Probably of more interest to carp fishers, but I know you guys like a panorama, so I thought I would put this one up.



That's the thumbnail at 800 pixels wide. The shot is made up of 6 frames, stitched together (750 high by 4312 pixels wide).

Here's the big one!

After opening, make sure you have it on 100% zoom. Use the scroll bar to pan across it...

What a cracking bit of work !!! Well done you

Beautiful Cap'n, looks a nice golf course in the background also

That's Prestonfield Golf Course. Never been near it. Suspect you would need a bank loan to play 18 holes there?

That's a cracker Col, really good.

May I ask what software you use to stitch the pics?

Hi Stuart/

Photoshop's "Photomerge", set to auto. It gives a good result most times. Main problem is keeping the thing you are panning on a level horizon. It usually keeps stepping down or up as you go across. The one here kept stepping down (going left to right), so you end up with a 'staircase' and have to twist it to make a rectangle - and then trim all the jaggy edges off with the crop tool. Prestonfield House in the top right corner gives the game away that it's all a bit skewed by the time it gets there.

The key really is to have everything in manual mode. Pick a focal point, pick an aperture, pick a shutter speed, (and if you are not shooting RAWs) pick a white balance, and leave nothing on the camera on 'auto'. That way, as Eric Morecambe said, you can't see the join

Oh, and keep to an overlap of about one third between each frame, so the software has plenty material to work with when it is stitching.

Col

Thank you for that Col.

As well as Photoshop's "Photomerge" I use AutoStitch.

AutoStitch

It says it is a demo, it isn't really I did this pano with it.
