I participated at the first "Wrinkle in Time" event, 10 years ago. So I decided to shoot the same place, at the same time, 10 years later. The first "wrinkle event" was very restrictive about the shooting time, the solstice, and the weather 10 years ago was so horrible I decided at that time to keep things simple, just bringing a simple street view of a small village. The idea was also "to be there and to support the event", the interest being also in the global contribution, with others' views. In the title was the idea "A collaborative synchronized effort by QTVR producers around the globe." We aren't doing anything else with the WWP now .... There was also 10 years ago a need to resist against a company that was trying to intimidate photographers, developers and companies in using some panorama technologies, and the Wrinkle in Time event was courageous enough to show the logo of this fight, it has to be said here. (See bottom of old Wrinkle home page) Another interesting point is the technological evolution: 10 years ago I needed to use a trick to be able to show the top of the church due to vertical field of view limitation at that time, no spherical view was possible in QuickTime Player: I had to have 2 movies (both linked together), one being bent to the top! ... Here we need to thanks all those worked hard to bring us all these new tools, the first being Pr. Helmut Dersch with Panorama Tools. I was to forget that 10 years ago wished everybody a "Joyeux Noel", same now!
