Photo taken on a walk in Gloucester Mass.
I would say you have a keeper lens.
Looks like you are catching on vey fast!
Can anyone suggest a commercial lab for printing panos?
Looking much more pleasing. Personally, I would still crop a little off the bottom. Just personal preference.
I like the scene, but think a little cropping would help. The thee sunflowers and sparrow are the most important elements in the picture. I would crop to remove the object to the right and crop down to remove some of the sky. Crop up slightly to remove some of the busy foreground. By the way I live in Maine along the southern coast and will never move.
I have always used lightroom for cataloguing. Thinking of changing to On 1 raw and doing every thing right there. Still will keep photoshop for the heavy stuff or maybe not.
I have played with the pre-release a bit and find it amazing. Using a filter stack you can go to any filter and use adjustments and see the total result through the entire stack. In earlier versions you had to shut down the previous filters then turn them back on to see the overall effect.These adjustments are on raw images and are nondestructive. In the raw converter you can setup presets with filters included to really save processing time. Example: Lets say you used a luminosity mask to process an image using a color filter. Set that as a preset and when you use it on a totally different photo it will apply that mask and filter, but the luminosity mask will be based on that photo. I am telling you this is going to be special.
