3 photo merge - Canadian Tulip Festival

G9 + Olympus 12-40 2.8 Pro

Another tulip eye candy photo from this year's Tulip Festival. What's interesting about this photo is that I didn't use an ultra-wide angle lens, rather I hand held my camera in portrait mode (vs landscape mode) and took three consecutive photos from left to right while standing still. My thought at the time was to merge the three photos in Photoshop CS6 and see what the result would be. Well, I was quite pleased to see my aim was achieved with the panoramic result after merging and adjusting to taste. Panasonic G9 (m4/3 camera) and Olympus 12-40 2.8 Pro Lens. Processed in DXO and CS6 to taste.

You have some very serious ghosting in the foreground where the photos were merged. This is due to parallax errors induced by hand holding rather than rotating about the no-parallax point with a panoramic head. To fix that, you need to crop the bottom 2/3 of the tulip field.

Thanks John. I also did some cloning in a few bare spots of the tulips maybe that's what you are seeing, in any event thanks for the tip, I didn't even notice any ghosting.
