Lookouts

We have created several variations of linked nodes and object movies of standing lookouts, each has its own character.

Bull of the Woods, Mt. Hood 14 This lookout is the same as the majority of those built in Region 6 in the 1930's, the L-4 model. It sits on a 10-foot tower. As you can see, its condition is less than satisfactory; many of the windows are broken, the shutters in disrepair.

This prototype QTVR scene (linked object and node movies) was taken June 30, 1997 by Rob Hoeye of IamWho Panoramic Imaging. The object movie is inferior from two aspects: it only has 18 frames, making it jumpy, and the single angle view is below the main floor level (following the contour of the surrounding terrain) making the rotation undulate. Click on the stairs to go inside the lookout, the door to get back outside, on the roof to see an unobstructed panorama of the area.

QTVR Used as an Illustrative Comparison Mechanism

Dome Rock, Willamette 15 In 1996, we received our first scanning of a set of photos. We had just taken a panoramic photo from the same place, however, having copies ofthe originals would have alerted us to the actual height and positions that our camera needed to be to match the originals. As it is, we took our photo with the assumption that the original had been taken from the roof of a ground-house. This was an incorrect assumption, however, the resultant comparative movie is quite interesting.
Click in any direction and the image will toggle between 1933 and 1996. Keep your cursor in the center of the frame when toggling to avoid "stepping" around the pano's.
