That one doesnt really work, those are not full planets.

Look up stereographic projections on google. You need to shoot a full 360x180 degree panorama and use a stereographic projection to render it. I usually use Hugin for my panorama needs

Having had the FF Canon 5Dmkll. Having the K5 I really don't know why so many people dismiss the Q as just a point and shoot or not worth the money or the sensor is to small to take good photos. Kind of makes me mad. Im really loving this little camera I think the photos are awesome. I was looking at photos of this same plant taken with the K7 and I would say the Qs are better. Alls I have to do is make some 8X10 prints from the Q and sell them and I can start calling the Q a pro camera.

Here are some using the 02 zoom lens with a cheap Ebay wide-convertor : 2012 Pentax Q Wide Angle - a set on Flickr

Duck and Lizard shots are using a 70-205mm cheap lens attached to the Q using a Q-C mount and then a C-K mount adapter.

Some moon shots with the same 200mm Vivitar lens on a tripod. Post Process work done to clear up contrast and some sharpening. First image is a cropped version, second is full size from Q.

@ bmonki

Awesome photos. Especially the second and third.
Are they made with the prime lens?
Which settings did you use for the second, besides high contrast?

Thanks,
Joerg

wanderography · 04-04-2012, 03:10 PM

thanks... No they were not shot with the prime if they were they would be sharper, the prime is super unreal legit, especially with the OV-F1... The high contrast was shot with SLR Magic and the wine was wide open with the sonnetar, the sonnetar also gets ruthless sharp at f4...

EDIT: the high contrast was shot raw at f4 super high shutter speed as I cant stop down past f4 as sensor stains show up (my own fault I think I let my Q get dirty im sending it in, pentax is gonna clean it for free) and then I converted it in camera with the high contrast filter and that was it really...
