Comparing images from Opernplatz, Frankfurt am Main (2004 and 2014)
The upcoming World Wide Panorama (WWP) event is entitled ‘decade’.
In the time frame of a decade even a city can change it’s appearance. So I searched for panoramic images which I shot in 2004 and which were shot at a place which changed over the last ten years. The best example was a image of the Opernplatz, which I took back in 2004 as a cylindrical panorama. And the view of the Opernplatz (which translates to ‘the square of the opera’) indeed changed a lot in the last ten years.
So I went back and stood at the same spot where I stood a decade ago. First I took a spherical panorama with my double monopod construction. Afterwards I did a remake of the original cylindrical panorama. The following image shows the two cylindrical panoramas in a single composite.

The original panorama from 2004 is also available on the blog.

The first silver award was assigned for the following reprojection of this spherical panorama. It reached the 40th place in the category ‘The Built Environment – Open Award‘.
The second silver award was assigned to the following image. It reached the 11th place in the category ‘Nature – Amateur Award‘.

Like being on the Moon
When you drive north of the volcano Hekla towards the area of Landmannalaugar you almost feel like being on the Moon. However I’m not completely sure, because I’ve not yet been to the Moon 😉
