This is a follow-up to a recent post covering my trip to the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. My original post was a test to confirm the settings and possible issues concerning 360° panoramics. This post includes links to all the “flat” images (panoramic and non-panoramic), as well as the 360° Virtual Tours. The image above is a panoramic image in it’s “flattened” state.
Here’s the entire gallery. Enjoy… but don’t leave yet! Check out the Virtual Tours below!

I recently visited the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio to shoot some 360° virtual tour panoramic images. I have posted one of those images here as a test. Just take you mouse and move it around to view the full 360°. You can also zoom in and out to view closer details. Please take a look and let me know how things look. I will be posting additional images soon, as well as providing some information on the museum. Stay tuned, and please let me know how this works out.
A special thanks goes out to Tod Swormstedt, founder of the American Sign Museum!
On a recent trip to Louisville, Kentucky I spent a couple of hours walking along Main and Market streets looking for old signs. I’m not sure what draws me to old signs painted on brick walls but I sure do enjoy studying them. Like old abandoned buildings they make my mind wonder. Who painted them? Is the business still around? For that matter is the sign company still around? I do know enough about the sign industry to safely say, sign painters who created these old signs, like the signs themselves are a rarity.
This was one of my first trips with my new 22 megapixel Canon 5D Mark II so one of my goals was to shoot some panoramics to see how my trusty Macintosh tower was going to deal with stitching such large images. A few of these images are panoramics compiled from 12-16 vertical images. At full resolution one of them comes in at 820 megabyte! Those of you that are technically challenged… that’s huge! I could wallpaper a 70 foot hallway with 12 foot ceilings with this image. Not sure what I’m going to do with all those pixels, but man is it great to have them!
