Ok, so I have great ones for this. The problem is they are on my Lap top which died. I dunno if my hard drive will be rescued in time

I knew I should have taken my backup HDD to Tokyo =/

Ok, if the babies will JUST go to sleep, I might have a chance to work on a couple of ideas.

you know, despite actually already having my pix set up for this, every time I see the contest name out of the corner of my eye it looks like “paranoiacs” 😛

cropped for effect…does this count, or does it need to be even wider?

I posted the following somewhere but I can’t find it. Just want to be sure I’m understanding the contest, so here’s my question again. I’ve done two panoramics at size 640×149 and 640×178. Are those the correct sizes? They are really tiny! By the way this is a great contest. Never done it before and am amazed at how well the “stitching” in photomerge works.

My “panoramic” is wide-angle (24-45mm) shots cropped 3:1.

Don’t know if these will be the final pics, but am I going down the right path?

I like bridges. In this case, they seem to lend themselves pretty readily to the “you are looking at something really wide” intent.

Figuring out how to post something that’s 640 pixels wide is going to tricky this week. The entry I stitched together is 10055 x 1086 so it doesn’t shrink so well. Since my gut feeling is that people vote based on the posted image and don’t often click through if you do link to a bigger version, I think it’s going to be a challenge.

But I did (finally) learn the basics of how to use layers in Gimp in the process. So no matter what the outcome, I’ve already gotten a lot out of this one.

I just re-read this thread and think I can find a couple more shots to include by cropping some photos. But I’m not 100% certain what the criteria are for that. I seems, from previous comments, that the width to height ratio is the key, but I’m not sure what value is the cutoff point. So before I edit things and get all attached to the crop I used(!) I thought I’d ask. Does it have to be 2:1, 3:1, something in between, or something even bigger?
