360° PANOPTIC  PHOTOGRAPHY  EXPERIMENTS
Michel DUSARIEZ, Ludovic PIERROUX & Lars R. LARSEN.
     
New technical approaches to panoptic photography and the three inventors 
have been sporting enough to present their findings to the public. Not only 
do they fairly divide the merits, but they also reveal their invention 
totally unselfishly, not covering up any of the details. They even add the 
instructions which enable skilfull amateurs to construct their own panoptic 
materials, using elements which are simple and inexpensive.
     
The last English version, revised and extended on 166 pages is now again 
available. It examines in details different 360° panoptic system which are 
easy to built, with diagrams and advice. Additional article,about stereo 3D 
panoptic photography on 360°, Polaroid 4x5 Panoptic 360°  and panoptic 360° 
underwater experiments, and with report on the First EUROMEETING held in 
Brussels in 1996.  ISBN 2-9600048-1-7.
     
Price : 900 BF (about U.S.$ 25.00 at Dec 97 exchange rate), package and 
airmail postage include everywhere.
     
Only credit cards VISA, MASTERCARD accepted. Sorry bank cheque can not be

NEW GENERAL INFORMATIONS
     
Press Communique
     
from  Michel DUSARIEZ - Optician - Brussels - BELGIUM
     
In my pursuit of new processes in the area of panoptical 360° photography, 
I came, in the beginning of 1996 upon the idea to create a panoptical 
camera to cover 360° using 4" x 5" sheet film. The main aim was to use the 
Polaroid instantaneous process with film of that format.
     
This project is a continuation of my experiments with 360° panoptical 
photography from kites, under water and finally in 3.D stereo.
     
My completely novel 3-D, 360°  stereo system made me a laureate of the 
Belgian Royal Academy - Science Classes,  the De BOLPAEPE Award - 34th 
biannual  period - 1st. January 1994 - 31st December 1995.
     
This distinction was awarded to me for this new combination of processes 
combined to produce 360° panoramic photographs covering 110° vertically 
with a special prototype stereoscopic camera in one single take and on one 
single film  to make it possible with a special viewer to reconstitute 
complete stereoscopic relief over all 360°.
     
Thanks to the use of extremely short focal lengths, the length of a 
negative covering 360° is less that 110 mm. This makes it possible to 
construct a camera using Polaroid instantaneous film, type 55 (positive 
with re-useable negative) or 4" x 5" sheet film.
     
The Polaroid film back is fixed to a carriage which slides along parallel 
to and behind the lens to expose the film through a slit while the whole 
camera rotates to take in the scene.
     
The very first succesfull tests were carried out on the July 17, 1996.
     
The abovementioned processes and especially the one using Polaroid film are 
described in the new fifth edition of the book

An other book.
     
AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY TAKEN FROM A KITE - Yesterday and today, by G. de 
BEAUFFORT and M. DUSARIEZ - KAPWA EDITIONS  (English version )142 pages, 34 
illustrations -  950 Belgian francs, surface mailing include everywhere - 
airmail : additional  200 b frs.
     
The book is a theoretical and practical guide, fully illustrated with 
diagrams and photographs, designed for beginners as well as the more 
experienced.
     
Taking material from the best sources, the archives put together by 
KAPWA over a period of 10 years, the authors propose a selection of the 
most straightforward procedures which have been carried out by the
most successful aerial kite photographers in the world.
     
A very complete review of present and past systems, a reminder of the 
applications which are used most frequently, many practical tips and a 
history of the evolution of this activity, from the beginnings in 1888 up 
to the present : these are the main elements in this new book.
     
There is also a very practical list of addresses useful for amateurs, a 
wide bibliography and the republication translated in english of the first 
ever book published on the subject - "La Photographie Aérienne par 
Cerf-Volant " 1890, by the inventor of the process, Arthur BATUT.
