Thought I'd post my favorite panoramic landscape. I am a nut for panoramas and the opportunities don't get much better
than Dead Horse Pt. Love to see yours.

Hi George,

Great photo. I also checked out your gallery, you have some really good stuff there. I hope to add a panorama I did of the Tetons later. I don't do many myself as I still have not found a decent stitching program, and I find the labor that some of you folks go through in order to make them come out in PS really impressive. :P

Cheers
James

Beautiful image. I assume that this is at Dead Horse SP in Utah. Wonderful area. I need to get back there to capture some digital images.

Thanks James. I really feel that panoramas are the best way to capture an expansive landscape. I've
tried UWA but I hate the distortions it creates. I use Arcsoft's Panoramamaker4 to do the stitching
and it works fine for most scenes. I've always been too cheap to get PTGUI which I really think
is the best stitching software out there. I think the real key to a good panorama is the camera setup.
I always balance my Gitzo and then use a hotshoe spirit level to balance the camera. Again I'm too
cheap to buy a leveling base.

Thanks Bill. Dead Horse it is. I think alot of people really miss out by not driving out there
when they're headed to Arches or Moab. I think it's one of the best views in the Western US. One of
these years I'm going to figure out how to get down to the river.

And one from my first outing with my D70 back in 2004.



I havent been doing many lately...at least that qualify as panos...

This one is 3 portrait style shots together to make a shot that is equal to 30MP, but it holds to normal aspect ratios:


Look forward to seeing others shots!!!

Roman,

I was hoping you would contribute some of your great panos to this thread. I remember the tulip festival
one from DPReview a while back.

I also started taking panos back in my P&S days with my Olympus 5050. It had a pano mode
that did a great job of stitching things together. Here is one of my first ones of Donner Pass.

Show-offs. All of you. Some of these are amazing, and make me hesitate to put up my more mundane stuff.

Roman - that third pano blows my mind. Very very cool (the unnamed really really big one).

Ok, I am itching to try my hand at this.
So basically you tripod the camera, be sure its level, then pivot and take 3 or so shots? Then take it to Photoshop from there for a stitch?
Sound about right?

Here goes nothin...
