Panoramic Photos of a Full Lynah?

[CowbellGuy]

Yeah, possible/probable. That's another reason.

You've hit on an interesting question - who gets paid fees if you take pictures at a sporting event? Newspaper photographers in the past supplemented their incomes by selling prints for, say, $10 a pop, from sports events or fires or whatnot. That's small potatos. Now, the NY Times wants to sell prints by the hundreds of sporting events and Major League Baseball wants a cut of the action. Or Babe Ruth's estate does. It's an area in legal flux. Individuals photographed alone seem to be more contentious -- Tiger Woods is more likely to sue for a picture-for-sale of him alone than the Yankees are to sue for a picture taken of the entire Yankee Stadium during a game. I haven't gotten press passes lately but I believe a lot of them now say the pass is for the work you were assigned to do for your publication, not for selling stuff on and after.

Better to ask forgiveness than permission. Just take the picture.

Age,

You should probably at least put a price list somewhere. I too was unaware that you could buy prints/posters of these pictures. That single wide shot is especially nice.

Hi Age,

I hope I didn't send the wrong signal with that last message.  I have no intention of printing your photos.  Rather, I meant to ask you whether photos such as the one you took during the anthem would be of good enough quality for you to make the panaromic sized photos I originally inquired about?  As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'd be very willing to pay you to do this for me!

Cheers,
Mike

Ah, ok. Sorry. Well I ordered a print from Ofoto today, about 19" wide. Resolution isn't a problem. Guess we'll see how it comes out in a few days.

[RedJeff20]

If you think the photo is worth buying, I'd love to order one from you.  In addition, if you ever have any success with the other photos discussed in this thread, I'd be one happy customer.  

In any case, thanks for doing all of this.  Cornell hockey wouldn't be quite the same without it!

Cheers

I got the print. Quality is fine, but it came out a little brighter than I intended. They're approximately 7 1/2" tall by 20" wide, with about a 1/2" white border around the image. I have 4 of them and will offer them for $30 each. The next run will be darker, but they'll cost more. If you're going to be at Lynah this weekend, I can bring them there. If not, shipping will be about $5. Please e-mail me if you're interested.

bump. I've still got 2 left. If you want me to bring them to the game tomorrow, drop me an e-mail and you can take a look before or after the game.

Age,

I wished I could come get one from you.  However, I'm stuck in Salt Lake City for the weekend.

If they are still around after this weekend I'd love to get one from you.

Cheers,
Mike

I'm still not completely done with it, but here's a look at what the next panorama will probably look like. I changed from rectilinear to cylindrical. You get more of a fisheye look at the top, but there's less distortion at the sides and you can get more of the images in there.

Can I just assume that the pic is from Game 1 without being told otherwise?  That way I can enjoy it.

[CowbellGuy]

Heh. Yes, it's from game 1.

Is there some sort of VR environment (maybe with Flash) that this could be put into?  That would be cool.
