A Panoramic
on: March 13, 2009, 23:20:40 PM


What do you guys and girls think?

I was thinking of cropping it on the left to make the Blue arch more symetrical.

Pretty good but...

Theres an area a bit further down the river IIRC where you can use zoom and get the whole of the footbridge in.

Thanks

I like to get different shots when I take photos of things like that, simply because theres a million and 1 different shots of the same thing. I just try and do some thing a little different.

What do you think about the cropping on the left?

Give it a go and let us judge which is better?

I think it looks ok as is. The only thing I think is I can see in the middle where you stitched the photos together? If you crop the left it might make this off centre, and more/less noticeable?

I had to colour match the colours in photoshop for each picture, then I had to join them up yeah... Ive got to practice at doing that I think the fact I need to do them as layers and select the part of the overlapping layer and delete it.

Pretty good Mr_Roll, apart from the join line, but nicely exposed and some nice colours.  If you get yourself a wideangle lens around 10mm you can just about get it all in so no need to try and stitch them together.  Tried with my Sigma 10-20mm when I took the pic below but buggered the focusing up, doh.

Went and did that earlier in the year, my result from it...

Its just next to the first flat you come across when you walk down from the bridge on the Newcastle side of the river.

Just out of interest what length exposures are these photos etc?

I quite liked mr rolls

I think his bigggest problem was the main focus being off centre compared to the bridge.
Go back & try again - this is somthing can also be easily fixed in photoshop (start by cutting the white building to the left o))




no offence russ, but I find your effort is to "busy"

Nah, prefer russes, but I guess its to do with it being a finished image, rather than a "does this look right?" image!

Can be several seconds depending on setup

Crop the centre out and it will be what you want.

if possible try for ƒ/8 or ƒ/11 as it will reduce focus probs due to depth of field, making stitching less problematic, but will increase exposure times.

Thats what I did, I walk across the millennium bridge every night, just took my camera and tripod to work and after wards spent an hour taking some photos.  Mainly used F/13 and about 15 seconds, but that was when it was quite dark at around 6 at night, might be worth heading back around 8 at night these days, unless of course you want some daylight pics that is ;)  Might take the camera to work tomorrow and go out at lunchtime, need to havent take many photos since Jan really, damn overcast dull days.

Overcast days can be good for HDR shots some times, it depends on what the clouds look like and if there are any shape to them that can be extracted with a HDR shot. Ive tried one or 2 HDR shots myself
