If this blog has become too quiet, then that's because the entire site is currently under heavy construction.

I wasn't planning for this. It just happened that updating to OS X Snow Leopard caused a chain reaction, breaking my website generator first, then some important plugins, and ultimately this website. Along the way I realized that the whole site requires some serious house cleaning. First victim was the German language version. Sorry "Freunde". As soon as I find a way to update German along with the English pages, I'll bring it back.

My apologies to everyone I promised a review or featurette here. Don't worry, it's going to happen, once I get this rocking boat back under control.

In the meantime, why don't you check out a new panorama: Downtown LA at Golden Hour, made from 224 exposures, resulting in a massive 18.000 x 9.000 full 360 degree EXR pano. I used the Promote Control for shooting this piece. Which, by the way, is heavily discussed by some of the most profilic pano pros with the Promote developer Arty in this thread. Great to see Arty take suggestions and ideas serious, amoung them user interface improvements, a pocket to mount on the tripod, and a back scratcher.

PS: Even when things are under construction, I still snuck in a new sIBL-of-the-month.
You didn't think I let you down, did you?
