Nice - I remember years ago (about ten) when the buses kept crashing into parked cars.
It is Beautiful in the snow.
Hi, I took 4 images 90° apart with an 8mm fisheye lens (180 ° field of view) plus one facing upwards and one down (minus the tripod)
..stitched them together with a program called PTGui ....this program stitches the images seamlessly matching identical areas in each pic so it all blends in to one long 360° image, in theory anyway,
... whilst taking the first couple of pics, snow fell off some of the branches, making the branch sit higher due to less weight, this has caused a slight mismatch and blurring in the final image
this can be sorted by manually adding my own "control points" .. but it was just a quick pano, so I didnt bother 
To get myself in the image I had to use the timer function, not easy with gloves on then rushing to get into position through the snow!
This image is then sent to my other program for creating the tour (Pano2VR)
I first started creating panos a year ago with the intention of creating virtual tours for b&b's , hotels, restaurants etc, but its been quite a steep learning curve :yikes: so i'm not quite making my fortune..... yet!!
PTGui is a great stitching program, its not free (I think it has a trial though) and will stitch hand held pics taken with a point and shoot camera as long as they overlap well (best taken in portrait format), but there may be exposure differences that effect blending if you cant shoot in manual..

We had got away with snow till this morning,which coincidentaly fell on the same day as a shopping day, we got stuck along with 5 other cars on the hill outside our village,luckily after an hour a friend with a 4x4 pulled us up the hill, its continued snowing ever since and are usual 1 hr there and back trip took 5hrs, weve seen no gritters for a week the A1 is murder, on the way back we passed a truck that was stuck causing a massive tailback, just what are they doing with all this grit they say they have?From this morming to now appox 5-6 inches with more on its way oh joy, My brother who is meant to coming up is still stuck in plymouth,looks like my trip to the west coast will be postponed.
Got about 3 inches here. Went for a bit of a wander round beacon fell yesterday, loads of people sledding (including us 
) getting up in a car was impossible so had to walk about a mile to get there.
Looking out towards the west just next to the visitor centre
Looking North West out towards the lakes and Heysham from the top.

With that much snow grits not going to help.
It is nice and quiet down here without any jets flying over head. Getting to work will be fun tomorrow, but really looking forward to Boxing Day when I'm aloud to go and play in the woods!
