Panoramic 1

I have not done a lot of panoramic images but it is quite interesting and can be fun. This is my 3rd attempt at one and I was quite pleased with the results. This particular image is actually 5 different frames stitched together. My first attempt at a panoramic was 13 frames, I did this as a school project and it actually got me an A. It was by far the best subject I have made a panoramic image of. My 2nd attempt was 15-16 frames and it was the hardest I've ever tried. When I did the 13 frame stitch at school I had a lot of help, but when I tried the next one 2 years later I was all by myself and I was never happy with it. I got some new stitching software a while ago and I tried the 16 frames again and I had good success, needless to say I was pleased. The image that I have shown in this post is the smallest stitch I have made but it isn't easy with any stitch. Half of the work is done in camera and the other half is done in computer. If you make a mistake at either end the results are not good. If you mess up in camera you will likely not achieve success at all. I have wanted to do another panoramic image but I am not sure what I want to shoot, I guess I need to think about it a bit and come up with a good subject. Then I need to make myself go out and do it.
