Another panorama Seward Alaska

[Stephen]

Rather strange light in this panorama, I suppose I was looking into the sun. The vista was spectacular though and I just had to grab a series of 4 shots and have only just got round to stitching them.

The photos were stitched in Panorama Factory, it really is a brilliant piece of software, it even seems to straighten your horizons for you It corrects for barrel distortion and exposure too, as well as cropping the final result.

There are now street signs for Tsunami Escape Route

Stephen you have excelled in this panorama. It has everything. Instead of just mountains, it has those, as well as bicycles in the foreground. I like the tree to support it, the curved patio the boathouse and station wagons. The scenery is just superb.

Panorama Factory was the first "Stitching" program I ever used and I agree it is good, although more recently I have used Photoshop.

Sometimes when I have been on holiday (I can particularly think of Cuba this year) when I didn't think there was anything there. However, when I start looking at my photos, I realised there was quite a lot of potential.

Have you printed any of these panoramas yet?

Thanks Audrey, no not printed one yet. Basically they are too long I need to buy a roll for my printer, which has the attachments and cutter for it. I've never actually used them.

I used to buy Epson Panorama Paper (there is a facility for printing on it in Preferences. ) However, I don't think they do it any more. I did get some from a company. It is OK, but not at good as the Epson, but if you want to print a pano - it does that.

The rolls, although initially expensive, perhaps are your best bet, because you have them for years. It is not every day you are wanting to print a pano! I suppose you could always have it printed professionally. Never checked the prices though.

Thanks for that Audrey, definately something to think about.

A beautiful mellow image, Strange light? not strange but dreamy, the soft mellow light produces a serene and peaceful mood. Superb.
