I would like to read about your thoughts about this pano:
Do you like it?
But what is more important to me, can you see how many pics I ve used to stitch this together? Cause it is the first time I ve tried this technique and personally I like the result after all but during the operation had serious doubts about my chances of succes.
Then any tips on how to stitch photos are welcome. Especially tips concerning the pre-stitching process. So what do i have to consider and think over twice before taking a series of pictures wich have to be stitched; ideal focal lenght, point of focus, diafragma, shutterspeed etc...
Thx

Hy Nivad, first of all welcome back :)
I like the pic very much, espetially I like the windy road that seems to follow the pic curving wright in the middle of the panorama. The colours and lighting is also great.
I Can distinguish three pictures in this panorama, mostly because I can see a slight light change at about one third and two thirds of the panorama. I think the main problem in stitching pictures toghether is the different lighting that results inevitably from one pic to one other. I have this problem too when I do panoramas, and I am sorry but don't have any real solution, so I would like to hear replies too.

I like the shot, but the right hand side is too white for me, I know it's a shame to do it on a nice panorama, but my suggestion would be to crop it at the last quarter on the right?
I'm no expert on panoramas, mainly because I suck at them, especially when it comes to photoshopping them, but apparently there is a panoramic head which helps. Also if you can avoid taking photos of the sun - it changes the photo's light levels, and it stands out when you put them together. I also find wind is a pain, and anything big and close in front of you.
Good luck!

I like your panoramic. The green colour is nice. The sky has nice clouds, which give a good intensity.
Maybe with more life, or a clear first level in the picture, it could be a better picture.
But the stitching is excellent, much better than what I usually do.
Here is another panoramic, quite different. I like its foggy mysterious atmosphere. It is the lake of Annecy, where I spend a lot of my holidays.

@Nivad: (like you I'm making a "pause" in woophy and I'm less active since 2 months but I still looking regulary at woophy :) ... maybe I'll re-start uploading this summer)
a precedent topic where I hope you can find some tips ;)
For your exemple I think the "bug" (the 2nd stich on the right between pic 2&3) came from the soft you use besause the lighting seems to be good in my opinion

Thx for your first reactions...
First of all I actually used 4 photos in pano, a great complement for me if you only see three pics in it :) However I had to us a rather small vertical fragment of a 4th pic otherwise there was a white space at 1/3 of the pano...
E'bridger I did quite some postproduction on the sky part of the picture and I know the right part is much too bright but I cant get it better then it is now, however I am afraid cutting that part away would do the picture no good.
And a clear front? personally I think the front gives the picture a lot of depth, doesn't it?
Nature thx a lot for your link to another topic concerning this theme. In the next weeks it will prove quite usefull...
Any other tips and advices are still most welcome ;)

Like your image but agree that you have to cut and trim parts sometimes due to poor lighting......or use Photoshop !
I use panoramic stitched images for building works in order to set the buildings or sites into context. This is the new National Conference Centre in Dublin that I am working on at present. (The gap in the centre of the image). This image was stitched from 3 images using standard Canon IXUS software.

This is another one looking north on Lake Garda taken in February 2007......I live in the foothills on the left hand side.
Most successful when the level of lighting is constant across the panoramic to be taken. This prevents whitening of parts of the images. You also need to ensure that your camera is horizontal as you take the images otherwise you end up with a curved image....does not look so good. Remember to adjust the final panoramic image to maintain a level horizon and not slopiing to the left or right.
Good look with your photography :-))

There is an excellent article on panoramic software in the Woophy's Photography Workshop Forum.
Article dated 21 February 2007 submitted by member "Nature".
Many pointers and example images from members.
