I recently switched to drupal for my photography website. It can be found at
It is mostly based on the modules image, views, gmap and location. Have a look and let me know what you like/don't like, or if anything appears to be broken!
Thanks for visiting!

Beautiful pictures and very cool site
Beautiful pictures and very cool site. The interactive panormas are awesome.
The only thing I am missing is some sort of navigation, e.g. a filmstrip or links to previous and next images.
Can you please provide som em ore details on the implementation.

sweet site
sick! I love your site. It seems like you have too many lines - I would go simpler.
I'd also be interested in how you set everything up in drupal.
Yeah, previous/next links
Yeah, previous/next links with thumbnails is something I really miss, too. I tried very hard along those lines: http://drupal.org/node/45050 - but I never succeeded with having multiple terms per image. For the moment I use views for a similar effect (see e.g. here: http://www.marzeion.com/new_images/paging), showing full nodes. Unfortunately, the gmap-functionality is lost that way.
But just now I found this: http://drupal.org/node/98883 - maybe worth another try...
The panoramas are using a viewer called Spi-V - have a look at www.fieldofview.nl (also a drupal site!) for that. So the interactive panorama nodes are realy just images with only thumbnails attached, and the code to include the panorama viewer is in the description - very simple.
Good to hear you like it!

Panoramas
Benma,
I need to develop a website with panoramic images in DRUPAL 5.7. I was really impressed with www.fieldofview.nl Could you please tell me more on how you handle the integration between fieldofview and drupal? What modules did you use? If would be great if you could also tell me how to generate the panoramic image.
Thanks a lot,

Hi Andres, sorry for my late
Hi Andres,
sorry for my late reply.
I don't use any special modules for the Spi-V integration: The panorama nodes are basic image nodes (from the image module). I upload an image, delete all the versions drupal creates, except for the thumbnail, and then I put the code that creates the panorama into the body of the image node.
E.g., the body of one of the panoramas looks like this:
<p id="pano"><object width=585px height=400px classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,1,0">
<param name=src value="</panos_folder/dswmedia/SPi-V.dcr">
<param name=swURL value="arches1.xml">
<param name=swStretchStyle value="stage">
<param name=progress value="false">
<param name=logo value="false">
<param name=bgColor value="#000000">
<embed width=585px height=400px type="application/x-director"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/"
src="/panos_folder/dswmedia/SPi-V.dcr" swURL="arches1.xml"
swStretchStyle="stage" progress="false" logo="false" bgColor="white">
</embed>
</object>
</p>

Drag your mouse to pan, and use the Shift- and Ctrl-keys to zoom.
I create the panoramic images with a dedicated tripod head (something like this: http://www.nodalninja.com/ - but if you have some skill, you can construct something a lot cheaper yourself) and an ordinary SLR.
I stitch the images uses hugin: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
(Actually the site still runs on drupal 4.7, but I don't see why it shouldn't work in 5.7)
Cheers,
Ben.
