Let's see some panoramas with the M10

Recommended Posts

As soon as I scheduled my two covid shots last February, I booked a celebratory trip in May to San Francisco. Here are two panoramas I took, one with my M10-R and one with my M10-M. The actual full sized files are 25,200 x 4,800 and 54,000 x 3,600 pixels. I've also included a full resolution sliver from the Monochrom pan to show the actual resolution. I have been doing stitched panoramas for over a decade and continue to love the process and what I can create. Some subjects just seem to beg to be wider, or taller.

Great topic! I also experimented with 50mm Summilux and it works surprisingly well, even without tripod.

Which software do you use?

I use Image Composite Editor (ICE). It was developed by Microsoft but they stopped supporting it a while ago so the SW is a bit hard to find. I'm pretty sure at some point I will have to switch to something else that is supported. I'm not looking forward to the day. I did try Hugin at one point. It is opensource. But I found it to be extremely difficult to work with.

BTW, the B&W pan is made up of 43 handheld images taken with my Elmar 135mm f4 lens. I don't recall the aperture but the shutter speed was 1/500. I bought the lens used years ago for a couple hundred dollars. It has cosmetic issues; the fake leather is pealing off in places. But, clearly, the optics are still great. Here is Ken Rockwell's excellent review of the lens: https://www.kenrockwell.com/leica/135mm-f4.htm

That monochrom pano is a monster! I don't think my little MacMini would survive a job like that. Would probably keel over and die halfway through. Have you ever tried to print it?

Here's one of my more successful ones, taken with (I'll whisper it) a Nikon D810. It's the Arakawa riverside in east Tokyo, about a 5-min bike ride away for me.

My laptop would make a serious gamer envious. No, I haven't had it printed. My printer (DuraPlaq) can only print up to eight feet.The monochrome pan is designed for fifteen feet. So I would probably have it printed in three five foot sections. It would make for an interesting tryptich.

Some nice Panos, very impressive!  Sadly, I'm way too lazy to deal with making them with my M camera/post processing.  I just take them with my iPhone! ;)  

Heck, as I've said before, photo quality-wise my iPhone is a better camera than I am a photographer!
