Hi!

This is a pano with 9 images done last Saturday morning in Paris, with M8 and 35mm/1.4 ASPH.

Marie-Helene, looks great. Is this hand held, I assume vertical orientation. How did you stop the people appearing in more than one frame? As Carsten said, you need a patient (= not moving) subject. What was the total timespan to take the 9 shots?

Hi Mark!

It took me actually less than a minute to take the 9 images (just went back to Bridge and checked). I remember the issue I had was to have the card write fast enough. It is handheld. For people moving, this is the trickiest part. I need to clean up the picture as I have twice the same person moving over two frames, or half a person... Might post another one if you're interested.

Hi Luigi!

I actually use Autopano Pro, which I find absolutely brillant, except for the lack of in-depth user manual... This is another 9 images pano, done also last Saturday (was such a beautiful weather last week), vertical and handheld as well.

This was shot last week in the California dessert. Six vertical shots with 24/2.8 on M8, stiched with CS3.

Wow ! Stitching is perfect. considering the complexity of palace structures... and surely is an uncommon perspective of the Louvre...

Three images - 40mm elmrit-C through an R72 filter. I use either Auto Pano Pro or PTGui - sometimes one works when the other doesn't - and crop to a 9x16 aspect ratio. File size is about 27m.

This thread has opened a whole new field of interest for me... the capabilty to obtain superdetailed pics with several shots is intriguing... I want to start to make something... my first trial has been finding 3 mountain shots, taken simply at hand... didn't think at a pano when shot...and used PS photomerge... not unsatisfied.

I'll try some other software... I'm very excited by this capability... thanks to all for haveing well explained the tecnique.

I used to do this sort of thing professionally from 1996-2006. From 1998 onwards I used a Leica 16mm Fisheye-Elmarit, first on a R6.2 and then on a Leica M4-P or M6TTL.

 

You can see plenty of commercial and editorial examples on my website at:

 

4020 Φ Fullscreen VRs

 

You need QuickTime to view them, and most also come with stereo sound. A lot of them feature up-close panoramas of people walking past the camera... something for pano-newbies to puzzle over :?)

 

I only ever shot film (digital can't really handle the extreme exposure ranges); 6 shots portrait, one up and one down. All were stitched by hand in Photoshop.

 

Demand for these things dried up in 2006, so I have since moved on to other things - PHP development in 2007 and next year, back to university...

You work was an inspiration to me when I stared doing this, Andrew. Thank you!

I shot this with my R-D1 and lux35. It comprised about 8 pictures in the end. I found with Autopano that it pays to be selective about the shots you include. Although I could have thrown in about double or treble the number of pictures by selectively taking out shots I actually ended up with a better result. Sometimes, less is more.

 

I also went over the shot at 100% in PS cloning areas which were obvious overlaps. One thing I did leave in the shot were a few ghost like figures on the bridge which were the result of merging shots where people are moving.

 

I've printed this shot at 36inches wide and I've been very happy with the results.

 

I've continued to make panoramas using Autopano and I have to say it is a great product.

Okay, I made one with 12 shots. How do you print a Photoshop file that's more than 10,000 pixels wide on an Epson 4800 with roll paper? I cannot figure it out.

 

I've never tried, but I suppose that there must be the way to manage such files on a professional printer like the 4800... I have seen printing shops that managed prints on large format printers of files (TIFF) more than 25000 pixel wide... Large printers usually have their own disk drive , and proper Software, to afford such tasks: I think that when I'll make some pano that deserves a well made big print, surely shall go to some shop like the one I mentioned.

Can't you just set up a Custom Paper size? This is what I have done when printing panoramas onto 2xA4 length sheets.

Andrew - I think anyone who has tried stitching scanned film images into a panorama should take a look at your Anzac marching panorama - it is a beguiling, technically impressive achievement.

I think I like this Autostitch thingy. I just downloaded it and gave it a whirl for the first time. Really it couldn't be easier to use.

 

I haven't experimented much with panoramas or stitching, but have used the Canon Photostitch program some and experimented with PTassembler and Photoshop for making panoramas or composites.

 

Right out of the box the freebie Autostich does a much nicer job than the Canon software on this 5 shot panorama of Guanajuato in Mexico. It blends the sky and deals with the lens vignetting of the Canon G1 Powershot so much better. Can't wait to play with it and the M8. My wife wants to reproduce architectural details of church interiors and this might be the way.

Autostitch

 

The labor intensity of stitching is what's always killed my enthusiasm in the past. I'm a lazy photographer and when I see the need to establish a thousand control points for assembling an image my ardor tends to abate.

Two pictures from China a couple years back. M6, Ektachrome, handheld, horizontal.

 

Farming village in the first one; two shots, not originally planned as panorama, manually assembled in Photoshop.

 

Buddhist monastery in the second one; five shots intended as panorama, handled by Photostitch.
