Caption

Once upon a time, back In 1997, I read an article about the Apple Quicktime Authoring Tool in one of those magazines we had subscribed to at work. I was fascinated but also sceptical, especially about the perspective being constantly adjusted when viewing the panorama. An acquaintance happened to have a copy of the software, so on my way home I stopped near the Munster and took the photos with the only camera I had at hand, a little olympus compact camera. I had the film developed over night, picked up the prints the next day, scanned them and build my very first panorama. Not much to look at – but it worked!
