Malta Guide - Features
The Republic of Malta is a small and densely-populated island nation in southern Europe. It consists of an archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea directly south of Italy and north of Africa. These strategically-located islands have been ruled and fought over by various powers over the centuries.

Images were photographed as 3 rows of 10 photos, horizon, 45 degrees up and 45 degrees down.
Images were then 'stitched' to produce a panoramic strip image using RealVIZ Stitcher, retouched and colour corrected (enhanced?!) in Photoshop then converted to low res web-streaming Quicktime VR Movies using Cubic Converter (Mac OSX only!).

December 2005: The tour is now available as Cylindrical FLASH movies as an alternative for users which are unable / do not wish to install QuickTime on their (bosses?) computer.
