard to focus on much and I didn't touch my camera for days.

The Grand Shower (2015);

I wasn't going to post anything today, but here is something quick from Malta, specifically my bathroom in the B&B! It's a vertical panorama in Mercator projection style. Strangely, it seems I didn't make a planet projection out of this one!
So, today is the day - I'm supposed to head to the hospital for some dental surgery; Man, I hate this. I just wish I get drugged completely out of it. Fingers crossed.

It's Saturday! Time for another anaglyph, and back again to Malta. If you have the proper glasses for this, you'll see this lantern hanging in the air, literally.
I typically follow a specific pattern in naming my files, including such anaglyphs, but I've found out that there are some 3D images were not named accordingly, I don't know why, so they are now "re-discovered"!

Triq Tas-Sema (3D); 2015

This shot (and another one from Ireland taken in 2009) is one of those rare shots that I've literally stopped gazing mindlessly before shooting it, meditating in its majesty. Where I live, we don't quite get such clouds formations, thus seeing something like that, in a quiet countryside pathway, induces amazing feelings of joy deep inside of me. I wanted to just sit there and gaze, forgetting everything about my problems, and my camera and photography altogether. Luckily, back home, I've realized that I've made two shots of the scene so I was able to merge them in one anaglyph. Making anaglyphs out of fisheye shots is quite tricky as well, but I think this one ended up well. Another strange thing about this anaglyph as well is that the B&W version didn't quite work well it seems; usually, colors cause ghosting and hence anaglyphs perform better in B&W to perceive the depth or the illusion better. However, this is not the case here, where the colored version is relatively better in depth than the B&W!

***Note: I tried my best to match the original colors of the image here on Pixelfed, using the provided filters, since the color space is not recognized and the colors change significantly. I will leave a link in the comments to the one with the original colors posted on Cara.

Is-Sinjura (3D); 2015

Yay! It's Saturday; 3D anaglyph day (and I'm excited that I remembered the day!).
This week's anaglyph comes from Malta, and if I remember correctly, it was for a statue in Qala pjazza (piazza) near the church. Just to note, usually (but not always), I don't plan the make of such 3D anaglyph; it is at the time of reviewing my test shots and comparing things that the idea comes to me that two images can be combined somehow to make an anaglyph.

If you happen to view this with the proper anaglyph glasses (🔵🔴), you will see how the hands are separated from the face (like, literally floating with depth).

Triq tas-Sema (heaven's road) - 2015.
One of the shots that I kept pinching myself to realize it is true. It might be normal for others to see such clouds and sky, but not me for sure, and not in such a peaceful atmosphere like the outskirts of Qala.

Farsh pe khade is an amazing song with full Hemant Kumar vibes. Between #monicaomydarling and #Qala #hindi film music has made me happy after so long.
