HI James looks like a good thread, I have not any pano attempts online and in reality only tried about 3 so far with mixed result.

Your image looks quite a styalised view to me, perhaps it is because I am not used to seeing those colour combinations in the countries where I normally move.

I am looking forward to finding the time to read your thread, I am sure there will be much inspiration in here for me :-)

Oh .. could share a simple letterbox crop ... its sort of pano shaped but not including much detail :-) below

Hi Mark,

Very cool image, thanks for contributing. I have been enjoying Dpreview for quite some time, but have not dropped into Samples and Galleries until recently. I started out lurking on the Fuji slr forum 2 years ago when I started to work with digital. This January I bought 2 D100's and began checking out the Nikon forum. But that forum has turned some what negative with it's constant stream of gear bashing. This forum is very refreshing, pictures, pictures, pictures. Very cool forum!!!
Cheers,

Jim

I think standing further back would make the effect less noticable.
Anyway, this is one of the reasons I take my panos with one
exposure and crop them...

Thanks for the tip. I dont understand the bit u said abt using one exposure. R u using film?

I like the last pic on ur eariler post. The separation of the land and sea is a straight line throughout... sometime i seldom manage to achieve.

Jim thats exactly why I am in here mainly as well ... the equipment forums are great for that .. and sadly for us there are lots of great photographers who seem to stay posting their pics only in each one of them .. if you are prepared to wade through the other types of posts to find them .. thats fine but I am not any longer ... On occasion I try to tempt one of two in here and get a slight slagged off for it :-) duck back water springs to mind

Hope you stick about in here .. I am sure everyone will make you most welcome.

No ... I'm using a D60 with a very wide lens; at least most of the time it's been wide enough to get everything I want ( or most of it ) in one exposure, without having to stitch anything. All the panos I posted were cropped from a single exposure. Which seems to be a pretty unpopular thing to do in digital...
 
Hi.

Here is another pano out of my ArtPan 6x24. A sunrise at Mt. Rainier, shot on Velvia with a Tiffen enhancing filter.



The amount of detail I can pull out of my Velvia slides continues to amaze me. I use a "cheap" Epson 2450 Photo scanner and this one was scanned with 1200 dpi, which is still only half (!) the native resolution of this scanner. It gave me a 25.3 megapixel file, 145 MB large, 48bit, Adobe RGB. Here is a 100% crop, converted to 24bit and sRGB:



I believe digital photography still has a ways to go before it can match this quality. Short of stitching together a bunch of 1Ds files, I can't see anything on the horizon to top this kind of resolution.

And yes, this little scanner can pull out even more information at 1600 or 2400 dpi (but the files become almost too big for my PC to handle). It represents an amazing value imho and has occasionally given me better results than professional drum scans (maybe some of the drum-scanners used by scan-studios are a bit dated). With the scan-software "Silver Fast" it would have been possible to reduce noise significantly by multi-pass scanning. I'm evaluating the trial version right now and it seems to be a good investment.

Your comments are welcome - as always.

Greetings
Stefan
