cmb_ Posted July 18, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here is a first attempt at a macro panorama. I can see that I have a long way to go to develop this idea but I find it intriguing. Hopefully something good will come of it. Shot with the 100 macro + Elpro 1:2-1:1 + 2x APO. Three images stitched. [ATTACH]45991[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_drabek Posted July 18, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 18, 2007 This is a nice shot Charles. But I don't understand what is to be gained by stitching a macro panorama. With a landscape pano, you can get a wider angle of view than you can with a normal lens. But with a macro, you are dealing with tiny angles of view to begin with. How do the results differ from a simple crop of a normal macro image--other than making a larger file? DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 18, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2007 Charles - I agree with Dan on all points and also have the same question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmb_ Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted July 19, 2007 I have the same questions myself and I am not convinced it will work. What I am hoping to acheive is to can get a wider angle of view at higher magnification than I would with a crop. Landscape panoramas are almost immediately recognized as such. However, my image just looks like a crop. Like I said before, I think there is some potential here but I have a way to go. More work on this when I have time this weekend I hope.

dan_drabek Posted July 19, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 19, 2007 With a stitched landscape panorama, you can actually create a 360 degree panorama if you take enough shots and pan completely around. When you shoot your strawberry, however, once you pan a few degrees, the berry will no longer be in the field of view. Now maybe if you were creating a pano shot of a horizontal banana, you might be able to get some wide angle effect, but I think keeping the middle and both ends in focus on an object that close may prove difficult. Do keep experimenting though. It's an interesting idea and maybe we'll all learn something new. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted July 19, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 19, 2007 Interesting idea. I imagine one can get even narrower DOF than possible with cropping a regular macro shot. Are you using a focusing rail? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
