| Fun with Panoramas | November 22, 2008 @ 9:25am | These first I call "Keystone Panoramas" - to make them, I first shot the subject straight on, hand-held with the camera level. Then I rotated the camera slightly to the left for the 2nd image; then slightly to the right for the 3rd image.
If I keep the bottom center point centered in all 3, then I get the outline of a sort of keyhole shape. If I put the center in the center of the subject, then I get a different shape.
PS CS3 has no problems stitching these 3 images, no matter where the center point is located. You can also paint the white backgrounds black or some other color, if you wish.

Metasequoia

This last is a pseudo-panorama. It's a composite of 1 original panorama, flipped horizontally and then the 2 were composited onto a blank of the proper size.

Let's see some experimentation with pano formats. Please post the results here? TIA

 Go ahead and play with the images. I would ask that when you post them on other sites (such as Flikr, Photobucket, etc.) that you credit my photography. I would do the same for you! Other than that, I'm E Z T D B W. |

| November 22, 2008 @ 12:26pm | You mention both Keystone and Keyhole. I would go with Keyhole. They look like they could have been taken through a keyhole. Keystone says "distortion" to me (when you tilt the camera and the top of a building is narrower than the bottom, etc.) and I don't see that happening here.
Very nice!

| November 22, 2008 @ 12:45pm | LOL, John - my only defense is that both words start with "key"

I wonder at the way you think of things. Becky |
