Shroom View
Oct 6, 2013 14:13:45 #
Overcast and wet lately so the mushrooms have been popping up here and there. This outcrop was in the shade of tall pines.
Would have preferred to get lower to the ground and have a more upward angle but the terrain and my gear wouldn't cooperate.
90mm three frame horizontal stitch, with half a frame cropped.

I'm glad you posted this link. Great image! I would never have thought about doing something like this. Thanks for posting. Sorry I missed it earlier.

William: Question: Did you use a Panoramic Nodal Head, or did you take the three photos moving parallel to the mushroom? i.e. movement along the x-axis using a focusing rail?

Thank you naturepics and no worries on missing it. I'm glad to read I may have given you a concept to work with. I would be most interest in seeing what you produce.

Allen - I moved the lens parallel to the mushrooms using a tilt shift lens. Three total frames, one to the extreme left, one in the middle, and one to the extreme right. You don't need a tilt shift lens to do this, just use a focusing rail to move the camera along the x-axis.

That was my thinking-- but I'm not sure I have enough travel. Although I guess with true macro, I might. I was actually thinking of doing a horizontal view and shooting a three shot pano.

Got a nice one here.

Best I can figure, if you want a three frame horizontal axis-pan with 30% overlap you will need 56.6 mm of travel L16.5 - M23.6 - R16.5. I really look forward to seeing what you come up with. I think "macroscape" has the potential to produce unique and rewarding shots.

Is there an "ideal overlap"? Is there a point of too much overlap? I guess I'll find out....

It's going to depend on your lens' IQ at the edge of the frame. If you are using the 105, I suspect minimal overlap would be in the area of 10-to-15 percent. If you go that route, to be safe, I would do one in the 25 perecent range as well.

I'll be using my 105. Reason I asked is that I read somewhere that too much overlap may not be ideal.

Interesting, I have read that good overlap for Pano's is somewhere between 20 and 40%. I never really thought about overlapping too much. Perhaps something to do with pivoting. I'd have to think about it a while and do some research.
Won't matter, you are moving along an axis parallel to the subject and not pivoting around in an arc. Your biggest restriction (for stitching) is going to be the edge of your glass. Since it's a Macro lens that produces a flat image with little distortion at the edges I think 15% overlap will suffice but I'd do one at 25% as well.

If you need to bounce the proverbial idea ball off the wall let me know.

Hey William: I did a short test and posted them under "Panos for A-Pee-R"
Thanks.
