Old Gray Panorama

Post by vertigo25 »

I made my first stitch-panorama today. It's a 180 degree view of Old Gray from the north gate about two hours before sunset.

I'm not all that pleased with the results, so if anyone else has done stitches before, I could use some advice.

I took some more photos while I was there. They're on my xanga, but in a much better format at my domain.

Comments, critiques welcome. I'm new to photography.
The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

Oh, that is lovely! I especially like the light quality in combination with the panoramic format. I used to snap a few off in that cemetary years ago. I did mostly b&w back then. I like your color shot very much, though. :D

The transitions between pictures are too apparent. On the high res version for print, it's even more obvious. I'd like for it to be much more seemless. I got some good advice on it, though, on another forum. I'm going to redo it soon.

The image seems to have lines of different tonal values between the images stiched together.

Probally your light meter reading each scene differently.

That's not so hard to fix in photoshop. If you have a copy you can adjust you contrast/color to get it all even.

Yup. Exact same advice I got on another board. I now know how to get the same meter for all the shots on my camera for future reference :)

Thanks

Gratsi, but really, it is just having wonderful subject matter to work with.

One of Knoxvile's only assets is that beautiful gated community on Broadway :)
