Hello, fellow Californian. Nice panoramic shot of your Santa Cruz neighborhood.....how do you do that?

I use this cool JAVA applet called "PixMaker". There's a link button to their website in the bottom left of the photo.

The software can do 360-degree panoramas. I'd think Realtors could use it to show off their properties online.

You snap overlapping digital (or scan in regular) photos. The program then "knits" the images together and applies a curvature to them, so that it looks like you're standing there.

I'l FReepmail you a link to Mrs. Fierro's and my Las Vegas photos (not as good -- done with an earlier version of the software).
