Hey Andrew,

Very nicely done on your first attempt! Did you use a program, or did you do it yourself in PS? While I can see signs of the stitch marks, I think that with a little pp they can easily be cleaned up.

Here it is. First pano ever.
Flawless if you squint!
6 shots. I still need to figure out a few camera settings, but I think I have the gist of the technique down.
Can't wait to capture a beautiful Kansas sunset to share.






Andrew,

Excellent image. Just watch out now, this can become addictive.

Stitch marks? You didn't squint did you James?

I just freehanded it in PS. I think the stitching will be better with better photos. I turned the autofocus off on the lens, but the camera still made minor adjustments to the focus between pics.

Thanks glamson! I can see how it could be addictive.

Andrew,

A couple of other tips I use.

Lock the exposure on the brightest part of the scene you are shooting to prevent uneven
exposure between frames.

Don't use a polarizer. It will cause uneven sky that will make blends problematic.

I'll have to get out the user manual on locking the exposure.

Thanks though.

Andrew......just shoot manual with preset WB and you will be fine. Take a couple of test shots to determins exposure (se histogram) and leave it in manual mode. Preset your WB and leave it. Delete your test photos.... Then shoot away!!

Outstanding panoramas! Mine doesn't belong in the same league as those above but here's the giant Meteor Crater in Arizona. It's a mile wide and you're standing on the edge so other than multi-shot panoramas, don't know of anything but a fisheye that could get it all in.



That was taken with my old 2mp Olympus C-2100UZ, before I got my Nikon.

Regards,

Dick:)

Dick,

This is a great shot of the crater especially considering the equipment you used. Actually, it was
the ability to actually make a fairly high resoulution photo with enought scope that first got
me so excited about the panorama technique. This was something that digital photography had
that was almost impossible with film unless you had a specialized (read expensive) panoramic
camera. Thanks for sharing.

George

Thank you, George. Having the ability to make those digital panos sure did open up the ability to record some of those wide scenes. I used it for the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and a few other places on our Western Tour but wish now I'd have thought about it for some other places.

Here's another from The Little Big Horn, the memorial for the indians who participated in the battle, three shots taken with the same camera. The last figure in the line is a depiction of Chief Crazy Horse.



Regards,

Dick:)


Every day is a good day.

Enjoyed looking at all of your panoramics.

Here is one of mine from my Teton trip in October.

This is a stitch of 2 images....Nikon D200 with 24mm nikkor manual lens.
