Info View from Mt Oxford, Oxford Forest Conservation Area, Canterbury, New Zealand. I just like the view. It has a nice atmosphere or early spring that is arriving to New Zealand. -- Podzemnik (talk) 10:41, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~* Neutral~~ - I really like to see the whole panoramic view from this mountain. Why are we fed off with a clipping? --Milseburg (talk) 12:19, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Selecting a part of a view hinges on composition of a photo while 360 panos are more about complete photographic documentation. Two different kinds of photography, both appreciated here on FPC since they can be used as illustrations in different ways. --Cart (talk) 12:36, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of course and rightly much appreciated. But I think if it succeeds, the whole view would be more appreciated then just a section. I do not understand the choice of the right and left limits here even after reading title and description. Then there is the user-friendliness: If desired, each user can only use the section of a full panoramic view. Conversely, that does not work. --Milseburg (talk) 15:23, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it comes down to what kind of photos you like taking and are comfortable doing. I've tried 360 panos, but they never come out well since the sun always gets in the way, at least up here in the north where the sun isn't that high in the sky. --Cart (talk) 16:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Milseburg I'm not into 360 panoramas. I find them a bit hard to use. As Cart mentioned, selection of the frame is up to a photographer. I can't capture everything in one frame so I select what I want to say with the photo and execute. I also wonder why you wrote that because you also produce panoramas like this. --Podzemnik (talk) 06:55, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The theme of that panorama are the Hochkalter mountains, it shows the Hochkalter mountains and it´s used in de:Hochkaltergebirge and also now in en:Hochkalter Mountains. If I had called it "View from Prünzlkopf" , I had presented like this. I am sure you are presenting the filet piece of the view here and it is very good and you had good conditions. I am far from opposing. But my enthusiasm is limited this time by the left and right margins. I would like to encourage you to try a 360 panorama the next time if you want to show the "view" of any mountain, while such a good seeing. It would be worthwhile. --Milseburg (talk) 10:13, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Milseburg So if the file was named "View north-west from Mt Oxford towards Southern Alps", that would be alright for you? That's what's written in the description. Sorry but I'm not a fun of 360 panoramas. I find them quite hard to use and they just display what you can see from the top. With 360, I'm often missing some kind of composition, or naturally set borders of the frame. I mean, your 360 panoramas are great, it's just no my thing :) By the way, if you really want to know how the pano would continue, you can check this image - there was a bushfire that day. --Podzemnik (talk) 10:29, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another name would let me miss the continuation on the right and left side as well. Colin does not like these resulting letter-boxformats either, but my eyes and my head seem so constrained to me when the view looks promising like yours and ends so abruptly. The question of what one sees from the summit is by no means trivial. It drives people to the mountains and I find it worthwhile to show it all. That is also the original meaning of the word "panorama". Okay, the bushfire would have disturbed my enjoyment of the view that day and spoiled a 360 panorama. Convinced, a section is the better choice here. So I vote Support now. I hope the fire was not deliberately laid and is now cleared. --Milseburg (talk) 11:27, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
