Man, frickin’ five hour board meetings after work suck. Especially when you forget your laptop at home so you can’t post early during the blah-blah at the metting. Whah-whah. Boo-hoo.
This is a cool theme. My Peoria, Il shot is the third panoramic I have ever stitched. Personally, I’m pretty happy with it. I have been pleasantly surprised at at how relatively easy it is to get decent results. I agree with corsec67, I’d like to see this one again in a year or so. I can picture certain settings that a pano is the only way to capture the feeling. Man, I wish I had done some of this before I encountered the rainbow in my other post. As you can tell, it is simply a skinny crop of a wide angle shot (10mm with a 1.6X mag due to the DLSR sensor). I have some others that you’ll see sometime that I shot from on top of my Jeep Cherokee – so I could get over the damn 8 foot tall corn – that would have been really nice as a pano. I could barely get the scene in with the 10 mm. On the other hand, I was fighting time as the sun was setting and all of the delicious light was fading. I don’t know if I would have taken the time to set it up.
Anyway. Cool theme. Good ideas to try out for myself. Continued growth.
/Oh, by the way, during that 10 or 15 minutes I had to photograph that rainbow, my 20-month-old was in the back seat. I had taken her with me to get her out of my wife’s hair while I played photographer. I’m pretty sure she thought it was strange that Daddy was standing on top of the car. 🙂
