Welcome to www.360photo.org.
This site holds all my private panoramas and additionally some tutorials and photos I like. The site is owned and maintained by me, Serge Maandag.
I am a hobby photographer and panorama enthousiast. The knowledge I have of panorama techniques comes from the PanoToolsNG yahoo group, the panotools wiki and a lot of self study.
As you may have guessed from the previous sentence, I am an enthousiastic user of the panorama tools, a.k.a. the PanoTools. The panorama tools were developed by professor Helmut Dersch. Prof. Dersch developed, maintained and supported the tools until he got threatened by a big american firm which claimed to have some patents regarding the stitching of panoramas. Currently the tools are being developed by some gifted volunteers. They host the tools on a sourceforge site. A mirror of prof. Dersch' old site can be found here.

On the 10th of July 2009 our very good friends Alex and Ellen got married in the monumental town hall of Middelburg. Stylish and creative as they are, the bride made the wedding dress herself. The groom is dressed in a great looking Armani suit. Tiro, their cute son, sitting on his lap is also suited up.

Malta is perhaps best known for its Malta busses. On Malta you will find busses in service that date back to the 1960's. Until a few years back even older busses were used, but (probably) for security reasons they were taken out of commission. The older busses are quite cute and nostalgic, but if you have to travel longer distances, the lack of s..
The cities of Malta have a habit of looking quite shabby. So did a lot of the hotels until a few years back. Recognizing this fact and not wanting to become a cheap ugly holiday destination, the Maltese government decided that new hotels were only allowed to be built if they are 5 star hotels. Since tourism really boomed the last few years, ther ..
