Theta S spherical Samples and scheisser downtime

yesterday my friends and I were at a Bockbieranstich in Bamberg. I was brave enough to bring the Theta with me and we tried around with the settings and long time exposure. The photo quality is quite nice and much better than I expected. We were most surprised about the results in the night at ISO100 and 8 seconds aperture. In the photos we registered even stars! Video works well too even at bad light situations and at night.

But there are few bugs in the whole setup. The wifi connection refuses sometimes, the theta app hangs up often and in the photos there are sometimes pink spots where I am sure they are affected by the material of the spherical lenses itself. This is not a big problem and makes the photos much interesting in my opinion.

For sharing photos there is only the theta360 portal there… which is a little weak. For sharing there are only a few options like facebook, twitter and tumblr. I don´t use one of these and don´t plan to jump on the horse in the future.

Two days ago I tested around to bring the 360×360 panoramas into the scheisser.net blog. While changing settings I killed the whole website but since yesterday evening all is back in best conditions. I hope to get it done until tomorrow. Here are the samples from yesterday. Feel free to place a comment here if you do or don´t like it.
