Hey gang, been "hired" to re-design the website of www.losamigoshostel.com and I just whipped up a nifty little intro with what few skills I have in FLASH design.

Would love some feedback.

Check out the new entry page at www.losamigoshostel.com/indexnuevo.htm and let me know.

It is just an entry page, no links work yet do don't bother clicking to go any further.

Thanks.

Saludos,
jer...

Looks very cool. I particularly like the PIX Maker pictures. Can you tell me if these are difficult to make? As I understand it, you need to take a number of pictures - say 8 or 10 - for the entire circle, and then the Pix Maker just stitches them together? This is excellent for bringing any view to life and I saw an example of some other websites which are awesome.

Can't wait to learn more about website designing when I get more 'dedicated' time. My own pages shrink into insignificance compared with yours.

But I am keen to add some 360 pics !

Hey all, glad ya like it.

Nige, although I was asking you for feedback on the one new entry page at www.losamigoshostel.com/indexnuevo.htm , I appreciate your feedback on the 360� virtual hostel tour I did for them.

I did not design the current Los Amigos site at www.losamigoshostel.com and do not like it. Hence the redesign starting with the www.losamigoshostel.com/indexnuevo.htm page Cool

Hey Nige, have you seen my 36 Madrid panoramics at www.multimadrid.com/panoramics or have you only been on the message board?

Check them out if you have not yet done so!

I would say that I take between 10 and 16 photos in a circle with my tripod, each photo overlaping the previous one by about 25-30% in order to capture a scene. It depends on the depth of the scene you are shooting.

Yes, then it is off to the PIX Maker program ( www.pixaround.com ) to do the rest.

After stitching and publishing, it helps if you know a bit about editing a Java applet to bring it all together but practice makes perfect Big Grin

The most important step is the photo taking, I have had to go back and reshoot a few times due to poor light and the PIX maker not being able to blend well enough to not note the seems. The best days to shoot are either those without a cloud in the sky or those that are mostly cloudy since the light is uniform. The problems arise when sun is in and out and your photos have huge light differential in them, making it impossible to stitch and blend seemlessly.

Have fun!

Saludos,
jer...

Those 360 panoramas of MADRID are superb. There are far more things on your website than I realised! The pictures are very clear and I especially liked the 3 different views of the Prado BUT why don't you get permission to do the insides as well ! (only kidding!)

The FLASH design is clean sharp and easy on the eye - and clever with the 2 Os. It is very tempting for some web designers to fill up the Intro page with a very tedious slow loading one, but nevertheless clever Flash page. But this one is nice.
