London Eye panorama[edit]

Reflections visible, really poor stitching.

  • Delist. I'm surprised people don't fall out of the half-cars more often. Stephen Turner (Talk) 20:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist Pretty bad stiching, blown out area, and low quality -Ravedave (help name my baby) 20:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per nom, also tilted and blurry with blown-out sky. --KFP 20:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - This is a horrible London panorama. The sky is overexposed, it was taken out of a glossy window, and there are numerous stitching mistakes. The panorama isn't even widely used on notable Wikipedia pages. --Ineffable3000 04:04, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist How come this ever became featured? I saw no voting page among the links. --Janke | Talk 06:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • This was promoted long long ago, before the advent of voting (I don't know exactly what happened back then, maybe it was just one user's opinion). There was a delist nomination in July 2004 which garnered no comments, so I guess it never got delisted. Considering it's missing from WP:FP and WP:FPV it might actually have been delisted, but there's no record either way. I didn't notice how bad it was until I was adding {{picture of the day}} to the old POTDs (this one was back in June 2004). howcheng {chat} 06:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist. Dreadful quality (image and stitching). Nauticashades 18:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist Just not pretty. Staxringold talkcontribs 15:47, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist I did not even know it was featured. At the time I uploaded it there was not much London-Fotos in Wikipedia, so I just thought it would be nice for people to see how it looks like from above. But it was just a snapshot ;-) Fantasy 17:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - I think the reasoning goes unsaid here. --ZeWrestler Talk 14:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per all -- Lego@lost Rocks Collide! 06:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- One reason (among others) why this panorama contains stitching errors is because the viewpoint is not stationary, and cannot be. The passenger capsules on the London Eye are in constant motion, albeit at a slow rate. Thus any panorama made from separately captured images will necessarily have regions of discontinuity, because the camera's nodal point isn't fixed across the component images. Specialized equipment should be used to take a single-shot panorama of this angle. --Wickerprints 09:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
