they arent done with a fish eye lens, they are done by taking multiple pics and stitching them together using a program on my computer i could crop them to clean them up, but i like them this way for some reason ---

autostitch go into options, set image size to 100%, image quality to 100%, and if the pics are taken w/ the camera on its side click one of the clockwise / anticlockwise options clockwise / anticlockwise is also used for vertical type panoramas, as the program cant comprehend the idea of stacking one pic directly on another, and the final result comes out shaped like a trumpet vertical panoramas will come out rotated onto their side, requiring a simple 90\* rotate to be viewed properly i suggest not having anything else running when u stitch large pics together at full quality, double the # of pics seams to be 4 times as much work for the program, so maybe start low on the scale % quality settings and work up from there to see what your computer will take if you dont have baller a processor / ram capacity ---

probably pretty slim, i want to walk out on the low roof but i gotta get a good look at it first, as its the same slab of concrete that is seen all cracked inside the building on top of the silos i expect the outside section to be in better condition cause its sealed with tar and gravel ---

Nice shots. Looks like a good one! Have you ever checked out [http://www.opacity.us/](http://www.opacity.us/)? Great site. Theres a couple places listed on there that I have been in, that guy has been EVERYWHERE. I have been in this one, which is gone now. [http://www.opacity.us/site34\_broadacres\_hospital.htm](http://www.opacity.us/site34_broadacres_hospital.htm) I stopped bringing my camera in places since the guys I usually go with bring theirs which are newer and better than mine. So I really dont have too many pics of places I have been in. And its been a while since I have really gone anywhere also. This is one of my fav places, its an old powerstation to a factory. Its been closed since 1968. Unfortunately the only pic I can find of it has my old car in it. whoops. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/doctarbombay/factory.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/doctarbombay/factory.jpg) ---
