That’s 10, and enough for Part 1, I think.

Yeah, I know. I do my best to avoid that but am not always successful. If I like the general effect, I just ignore minor differences (such as a ghost or 2). These collections are not intended to necessarily be my "best", but an exposé of my better efforts. I am choosing them to hopefully pique the interest of the viewers.Nice. A bit of ghosting in a few, but otherwise, nice.

All my panoramae are taken hand-held, because I don't travel with a tripod. There will occasionally be some parallax in the near field (but I normally wouldn't choose one like that). Ghosting can also occur because something moved in the short interval between the individual photos--short of stupefying all the humans and animals in the scene, there isn't much I can do about that.
I'm glad you enjoyed them, even with a few flaws.
I have created a second set, Part 2, and it is in the "Panoramas" section (where I probably should have put this one).

David, I did enjoy them very much. It's just a personal interest considering a friend of mine and I wrote our own stitching software some 17 years ago. It was originally designed to stitch scanned negatives/color slides, as I used a 4x5 film camera much more than digital at the time.
The first tests were done with 35mm negatives but then transitioned to 4x5 format. That allowed for a good deal of shifting without induced optical aberrations. The biggest issue was pivoting a large camera around the nodal point of the lens to avoid a good deal of the inherent problems with just rotating the camera around a point, which, when handheld, can vary considerably.
The transition to using a bit more digital proved to be less intensive on the processor, though my systems have been upgraded a few times since. In designing the program ghosting, along with a few other issues were addressed and successfully incorporated.

Most of the panoramae I have posted were stitched with a product called Autostitch, which is very easy to use and typically produces a fine outcome. Recently I have begun also using the function provided by Lightroom. In comparison of the 2 products I have seen little benefit of one over the other. I have Autostitch on both my desktop and laptop (which goes with me on trips), but Lightroom is only on the desktop at home.
Did you and your friend ever attempt to market your product?
