Panorama tools
« on: January 10, 2008, 06:26:08 PM »
I didn't know how easy it is to do panoramas in photoshop... But it is really easy. So I didn't take many while on vacation in Alaska.  Plus, my Lumix lacks a pano mode(!)... Had I only known how easy they are to do...... Definitely kicking myself.

This cool pano of 17 images led me to this free pano software (which I have yet to try)..

Yup, the technical part is pretty easy. 

The catch is that since you're dealing with such an extreme angle of view, the likelihood of all it "fitting" within the same exposure becomes smaller.  You could use high dynamic range (HDR) techniques, but that's a lot more work.  It an ever bigger challenge than "normal" photography.  I bet if you gave a novice an image-stabilized 400mm lens and let them loose, they would produce some cool images.  Give the same person a 12mm lens and they probably won't have as many hits. 

Alaska though... yeah, it sounds like you missed an amazing opportunity!   ;D
