Meanwhile, the rest of the world uses multiple cameras aimed out from a single point, and stitches the images together digitally to produce a result of significantly higher quality than any single lens can produce.
i would like to see sample pics taken with that lens
You can see the modern cars to the very left of the picture. I have reduced the size of the picture here for the forum.
What? I don’t see any modern cars…
[rubs eyes]
I must be more tired than I thought; maybe I should go to bed.
Orsm. What happened to the Draught horses? They been smoking dope again?
Edit. Ya better give me a lesson. Who wants to mod the original?
the curvature of the road is also different, and the colour of the car is totally incorrect for the era, every automotive enthusiast knows Henry Ford said “any colour is fine as long as its neon green”
At the time these lenses where produced, digital photography for all practical purposes didn’t exist. Let alone stitching software. Today we are so spoiled with all this inexpensive technology.
The 220 degrees photographs are stunning including all the distortion and chromatic aberrations. I’ll see if I can find some.
I can totally to this!
Please send me a link to the highest res file you have and I’ll get it done. 
The car is a Maxwell. Not a Henry Ford product. Thanks Kodachrome 40.
Would you like to make it look like an old picture?
How did you go about getting this one? Did you take a picture with your G15? That’s how I digitalize an old photo, take a nice clean close-up with the Canon.
Anyway, would be more than happy to fix that up for you.
From the small pic, a few choices…
The picture was taken by one of the car club members just snapping away and thought dad might like it. I think its a shame the mirror is in the way but then it may be a blessing in disguise. 
Could remove the mirror and have him smiling with his shades on. Of course, if they’d put the steering wheel on the correct side, you wouldn’t have that issue…
removing the mirror, thats a professional retouching job! (it can probably be done with some other pictures of your father to clone from)
it’s just a couple of bolts and it comes right off!
I´m sending you a PM with two pictures of my parents i´d love to have in better condition.They were scanned with my crappy scanner, i don’t know if they are OK to fix
EDIT:
yes, now you mention it, i see, it´s an easy job… piece of cake!
Okay, sorry about that. My bad. I fixed the image according to everyone’s feedback.
You are a bunch of funny buggers. I’ll give the old man a laugh and link him here. He’ll be amazed as well as I am for what you can do. Sorry if the thread has been just slightly derailed but I’ve had a good laugh. :bigsmile:
doesn’t it need some slicks in the back, flames coming off the front fenders, and maybe just one more mirror? The new cars to the left need spoked wheels too, and an Ooogah horn on the fender.
flames! yes, please!
PM received, working on you images. :nerd_face:
