Blue Basin Amphitheater in Oregon, USA (6 portrait shots stiched together), just with the mental green colour of the whole place would have shown up in pics (seems to be a big problem for everyone shooting it).

Some superb pano's in here recently.

Heres not one of them, though it is a good play with PT Gui. 7 * 3 shots, HDR, 50mm handheld, slightly stuffed up and honestly a poor framing of the path but the software done a damned good job.

Haven't been around for a while and looks like no one has posted a panorama for quite a time so here's one from yesterday's Foo Fighters gig at Milton Keynes Bowl..

Monaco, taken a couple of weeks ago. (Click through to the 8000px-wide original version and you can still see the F1 grandstands being dismantled.)

Snapped with the Ixus on a Stag Do in France last weekend...It was 7am after a long night (!!) and I forgot to consider the fact that the tops and bottoms of the images would be cropped when stitching the panorama... bugger!

Some from a recent trip.

First - a combination between portrait and landscape.

Original 7.7Mb

I like this one. It's going to be a bugger to frame though!

One from a few weeks ago.

Yes it is a number of shots stiched together forming an image larger than the field of view from one shot!

What sort of settings do you guys take the panoramas with? I would have thought a rather zoomed in image would ultimately result in the best quality panoramas?

Have you guys got those panorama head things for tripods to keep the lens in one place?

Hmm I would question that definition but nice work in any event. I had a couple of goes at stacking a while back but didn't get anything very satisfactory out of it.

I normally overlap about 30% and use a standard lens and yes I have a panohead (designed and made myself and in classified) oops no its not its on http://mudpool.co.uk/AuctionItem.aspx?ID=2143

Quite often I will take mutiple rows to give a deeper image

This one is 50 shots ( 5 rows of 10)

Zooming in gives a small field of view so you would need hundreds of shots to get a panorama, but the detail and pixel count would be high

Odd that you missed this then!

"Photo-finishers and manufacturers of Advanced Photo System (APS) cameras use the word "panoramic" to define any print format with a wide aspect ratio, not necessarily photos that encompass a large field of view. In fact, a typical APS camera in its panoramic mode, where its zoom lens is at its shortest focal length of around 24 mm, has a field of view of only 65°, which many photographers[who?] would only classify as wide angle, not panoramic.[citation needed]"

From the Wikipedia page you linked to.

Stacking software stacks, pano software stitches ie, one layers and meges images one on top of the other the pano lays images side by side and joins them together!
So you will not be able to create a pano from stacking software

Have you tried CombineZ ?

It produced this from 21

I thought Bob had created this using stacking software (as per comments on the macro thread) ?

Anyhoo - stitching images surely doesn't necessarily result in a 'panorama' per se does it ? According to the above you need a 'wide aspect ratio'.

Anyway I seem to be turning into one of these tts who argue on the internet so that's my final word on the subject
