The
panoramas can be viewed dynamically by clicking on the
images. These are
QuickTime
*.mov files and need the appropriate software to run them.
They can also be quite large so may take some time to
download, even if you have Broadband. |

The shore of the Dead Sea
from the Marriott Hotel
This panorama is not as
good as it could be because of the vignette caused by the
lens used, but it gives a good representation of the
North and North West shores of the Dead Sea - it is perhaps
pushing the limits as the most of the subject is 10
Kilometres or more from the camera so the lens has been set
to the maximum zoom of 200mm (35mm equivalent = 300mm) and
the panorama is made up of 32 images |
