الْـكَـبـيـرْ (the grand);

I've definitely posted this panorama before but in other formats. This is another rendition using Mercator vertical projection, and using RAW files instead of HDR slides. I think I like this one more than older versions done in HDR.

Beyond Abzu (2012);

This is a recreation of an old panorama done back in 2012, using only RAW files without rendering any HDR as I did originally. Actually I've made a large size format and for some time it was offered in some photostock websites, but all that is gone by now. Typically after doing such panoramas I'd end up soaking and freezing (all done in winter).

Islamic Museum (TV) - 2015;

I don't show this collection a lot. This panorama is part of a series that I would call "my only commissioned work". Shot these panoramas (for different parts of a museum) as the curators were preparing a new calendar for 2016 with images from the museum in that calendar. This panorama here, in what I call "tunnel vision" (hence the "TV"), is not part of that set - these were created some time after the submission of the original panoramas and after the production of that said calendar.
In this room or exhibit, various items of Islamic nature were displayed, I believe mostly donated by collectors.

Jabreen Heaven (2015);

Jabreen castle is situated in Oman (probably in the state of Bahla, but my memory here is fuzzy). This vertical panorama was shot in the middle of the main court (or maybe not court but more like a hall of sort with doors leading to various parts of the fort). I think this fort dates back to that time when the Portuguese were occupying Oman and the ruler back then established this fort as part of his wartime effort, resisting the Portuguese forces (and later became like a residence). All this history is from my fuzzy memory, so if anyone would like proper history, probably should do a research on it.
The architecture, and the enclosed space with this reddish clay made it a perfect place for all sort of surreal projections with this panorama.

Parachute (2012);

Another panorama from the archives, and this time a stereoscopic (a.k.a. little planet) for the Scientific Center; This is where the aquarium is, from which I've posted some fish and shark shots before
The outside of the center, which is depicted here, is a nice place to sit (when the whether permits), but I've kind of hated this panorama; specifically the original plane flat one. Though shot in 2012, this one here was done later in 2015. I think I prefer this one to the older versions now.

An Seomra Bricfeasta (2010);

The breakfast room of Thornbrook House (B&B). Though shot in 2010, and though I did stitch this panorama in this perspective, but this is a new make of it done in 2016 - probably because I learned more about panorama stitching at that time and decided to do it again because this panorama in particular was problematic when I first stitched it. It could also be just a change in the order (center point) of the panorama from the old stitch
