In the round

Most of you know I am a sucker for 360 degrees of image. I like to take those Wide angle converters from old VHS cameras and put them on any lens I can make it fit on. This time I used electrical tape to attach it to the Kit lens from a Minolta Maxxum 500si and loaded the camera with PolypanF. Yes I had to PS out my feet from a few shots.

That's a really clever idea and I think that it worked great in each of the photos-- I like them all; the one of the stairway makes me feel like I'm right there.

Agree with Bill - the stairway shot is immersive.

Someone else told me that. Ron Bishop may remember The Roxy. When he was stationed here in the 60s it was a movie theater not a live stage theater. All the old Projection equipment is still in it but the Fire Marshal said it was a time bomb ready to go.

Your close Larry, but it was 1954/5 when I was there. Never did go to a movie at the theater, but there was a very fine bar just next door.

Maybe they can get somebody to donate a digital projector.
