Vertical pano from the Empire State Building

[Ian]

As promised - 5 landscape frames stitched vertically in PS CS6:



Not sure why there is so much barrel distortion at the top but it's an interesting effect!

Very nicely done! The new World Trade Center really draws the eye.

Ian - your avatar looks like London City Hall. If I have my bearings right, there's a great Argentinian steak house just to the right rear of where you were standing. My daughter took us to dinner there one night.

I bet that the steak was great to your delight... Ijust got home after having one of those creatures...

Bet it would make an interesting print.
I rather like the barrel distortion

Surprising how some images are improved by barrel distortion, although when I first looked at the picture I thought it might be the curvature of the earth (I mean to say there is quite a distance in land mass in the shot), anyhow I like what I see.

Re: Vertical pano from the Empire State Building

really like this, but weird how the barrel distortion is there. with it being a composite and not exactly wide angle, i'd have thought there would be no BD. that said, i don't mind it as it looks like a crop from a single wide angle shot.
great job ian!

Re: Vertical pano from the Empire State Building

None of the donor shots are like that. I think it is a by-product of PS having to distort the scene to get the donor images to stitch thanks to the change in vertical perspective.
