HITCHIN 360 EXHIBITION AT HITCHIN MUSEUM
A PANORAMA OF PANORAMAS

Nikon CP950 - 9 images stitched with Panorama Tools. 12 January 2001

The "Hitchin 360" exhibition, at Hitchin Museum from 23/12/00 to 11/2/01, comprises two galleries of panoramas taken by local photographer Mike Howarth. In addition to the prints hung on the walls, panoramas were availble for viewing on the PC using a QuickTime viewer. A novel feature was a group of aerial shots of the town and surrounding countryside taken from a helicopter. The exhibition prints were from 35mm images scanned to PhotoCD, stitched by Apple's QuickTime VR 4.01and printed by Photo Finish on an Encad Novojet digital printer .

My thanks to The Hitchin Museum for giving permission to photograph the gallery, and to Mike Howarth and the Museum's curator, Gill Riding, for sanctioning the display of the panorama here.   Mike Howarth is Director MHM Services (VR) and senior lecturer in Digital Production at West Herts College, Watford.
