I'm not sure she's a nun, Tony. I think it might be the young woman's hairstyle or a hat brim...the dark shadow on the left of her face makes it appear like an extension of hair or hat (habit)
Pat, on further review, I think you are correct! 😃

May I ask how you "flattened" (removed the curvature) from your images?

I own a Canon iPF-8400 and a Canon PRO-1000 printer. Their are hundreds of prints on that pool table and I enjoy viewing them, they bring back memories of where I have been and done. I am an extreme hobbyist. I have only sold one print in the last 50 years and that was the 2017 solar eclipse of which you can see on the pool table. A veterinary hospital has a fund called "My only Hope Fund" which I gave the money to. No I was not born into money I was the oldest of 11 children, I guess my parents didn't know what caused kids. I started a manufacturing business at the age of 26 and sold it 15 years later and retired. And this was without a college degree but I did 4 years in an apprentice program to pay my way thru high school. If you like I could try and print something large for you.

They were done 'in camera'. As I 'panned' from left to right, the camera automatically stitched the images together. During a typical shot, it sounds like 15-20 images are being taken so each 'patch' would be rather small, hence the flattened appearance. I've always liked the results, particularly on broad landscapes. Also, at least with my current camera, the Sony a6500, it works with both my normal lens, the 18-135mm, and the 10-18mm wide-angle. My older cameras, the Sony A65 and the Sony a6000, it always had a problem with the wide-angle lens, but the Sony a6500 works like a dream. Now you still have to be able to pan smooth and level, and there's a speed which you have to be able to hold consistently, but over time, you learn what the camera expects (it informs you if you're NOT doing it right).

Thanks! I have the Canon R7 and for the in camera stitch, it will wrap somewhat ...I guess if I try to go too far but I have to say it does a great job too.
I have not tried to take discreet images yet and stitch them together. I do now have that capability with NEO and I guess I should try it. From previous experience I typically see some wrapping unless one takes images by physically moving horizontally as each image is taken which obviously could be difficult in some locations.

Adobe Lightroom's Panorama generator has a 'dewarpping' feature that works very well.

Thought you meant the band… But check out The Warning. Shockingly good musicians.

This was taken a couple of weeks ago at Bass Harbor Head Light Station in Bass Harbor Maine. I had a 24-70 Nikon lens and figured 24 was not widen enough for the picture. So took 2 pics and stitched them together in LR, cropped at 16:9 to fit computer monitor. I was lucky, this was about the only time that day we saw the sun. Prefect luck.

What a story, "grumpy"! The solar eclipse is a beautiful piece. Maybe you need an agent to market for you - however, that can then turn a hobby into "work" and the fun of it goes. You obviously enjoy and immerse yourself into your "extreme photography" hobby. How wonderful to have those memories right there where you can see them as often as you'd like. I'm sending a PM.
