Sony owners don't like stitching. Panasonic's do.

The rainbows don't show up on my monitor. A hint of the upper one shows about 1/3 of the way down on the left side and the lower one can be seen in prints just above the splash pool. Shucks.

I wonder. if you took say 8 shots at full zoom stitched together in a square would that result in a higher detailed extra large picture?like for example with my 717 making an 40 mega pixel image from stiched together 5mp images ?

Well as many other I do love panoramas and also to make them myself. For a proof you may have a look to my recent collection of panos http://www.setius.de/misc/pano/thumb.html .

All shot with a V3 in the town where I live. Thus I cannot catch up with all the beautiful landscape, but this one is my favourite.

Cheers,
Frank

How could that be explained?

I can only explain why I didn't reply to your eariler query: I
didn't see it. Sorry.

neither did I .. but then, if it was posted 9 hours ago like dpreview flags, I was happily sleeping ... or do you think the planet is still flat and is consisting of just one continent ? I know some people still do !

I didn't even know that panasonic images can be stitched . Attached are two H1 panoramas, which I already posted before, stitched with Panorama Tools/PtGui.

This two-shot vertical pano of Martha and the girls on the Pacific
Crest Trail has Tunnel Falls on Eagle Ck, WA in the background. It
includes a double rainbow, if you look closely. Taken with DSC 707.

Lovely. Post it larger, please. This image deserves it.

I love panoramas, specially the much-larger-than-screen ones that have to be scrolled.

Certainly. Send me an e-mail and I'll send you a compressed 22MP image made up of four 6Mp photos. Once you see its beauty (and you can only see it in full), you will certainly want to do it yourself.

I can also explain how to set up and use the stitching programs.

Beautifull panoramas Frank, and just the way I like them: much-larger-than-screen, so that you have a lot to pan.

Congratulations.

Wow,

I wish all panoramas were posted as large as yours. It is lovely to watch them being panned. They almost take you there!

Thanks JJDiniz,

I am pleased to see that there are so many fellow pano stitchers. Creating and watching panos is so much fun and I certainly enjoyed all entries of this post.

Sure we like them! Unfortunately, the forum can be fickle sometimes...there are times when a particular subject dominates, or a few key players post and those posts drive others to the next page before it gets replies, or the timing differences between your time zone and that of the various international posters just didn't jive. Or maybe the subject line wasn't enough of a zinger to get the curiosity click to find out what was within. Noone can really know why some posts just don't get noticed, but it happens - nothing judgemental or personal!

Anyway, here are a few panos from me and my 717:

Interior of resort hotel:



EPCOT center, Disney World:



Boardwalk Resort:



My house and a weird sky:



Half Moon Cay, Bahamas:



St. Maarten, Caribbean Sea:

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the nice words.
Very interesting panos. I must make at least three questions:

Interior of resort hotel:

Question 1:

This resort hotel looks like a very exotic place. I would love to see a larger (3~4Mp?) copy of it, even if it had to be highly compressed. Could you re-post it? Or maybe e-mail me?

EPCOT center, Disney World:



Boardwalk Resort:



My house and a weird sky:

Question 2:

The sky must have been very weird indeed. How on earth did you get the roof to be brighter than the sky???

Question 3:

I noticed that you used flash on the 1st exposure, and I imagine that you used it on the others too. So how did you equalize BOTH the flash exposure AND the available light exposure throughout the pano shots? It should be quite difficult since the subject is somewhat farther away on the second (and third ?) photo than on the first (left) one.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas:



St. Maarten, Caribbean Sea:

Here are a couple of R1 Panos I shot at Yaqina Bay in Newport recently:

Images are part of a new portfolio I am currently setting up. I'm not sure if the above links will put you in mode to explore the site or not. If they do, frrl welcome to look around... many of the images are stitched from 717, 828, & now some R1 images.

ps feedback is OK, either on a per image basis from the site, by direct e-mail, or here on the forum.

Thanks,

Hi,

The subject I chose for this study was very plain, but it served the purpose.
Two techniques were used to make these slanted panoramas:

On the first panorama, both camera and tripod started (from the left) perfectly leveled. For the second and third exposures, the camera was rotated around the vertical axis, and was tilted down, but not sideways:



On the second panorama, the tripod central post AND the camera were tilted almost 30 degrees to the right. For the 2nd and 3rd exposures, the camera was rotated around the tilted axis, while being kept at 90 degrees to the tripod post, without any further tilting:



Total rotation was almost 90deg. The black border around the panoramas come from the original frame borders, distorted by the stitching process.
The camera was a Casio EX-P600 used at widest zoom 33mm.

Stitching was done with Hugin/PTStitcher/Autopano. I do not own a "panoramic tripod head" (I used a regular tripod) and so there are slight stitching errors as on the electricity wires, but notice the vertical lines: They are all perfectly parallel on both panos! To me, that is an incomprehensible miracle these programs are capable of achieving. Some other programs that I have tested cannot cope with that.
