Fewer and Fewer...
 |  |  |  | Some Bristol Panoramas.
< on 9/24/2008 7:54 PM >
|  | | | Might I trouble you guys for some opinions on these? They are on the large side, so I'll leave links to the pictures instead of images. Some of them are rough on the edges, mainly because I shot to few frames to complete the panorama's...and one was an experiment where I shot 3 pics with the camera in a vertical position, then combined them into a horizontal pano. Any comments and criticism will be greatly appreciated.
Okay this one needed a few more shots to complete, but I managed to get the entire building.

This one was the first collapse area I came upon. Originally I wasn't going to pano this, but I changed my mind. And yes, I know the left side is to high an ISO.

This is one from the back of the building. Again...too few pics to complete, but I still like how it looks.

And this was the experimental...3 shots in vertical position, then combined in photoshop into a horizontal shot. Might not qualify as a pano, but it was just an idea.

Thank you for your time and patience.

| | | | I only looked at the first one. I am going to be blunt because you are asking for critique. If that bothers anyone, do not read any further.
1. panoramas where people can't be bothered to make a clean crop afterwards drive me crazy. So, to me it looks sloppy.
2. there is some red fringing, for example, where the clouds meet the telephone pole.
3. you should try using lens distortion in photoshop as I am sure the building really doesn't lean like that.
Que pasa, baby? |

Why would this not qualify as pano?
btw: although i agree with argonian 1 & 3 i find the subjects in 1& 2 very nice, 3 is boring. 1 looks like a still from a game.

| | | | Just a few general comments. Rendering these with the horizons set would diminish some of the falling away, or in the case of the last one falling inward. But it appears your camera wasn't level, so even after rendering with the horizon set, you will still probably need some perspective correction. In regards to the last one. Do you mean you held your camera in portrait orientation? If so that is the preferred orientation, as you get a wider FOV with a level camera oriented that way. I agree with the others about not cropping, I think it looks sloppy. next time shoot more picture to fill in those corners, then crop that.

a)It wasn't that I couldn't be bothered to crop it, it was that I didn't have enough shots to complete the pic. If I cropped it, I would have cut off significant portions of the building.
b)Good eye Argo, I missed that. It wasn't in the origal though...it's probably a result of the pic being resized. The first pano is at %66 of the original.
c)I tried using the camera distortion tools, but then it pulled the rear of the building out of plumb.

From a video game huh, Resident Evil maybe?
Thanks for the kind words about #2...to tell you the truth I thought that was the weakest of the pano's. And the reason that I thought #4 wouldn't qualify as a pano is because though it is formed from three pictures, the camera was held vertically, then combined in a horizontal fashion to give adequate vertical coverage across the room. If Anything I thought it resembled a wide angle rather than a pano.

You hit it spot on Geo...my tripod was not level in either Pano 1 or 3. I even adjusted the legs to compensate, but it wasn't enough. Ironically, it was the perspective correction that pulled the images into alignment so that the panos could be made. If portrait orientation means holding the camera sideways, then yes...it was portrait oriented. And from now on, I will shoot more than enough pics to cover 3 full panos!
Thank you for your thoughts!
