Challenge: Panorama
Nov 24, 2019 15:38:37 #
Put up your new panoramic pictures!
There are several older contests & info, but I am interested in new work as well as new techniques, etc.
These are 2 successful samples after several attempts. I am challenged with how much to overlap.

Colorado Mike,
I think the second is one of the best uses of panorama that I have seen. It's easy to use panorama to catch more than a normal lens will permit. But the subject here is best expressed in the panorama format. The background mountains provide the movement to set the scene while the spreading out of the bales describe its expanse. Kind of like when westerns went from normal screen proportions to Cinerama - the format fit the subject in a new way that improved both the image and experience of it.
Great example.

Here's a quick one of a rainbow I captured a few weeks ago. You don't often see one end to end, so the panorama was necessary to show the entire thing.

Here are two panoramas stitched together in PSCC. One is the plaza in front of the Queensborough Bridge, the second is the old Marine Terminal at LaGuardia Airport.

OK, Mike, here's some new ones -
Thanks Dan
The coal carrier was so long!
How much do you overlap for stitching?

Hi Stash - The Eisenhower Farm pic has great composition. How much do you overlap for the stitching?
Eisenhower's family from this area?
I have a pictorial of the ranch Ike visited on his many fishing trips to Colorado. Will post the pics & story soon. Stay tuned.

Wow - Great composition & balance in the Queensbury pano. Such intricacy in the buildings, tram lines, etc.
The question I am asking all participants... How much overlap do you use for the stitching?

I usually overlap at least half a frame per shot to make sure the software has enough info to stitch correctly.

here's the grand canyon...12 shots, hand held, in verticle format, stiched with PSE.
I overlap alot! maybe 1/3 image width. I don't know if that's a good or bad idea, but my thinking is give the software lots to work with and never risk a gap that way.

I also overlap about a third. By the way, if your camera can display a 3x3 grid in the viewfinder, that's a great aid to keeping the camera leveled during the shots.
