Take as many pictures as you can be bothered and have at least three pictures overlap the same detail. I tried this in three different locations. The first one was a shopping center. I set the n95 to photograph every ten seconds as I walked but soon realised that this was too slow. That&#8217;s when I went to burst mode and photographed the main hall where the elevators were, then the view from the parking lot, and finally in a field where the hay was ready for storage. <\/p>\n<p>In each case I took a sequence of 30-150 images at once. I then sorted the pictures out by sequence before letting photosynth do all the crunching. After a while th result came out and I had a 3D environment in which to click from picture to picture to picture. <\/p>\n<p>The link from image to image is usually quite good although make sure not to leave too big a gap between two images as they will be isolated. Time for you to try it out, to have some fun.<br \/>\n<center>Hay<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=0 src=\"http:\/\/photosynth.net\/embed.aspx?cid=f863cb90-16c3-440d-8e62-6fa1ff7e48d8\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nArchitecture<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=0 src=\"http:\/\/photosynth.net\/embed.aspx?cid=96aaa45a-27db-438b-98fe-cd667925c894\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>Whilst it has been over two years since I last had a windows laptop today I took hundreds of pictures to play with Photosynth, a photo combining piece of software that runs on your machine before being uploaded to the web.
