Lets see what you got stitched
this one is a 5 image stitch if memory serves
From my archives - 4 years ago
-
Very nice spot for a stitch! Lovely colors
-
My biggest stitching project is this, the last view of the Olympic Ski Jump Hill of Holmenkollen, Oslo, before it was razed in 2008 later to be replaced by a Danish(!) design.
Nikon D3, Voigtländer 125 mm f/2.5 APO-Lanthar, 140 single frames. The machine I ran the stitching on (a Mac) struggled for a while .... :D
Of course mainly a document of the former glory, nothing spectacular in vision terms, but historical memories need to be saved some way or other.
-
This is a 360 degrees fish-eye panorama stitched together by about a dozen photos :)
-
Another, the seaside front view of Oslo, capital of Norway. If you look closer in the background, on the hillside to the left, you'll detect the Ski Jump from the last post. This was taken the last summer of its presence, using a Nikon D3 and the AFS 200/2 Nikkor, 8 frames from a sailing vessel, so matching up the frames later was "complicated".
-
A view I believe is familiar to some of the NG members, though normally not seen in IR ...
(Reine in the Lofoten Archipelago, Norway: 8 frames with the 28 mm f/3.5 Nikkor K on a D200)
-
One of my first projects with the then new-fangled and exciting Nikon D1: Shooting the same subject every month at the same day for 12 months, from the exact same vantage point. I chose a nice free-standing ash tree in my neighbourhood and drove a peg in to the ground to mark the camera position.
The montage was used as a full front-back cover of a magazine plus a poster.
Nikon D1, AFS 28-70 mm f/2.8 Nikkor.
-
Another favourite location from the Hardanger Fjord of Western Norway. I have captured the scenery with everything from fisheyes to long telephoto lenses. (the 400 mm lens required nearly 100 frames on an FX camera, shorter lenses of course much less).
Here is a potpouri comprising stitched captures in visible, IR, and UV. The visible scene here is captured with Nikon D3S and the AFS 200/2, 24 frames), in IR ( D200 with 105 mm f/2.5 Nikkor, about 20 frames), and in UV (Panasonic GH-2, Coastal Optics 60 mm f/4, approx. 30 frames). NB: they are not not taken concurrently; this is a spot I have visited many times.
The mountains on the other side of the Fjord are outposts of the Folgefonna Glacier.
The visible scene is of course pure postcard and hangs in several Norwegian Embassies in a mural format.
-
I know that house!
And have documented it, just not stitched :)
-
A popular building indeed. I always wondered how you avoided drowning your camera that morning :D
-
These classic views of Tromsø are stitched from 7 photos. The first one is shot at midnight, but I also wanted the early morning light, so I spent the night in a tent on the mountain, and took the other one at 6 a.m.
-

i was much younger and more agile back then :)

Thank you Erik - that shot #1 - was taken from up top our famous Table Mountain.
great images people!! Bjørn J - love those 2 you posted!
-
Yes, very inspiring work. !

After seeing these I had to dig up my D1H and AI-S 35/2 and try some myself. This is a dam of a small local hydropower plant, and the dam is under repair. It is there not so much for the energy but as a means to prevent flooding downstream at springtime. Nine vertical shots.

BTW, how about an 'unstitched' image, is this in a wrong thread?

Not at all. You just lead on me ....

I have a phobia of stitching. Also, I very much like Reply #4 from Bjørn

Stuck in a hospital bed, hooked up to an IV, not much to do than document the dreary surroundings. A scene I'm unfortunately all too familiar with.

Here are some panos I did using the latest Photomerge in Adobe CC2015. 11-stitch, 9-stitch and 5-stitch respectively. The original frames were shot handheld.
-
Akira - I understand the new photomerge really has been improved a lot - do you find that to be true?
-
This is my modest and also most ambitious attempt, 3 rows x 3 and then x 5 for the HDR. Problem is that there are small glitches which are not apparent in this size. I should redo this, if photomerge has improved.

-
Akira - I understand the new photomerge really has been improved a lot - do you find that to be true?
Elsa, the photomerge I used for the first time was that in Photoshop Element 11 which I felt pretty handy. Then the one in CC2014 turned out to be a vast improvement over the PSE11 version in terms of the accuracy. I was also very impressed how Photomerge can stitch random patterns like the surface of the running rever and the clouds smoothly. The on in CC2015 is the further refinement albeit not dramatically improved. It stitches handheld images really well. I cannot find any glitch in the first and the third iamges.
That said, it is NOT totally glitch-free. Sometimes it fails to stitch the power lines commonly seen in my images smoothly. Nothing is perfect. In the second image, there ARE only very minor glitces shown below (100% crops).
Needless to say, the proper alignment of the leveling and the entrance pupil on a pano head helps.
-
I started Panography in 2005. Hundreds of huge panos. Most of them interiors but also nature.
The biggest file size is 11.4 Gigabyte for one 800 Megapixel stitch of a cloisters crypta. The
as soon as I am back to my big machine I will dig out some and show
-
Akira. I love the street bridge in the inner city industrial setting.
This is the kind of work I appreciate very much because the frame is worked through thoughtfully.
Sky panos often leave me unsatisfied. I see a technical deed but no picture.
I'd love to see more of these industrial biom insights ... :)
-
Frank, glad that some of my panos appealed to you. The street brige was shot from one of my favorite viewpoint in Akihabara, Tokyo. I stitched the cloud simply because I liked its shape and spreaded for about 90 degrees horizontally.
-
Peter Forsell: The dam is another wonderful example for a panorama telling us more about a scene than a single (wide angle) frame could. It is not always easy to decide whether a pano is a good solution. My idea is about immersion. If you feel it makes sense to suck the recipient into the scene and if the scene features structure through all of its depth to keep tension on a sustainable level, pano might be the solution
-
So here is my first in this thread. Created in October 2006 it received 98 of 100 points in the 100 points group:

Bjørn Rørslett:
1) Wonderful stitch and rewarding scene the "Olympic Ski Jump Hill of Holmenkollen". Also the topic of documenting buildings before they are torn down is something I consider a very important contribution of photopgraphy to our cultural fabric. Thank you!
2) "Reine in the Lofoten Archipelago" -- such a calm scene and the vantage point is just perfect to get a feel for the scene and immerse into the impressive landscape. Thank you.
-
Thanks Akira!
I love the images you guys are posting - and it inspires me to do more (and bigger) panoramas myself.
So much to do - so little time

Den Haag railwaystation, October 2012,
probably some 5 shots stitched with gigapano,
not without glitches.

That place looks familiar, Fons :)

I don’t stitch full panoramas… much. Here is a shot of a library I recently donated to the University of Illinois, which is the third largest library in the world. I donated this, and it will now be part of their permanent collection. As far as I know, it is the largest library of astrological materials that I am aware of. It took a large moving van to haul it away.
-
Cool shot, well done.
One question about the accompanying text, was it astrological or astronomical material?
-

Wishful thinking. It is astrological, not astronomical, although I have programmed all of the planets to within a fraction of a second, which is pure astronomy. Astrology is cultural astronomy.

you might restitch this with a slightly higher center point. Then all the verticals will be parallels...

To make my 1500th post here something special. One of my earliest panos, just after switching to digital:
(http://farm1.staticflickr.com/21/99989601_13c250ecf8_o.jpg)
A different harmony 2 April 2005
Technical: All the early panos I made with Panokardan, my own construction panohead for the D70 plus the 24/2.8D Nikkor. Typically I took between 140 and 170 single files and combined them after a preselection to one 200MP equirectangular. When there was movement in the picture, I called this "panotheatre", many people saw it and adapted this technique later, I took up to 550 pictures to selectively choose people and cars and bicycles and animals to include or exclude from the picture. It sometimes took 48 hours to process the file with "autostitch" this then experimental software that is now at the core of the best set of tools on the market called "Autopano" by KOLOR.FR a french company.
The following is an early stitch of Willem van den Hoed playing his piano in Delft in August 2005. The computer was not strong enough to render this immaculately at the time. I did it later, no body parts missing, but I still love what I could do at the time of sampling the picture:
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/21/32546540_46e7732551_o.jpg)
Funny thing is I now have a very fast computer, equipped with the best software. I have the best panohead in the world, a great camera (D600) and Lens (24/1.4G) to create immaculate 800MP shots, but I do not take many panos currently. It is a pity. I should. I should travel more, shoot more, work less, make more holidays. The third pano in the post is one of the few panos I took with the current setup. The Krypta in Maria Laach. 800MP 11.4GB 16 Bit TIFF...
-
I can't say that I am a fan of full panoramas, but I do like what I call partial-panoramas. Here is one with three panels, each stacked, taken with the D800E and the Nikon 24mm PC in shift-mode. Spring in the wetlands of Michigan.
-
Here is one of the Michigan woodlands in spring. This is the D810 with the Sigma ART 24mm, if I remember right. This photo taken using several panels, not stacked.
-
Michael: I love "spring in the wetlands of Michigan" because it springs to me just like the contact copy of a 8x10 negative. The resolving power of the overwhelmingly detailed shot creates the impression to look through a window into the real world. A very clean HighResolution window.
-
oh my you guys are good!
love the posted images!
-
Congratulations on your 1,500th post Frank.
And what an imaginative selection of images in it too.
So if anyone thought that stitching just meant big wide panos, this thread is an excellent nudge. Good idea Elsa
-
This thread badly needs an infrared pano, doesn't it?
So here it is...
27 shots, handheld, D80IR with 50mm lens.
-
I loved Akira's panoramas, especially the second and third.
I've got loads of panos...
The first two of my contributions, are from the place that Bjørn mentioned many people here are better used to in colours, with a six months difference...
I have a version of the summer pano that almost perfectly matches the winter scene, but without rainbow.
The last is from the Assiniboine area in BC, Canada.
I forgot how many shots, all were stiched with Hugin.
-
Olivier. Children playing in this aristocratic setting. Wonderful. IR adds very nicely to it
-
I loved Akira's panoramas, especially the second and third.
Simone, glad you like some. You captured beautiful lightings in the first two panos.
Olivier's IR pano is endearing!
-
wow - and the great images keep coming!
So glad I started this thread - I am inspired.
-
Woohoo, first pano from "the weekend". Freiburg itself, from the plateau at the castle.

Fairly obvious where it was taken from. From 2007, probably a trip to Japan since that's where most of my business travel was to that year. EXIF data says it was with my D200 and suggests a 24mm focal length for the constituent pictures with the 24-120 lens. I didn't use that lens much as I never really held it in the same affection as the 28-105mm even though it was technically better in many respects.
I can't remember exactly how many pictures it was stitched from, but I do remember the camera was in portrait format, so I am guessing about 5 frames. EXIF says f11 at 1/400th second and I habitually set the camera to manual for stitch shots like this. My workflow at the time would have been to pull the raw files into Lightroom, export them as 16bit TIFFs, open them in PS (probably CS3 at that point) and automerge them, and finally flatten and crop. I wasn't very careful about aspect ratio on the final image typically. I'm still not - I just get the maximum picture, then worry about it cropping it to something specific later if it becomes relevant.
I also remember the stitching as largely painless but I had to do a little footwork around some of the badging on the engine and there is still a mismatch artefact on the outboard engine, but you only see it if you look for it.
At the time I just enjoyed the slightly patriotic feeling I got from the Union Jack with its colours echoed by the view generally, but was disappointed by the very limited view from a single frame shot compared to the view I got when I put my face against the window, hence I had a go at a stitched shot.
Pretty successful given it was rather casually handheld from an aircraft seat, I think.
-
Beautiful shot Damian. Love the color contrast and framing!
Elsa - thanks for starting this great thread. So many wonderful photos and so much to learn (especially for someone like me who never sticked photos before)!

Something different..... Jungfrau, a stitch my wife took with a 1 megapixel videocam in 2003.

The following shots were stitched with Microsoft ICE.
I was very surprised how well the rough seas stiched in this 2 shot panorama near Nyksund in Vesterålen Northern Norway, from a unstable and drifting rubber boat; two horizontal frames with 105mm f.2.5:
(http://otoien.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p1509255475-6.jpg)
Two-frame stitch of Nyksund from the seaside:
(http://otoien.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p1509255503-6.jpg)
Two shot horizontal fisheye panorama of Nyksund. I found one smaller stitching error, but surprisingly good considering the edge compression of the 10.5mm fisheye:
(http://otoien.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p1509255527-6.jpg)
Another two shot fisheye stitch with less overlap of frames. There are a few duplicated subjects in the foreground near the breakwater on close inspection, and some air wires do not align.
(http://otoien.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p1509258965-6.jpg)
Finally a more technical 2x8 vertical frame stitch of an out of commission altitude chamber at our institute that has now been demolished. Light was low and space very tight as lot of stuff was stored in the room. For this historical shot I only had the on board flash of the D5100, which would cause a shade with the 12-24mm. Thus I opted to try a stitch with my 55mm f/3.5, being able to get even closer. There are a few obvious stitching errors, but considering the handheld situation with variable close range and far from perfect rotating point I was surprised that it went that well.
(http://otoien.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p1509267653.jpg)
A non-stiched comparison 10 sec. shot with the tripod mounted 12-24mm, cardboard boxes got in the way:

Very nice photos in this thread
Here is one from downtown Guadalajara Mexico
(https://armando-m.smugmug.com/Travel/Guadalajara-centro/i-kHsWg8f/0/X3/_DSC2191_stitch-X3.jpg)
Probably 8 images with the 24-85 zoom @ 24mm f/8
The stitching in PS CC refused to show the lower corner of the cathedral, I had to take a portion of the image that included it and paste it in, with the deformations and adjustments in brightness so it would blend in correctly
-
Still enjoying new additions, guys!
Øivind, your fisheye pano looks spectacular!
Armando, I'm speechless to know how you "completed" the cathedral pano!
-

Not enough pixels do that Frank, so left it as at it is, cool.

Armando. I adore the Architecture shot.
The scene looks so European ...

Thanks, it's a really impressive building. It's completely renovated.
This is a 3 stitch (again 18-35G @18mm) of only a part of the building.
The small light bulbs in the air are reflections of the lamps on bats. :)

A kinda 'weird' stitch of the entrance of a Art Nouveau Cafe in Tilburg. It's made of 20 photo's in close up with the Nikkor 35 F/1.4. at F/4. More or less a test to see it's results. Well, it's far from perfect as you can see ;)

Several horizontal frames at 35mm on 24x36; this was a brief but pleasant time after some old buldings had been torn down. You don't want to see what was built on this place.

It's city... in the spread-out Los Angeles style. An area consisting primarily of apartment buildings, which is what got built on the wonderful open lots with their giant views of the sky. This shot from today, same lens, same spot. Stitching artifacts at no extra charge:

why can my Iphone do an IN camera pano and my $5000 SLR can't......
-
You spent too much. My D800 can't, but my US$700 Fujifilm can. Go figure....
-
so can my Fuji (X-T1), but only in horizontal mode, what a pity!
I really prefer to hold the camera vertical for panoramic shots.
-
why can my Iphone do an IN camera pano and my $5000 SLR can't......
Yes, good question.
So to achieve that we need an $x,000 camera and $yyy worth of software?
Ok, yes it does give us more control & more choice, but there's a huge gap between the moderately priced smartphone and the high tech alternatives
-
i've shot panos with my phone or a P&S. And while it's nice as a gimmick and sometimes the results are quite surprising, they can't compete with the real deal, a carefully composed and composited pano. I'm not saying i'm good at it, but try shooting something like this with your phone (viewing on the web will not prove my point, i know).

I completely agree.
Pano mode in phones and P&S can be fun but - my personal experience - looking closely the results are always quite imperfect.

Sevilla by the river at night. It is very difficult for me to make panoramas. I haven´t find the right way yet. This one, even with all the mistakes, is of of the most successful yet.

Still not totally getting it. But, do you mean no comments on your photo? Or the fact that it's Escher-esque with the two mills virtually connected via one whip?

I thought it's same one wind-mill shot twice and then stitched.

I agree with Anirban, and I am adding that it's not perfect, you can see irregularities with the stitching in the trees and on the mill.

Really?
At least my X100S offers horizontal and vertical panos (and it is an older cam than yours).
Actually you have to choose the pano mode before starting the recording.

Time to bump the thread.
Panos are typically associated with landscapes. If not, then buildings. This time a plant with some flowers, 49 images 12 Mpix, the full size image is 21467x14627. Why? ... Because i can ;D ;D ;D

Fons, the vertical landscape is amazing!
Hans, this is insane! :D Did you just stitched the 49 images withoutt stacking any?

Thanks for commenting.

Yes there is... but there is something wrong in so many images here in this thread that a wind mill wing disintegrating into it's singular twin doesn't raise an eyebrow...

An experimental 6x2 stitch, hand-leld. Due to the imperfect hand-holding technique, I wasted large portions of the original stitched image when I made this rectangular image. So, it is virtually 5x2 or so. Also, there are many minor glitches which can be seen when viewed in the original size.

Akira - I really like this last one - as you say = some imperfections but a worth while image in many other ways. What draws me is something surreal perhaps?

Elsa, thanks for kind words. Yes, I did feel the scene somewhat surreal, which made me want to do pano here.

Traveling fairly light with D3200 and maximum width of 18mm., I've done a bunch of stitching for scenic shots.
Here's the widest I've ever tried, with original width about 44K pixels. The resulting post is of course pretty fuzzy, but in the original you could rad the name on the stern of the blue freighter in the harbor. This is Ushuwaia, Argentina.

One of the nicest things for stitching is a shifting lens, which can make a very rectilinear wide angle view. Here's one done with the 85/2.8 tilt shift lens, on a DX format. Unlike the old shifting lenses this one goes to both sides without flipping over, so it's easy to keep straight on a tripod. With three shots including one in the middle, you get a nice double width. Except for the little glitch on the top edge, the uncropped result is nearly rectangular. My old 35/2.8 makes a nice stitch with equivalent width of about 16 mm. from shifting alone, but requires that the lens be rotated, which can jiggle the tripod.
I'm tempted to get the newer 24 mm shifting lens, but something about the price gives me pause.
-
Matthew - clearly thats the way to go if one looks at your results. Good image.
But then I look at the iphone pano and want to scream with frustration that nikon cant do that.

I believe the D3300 does have a panorama mode. I don't know how well it works, but it sounds from what I've read that it still has some problems. I have a little Fuji XP-60 pocket camera that does panoramas, and the results are not bad, but it requires a pretty steady hand. There's a menu choice of width, and if you don't get a pretty fair percentage, it stops with no image.
-
A stitch is not always a panorama ;)
9 photostitch
-
John, this is intriguing! Is the bokeh background also stitched?!
-
Thanks Akira. Yes. I took the main subject as Photo 1 and the other 8 are the 'surroundings'. It's called the 'Brenizer Method' and creates an extra shallow of depth.
In fact it gives the 85mm f/1.4 lens (which I used here) a kind of 45mm f/0.8 lens. According to a calculation on this site. http://brettmaxwellphoto.com/Brenizer-Method-Calculation/ (http://brettmaxwellphoto.com/Brenizer-Method-Calculation/)
-
Thanks, John, for the link of the method that is totally new to me.
-
John, that is a rather revolutionary concept :)
Although, if I have to nit pick, the background is not as creamy as it should be with the 85/1.4 :)
-
Yes, true. That is due to the larger distance. A disadvantage of the method. ;) I should have moved closer (which was here impossible due to a number of obstacles). There is always room for improvement.
-
It is yet another interesting way to deal with stitching technique
My current favourite is still the multi focus:
You create a set of extremly shallow DOF shots and bring two
different levels to focus/interest, leaving the space inbetween
blurred. I first saw that 12 years ago done by Willem van den
Hoed which got me investigating further into that. You can stitch
these by hand or use some advanced features of specialized
software like Kolor Autopano.

-
My modest contribution from Cres :)
360º pano made with 8/3.5 fish-eye.
-
I tried a quick and dirty "Brenizer" shot. Freehand, I missed some spots at the lower edge and had to crop it more off the bottom than I'd like. This is a 200-500 at 200 and F 6.3, so not pushing the envelope, but the idea definitely has potential.
-
Cool pano's Jakov.
Nice results Matthew. One of the rules is to use a lens wide open, I believe, so you can maximize the bokeh. That has the advantage the subject can be separated to the maximum from the surrounding field. It does however cause the need to take extra shots around the subject. Stitching programs may have a difficulty finding the connection to the bokeh-only frames. That will take some trial and error.

This one is stiched by several exposures with 16mm/3.5 fisheye.

Theater Pano, during notes just after a general rehearsal. Teatro Campoamor, Oviedo, Spain
Stitched and processed with LR

Yesterday I found myself in an alien world - in every sense - as the photographer at the wedding of a friend at the ancient church at the Old Town, Fredrikstad, Norway. In this task, I was of course way off my league, but found consolation there were two other photographers present to cover for my mishaps. The weapon of choice was D500 with the 24-70/2.8 Nikkor.
The image below is an 11-frame stitch done hand-held, at the slowest speed I dared to use (1/50 sec). Interestingly, the stitching itself was almost perfect (PTGui to the rescue), however, the poorly positioned incandescent lights cycled at 50Hz and I caught various parts of these cycles leading to some colour abnormalities (banding) seen on the background structures. I decided to let these be a part of the whole experience.
ISO 5000 and I deliberately sought a faded colour rendition worthy of the location by using b/w luminosity blending over the base image. Perhaps this ancient trick will get its own name too?
-
That is truly a very marvelous and unique wedding image! I did notice the slight shift in the BG but definitely not something that brings the image down.
Would love to see some of the other images ;)
-
Most of the captures were single-frame, Erik, thus don't belong here in this thread.
To be frank, I was surprised the stitching went this well. Probably because I rested the camera on a bench post and rotated it as gently as possible around a centre point. Only the best man (right hand side) moved a little, and the slight misregistration caused by this could have been avoided by dropping one of the 11 frames without losing much coverage. I ended up with 1.2 GB anyway due to the b/w Silver Effex layer on top.
As an extra bonus, my girl friend was included (lower right corner).
-
It's an impressive unusual stitch, I like it.

I may have missed it earlier in this thread, but would anyone care to share some of the points that turn a good stitched set of images into a great one?

For example, what are the upsides and downsides of doing/not doing this?
And does it depend on the focal length used, software & any included optimisation etc?

I may have missed it earlier in this thread, but would anyone care to share some of the points that turn a good stitched set of images into a great one?
For example, what are the upsides and downsides of doing/not doing this? [rotating around the entrance pupil]
And does it depend on the focal length used, software & any included optimisation etc?
First and foremost, successful stitching depends on components of the scene being static and how much geometric error the images contribute, and worst of these are parallax errors when part(s) of the overall scene is close to the camera. in the latter case, rotating around the entrance pupil position is highly recommended.
Do note here I only talk about the technical outcome of the stitching process. Whether the final result works as a successful photograph has little to do with the underlying technique and stitching is no exception.
-
Colin, I have nothing to add to what Bjørn says.
I tend to avoid closer objects in my panos. Fortunately most of my cityscapes (whether they are successful photographs :P ) have been shot from the sixth floor of the emergency stairs, and I try to hold the camera as horizontally as possible not only sideways but also along the optical axis. As a result, the closest object in my final stitched images will be at least tens of meters away, which helps me avoid parallax.
-
Great overview Keith.
Unusual overview Les. Large scans? It's a bit contrasty I think.
The scans are not very large - each 35mm frame is about 4MB. The sun was high and the light was harsh and there was quite a lot of haze, so it was always going to be contrasty - but I did use the clarity and contrast (and sharpening) sliders with a heavy hand. I am experimenting with ways of representing photographically how natural beauty relates to its political and social context.
-
Thanks for the explanation Les. That's an interesting topic.

Thank you very much Akira. Whether or not Rotterdam could be called an old city, depends on the frame of reference. There is much new(ish) architecture in Rotterdam because of the fact that it was bombed heavily in the WWII, hardly anything of the inner city was still in tact after that war.
Glad you liked the pano.
-
Hans, thanks for the info on Rotterdam. My comment was based on the impression of the pano of the city: the placements of the building and rich foliage carries some atmosphere of a historical city. Even the "old" city was destroyed unfortunately, the way they rebuilt the "new" city should also be based on their traditional sensitivities.
My only real experience of Rotterdam was when I viewed the city at night from the plane preparing for landing on Brussels in 1982. The lightings of the city looked so beautiful.

When I use the 17-35/2.8 for pano's, in many cases the of 20-28 mm range is the preferred focal length. Subjects are usually city-pano's which may explain that choice.

John, thanks for the additional info. My reason for having avoided wideangles is that I feared if the exaggerated perspective may lead to the stitching error of Photomerge. I realize that Photomerge has been improved since the earlier CC2015, so it would be able to handle the wideangle images more efficiently.
-
Yes, it has been improved. However below 20mm it is still critical, unless you want the effect.

Fyrstebreen, Andrebreen og Tredjebreen (https://flic.kr/p/U6g5mu) by Asle Feten (https://www.flickr.com/photos/afoton/), on Flickr
From The Norwegian Pilot Guide volume 7 (http://www.kartverket.no/en/Maps--Nautical-Charts/Nautical-Publications/The-Norwegian-Pilot-Guide/The-Norwegian-Pilot-Guide-7/) :
"Further north towards Magdalenefjorden the coastal stretch
is distinguished by «dei Sju isfjella» (In olden days glaciers were
known as icebergs). The First and Third glaciers end on the
land but the other fi e run out to the sea. The glacier tongues
push down between the mountain ridges from the glacier lands-
cape within, making up a beautiful panorama."

Thanks, Hugh!
At first, I took a single frame covering only the centeral area of this pano posted here:
http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,2816.255.html
Then I tried to make a pano for wider coverage of this impressive cloud, despite of my past experience of Photomerge failing to stitch the flare correctly. The result was way more pleasing than I had expected. :)

June 04, Morning. D750, AF-S 50/1.8G. 10 vertical images are stitched for 180+ degree coverage.
I accidentally switched the camera to suto ISO mode, and shot the frames with the fixed shutter speed and aperture. The ISO values ranged from 180 to 220 throughout the frames. I think I was helped by the rather even brightness and the wide dynamic range of D750. 8)

Good one, Akira. Here's one with 5 horizontally oriented 50mm shots, shot using tripod. The location is a crossroads in the lonely desert 'town' of Niland, California, which sits near the Salton Sea:

Thanks, Keith. The perspective of your pano looks very natural. I like the overall atmosphere.

Paco, you are too kind. I was lucky because the lighting was very even, and my iPhone SE exposed the three frames so evenly that Photomerge of CC2017 could stitch them very naturally.
That said, the stitched image was pretty much squeezed sideways due to the perspective distortion caused by the roughly 30mm-equivalent lens of iPhone SE directed upwards. I had to use "Transform" tool in ACR to reshape the rainbow to the correct half circle.
Armando, Thanks!

Akira, that is an amazing rainbow, perfectly positioned.

Anthony, thanks! Luckily the stitched and corrected image had still enough space to trim the image to my liking. :)

What an impressive array of stitched photos, well done to all. Good to see such a variety of styles and subjects.
I remember being fascinated by David Hockney's Pearlblossom Highway after seeing it in an article in a photo magazine in the late ’80’s. His deceptively simple technique has eluded me so far but hope springs eternal. And digital makes it a lot easier than laying out a bunch of prints.

Sometimes I stitch photos together to generate a typical panorama. Other times I use the technique with a longer lens to get a wide angle of view but still maintain a shallow depth of focus.
Here are three of mine, a 3-shot horizontal w/FM2n + 24-50 AF-D(?), 3 HDR horizontal w/D200 + 20-35 AF-D, 5 shot vertical w/Df + 85/1.4 AF-D

Fantastic result of that bridge, Paco.
The lines are great Armando ! What lens did you use? A pre-Ai 35/1.8?
Beautiful Lorne ! Love the setting and the light of the second one especially !

A lot of very nice work on this thread (Simone - those two images are a triumph - they make England look almost interesting ;) ;)
This is a pano of the Upper Everest Basin, shot from the south ridge of Pumo Ri in October 1979). The camera position was on the rocky area left of centre, at a little over 5300m (17,500 feet) and three images shot on 5x4" (12x9cm) Fuji Provia colour film were stitched. The panorama shows:
Left, above a glacier tongue, the peaks of the Changri La area; the bare south ridge of Pumo Ri:above two more glacier tongues, the summit of Lingtren; Point 6640; Changtse ("North Peak"); Everest, with the snow-plume; the South Col, and Nuptse ("West Peak"). Lhotse, the east peak of the Everest group, is hidden behind Nuptse. The Everest summit is six miles (10km) distant and 10,000 feet (3000m) above the camera position.

I am humbled...
We hear this phrase misused so often when some actor or another picks up an Oscar. What they actually mean is "I am SOOOOO gloating now..."
Whereas I, Simone Tomasi, am humbled. And England too is humbled.
I am afraid the comparison with the pano from Nepal is merciless, I would say unfair.
-
Simone, it should be really difficult fully to appreciate such a wide and potentially excellent pano on the (possibly any) computer screens: it would be too small vertically!
Dave, did you intend or were you able to stitch the 4x5 images by when you shot them originally?

Dave, did you intend or were you able to stitch the 4x5 images by when you shot them originally?
Agreed. One image is approximately 5800x24000, the other 5800x39000.
Made to be printed big, but I don't think I'll actually print them.

That wasn't my intention! But all hills and mountains bow down before the Himalayas.
Dave, did you intend or were you able to stitch the 4x5 images by when you shot them originally?
In 1979, stitched panoramas were hardly dreamed of; as far from most photographers' possibilities as interplanetary travel. There were a few famous examples,usually as part of advertising for camera equipment or film. Up until 1979 I had only ever made one joined-up panorama - three b/w images of Glencoe shot (Hasselblad)with a medium-long lens to eliminate edge distortion as far as possible; three large prints made, edge-trimmed to get the best match, mounted edge to edge on large board, the joins then disguised by a very skilful retouching artist and the whole thing re-photographed on 10x8" Fuji Provia and a final print made using the Cibachrome process. The whole thing cost the client a minor fortune and I didn't make another joined-up pano until I started using Photoshop in the mid-1990s. Compare that to what we do today.
-
That wasn't my intention! But all hills and mountains bow down before the Himalayas.
No worries, being humbled is healthy and instructive.

One of my first vertical stitch using the image files from GH5.

I have always have a claustrophobic feeling when I'm viewing very stretched panoramic views (I guess, my "letterbox" syndrom). For me, a second layer (at least) of vertical stitches is desirable.

Christian, I understand and share your feelings. I think a panoramic image is intended for a very large print, and even the largest computer screen available is not large enough to suit its original need.
My latest pano was stitched from five vertical frames to make the result as tall as possible. I know it is not enough for the PC screens.
-

I don't believe that the number of layers/rows, or indeed the number of photos used is important. You could just crop any single image as a very wide pano. What matters is the aspect ratio of the final result, usually less than 2.75:1. But it depends on the subject, the physical size, and distance from the viewer.
But definitely, an overly wide pano suffers when viewed on a smallish computer screen.

Every once in a while I peruse the Project Apollo Flickr feed looking for panorama possibilities. On the moon during Apollo 17, 70mm Hasselblad cameras were fixed to the astronaut's suits. Amazing as they can be, I think they look better when stitched together as panoramas. The scans are high resolution jpegs but of uneven brightness, even for nearly identical shots. I didn't have much luck stitching with Autopano 4.2 os PS CS5 and resorted to blending them by hand in CS5. Btw, the file names refer to the magazine number scheme used at Flickr.
-
Lorne, Your stitches give a better sense of what the moon looked like than I have seen in 25 years of seeing the NASA single 70mm frames. Bravo.
-
NASA's images from the two Martian Rover landings were mostly multi-row/multi-column digital image stitches as the cameras native sensor sizes are only around 1 mega pixel (MPx). Whilst a 1 MPx digital camera might seem very small for a Mars probe, the time between when technology choices were made and locked in and when the probes were finally launched was several years. Many of these images involved stiching several hundred 1 MPx images.
Lorne, it is really nice to see the 70mm film based moon shots and the stiching that is shown here - thank you for these. Without knowing what film was used by the astronauts, I am guessing that each individual film image must be at least the equivalent of 30 to 40 plus Mpx.

How appropriate! It's surprising to know that the giraffe stood still long enough to collect the necessary frames. Well done!

This is a 6-stitch pano. The frames were taken with iPhone SE, the original DNG files were shot and converted to JPEG in Lr app. The frames were stitched in Photomerge, and the TIFF file of the pano was adjusted in Camera Raw filter.
The third frame from the left was blurred, but the pano looks good enough for sharing it in Facebook.

Here is one from 12 years ago of Victoria's inner harbour. I'd only had my D200 for a few months and, having no means to edit raw I shot only jpegs back then. It is almost a 180° pano, 16 verticals with 50mm/1.8 AIS.
Eagle eyes will spy the Empress Hotel on the far right. It is still with us but Undersea Gardens are just a memory.

Thank you, Akira, but all my panos have flaws when you look close enough ;)
Yes, it's new today and is a favourite pano that I revisit from time to time. I was tidying up some of the rough edges - blotchy skies and zig-zag'd top and bottom edges. Autopano 4.2 is my favourite tool.
In 2007 I used Serif, and since then I've used Canon Photostitch, and Photoshop Elements 6, and PS CS5.

Thank you, Lorne, for the details.
When I was using the pano function of PSE, there were still some glitches, but the Photomerge of today's CC2018 does an admirable job.

Paco, Awesome pano , are you inside Gibraltar or still on Spain ?
-
Spain. Gibraltar is the vertical rock on the left of the image. I’m on top of Sierra Carbonera, 300 mts over sea level unside La Linea’s land.
-
I have downloaded the image and am viewing large with Weather Report's "Gibraltar" as BGM. How nice!

It makes me happy Akira.
Armando, the location is 36°11'37.7"N 5°21'42.7"W If you open the satellite view in google maps you will see a WWII bunker. The tripod and I were on top of it looking south ;)

This is amazing, Armando! Did you use a tripod? actually, I don't think you are allowed to do that in this room with the carpet. But you would have to rotate the camera precisely around the entrance pupil to stitch the frames in this situation, unlike the landscapes of distant scenes.
-
Thanks Akira, I shot handheld, overlapping about 50% of the frame
and you are right a tripod will not be allowed
the floor is tiles, but it is showing it's age
I used PS photomerge to create the pano , I have not noticed stitching errors, one thing I hate is the deformed resulting image, requiring the use of the adaptative wide angle filter to fix the deformed lines
-
Thank you, Armando, for the details. I'm fondly using Photomerge and know that it has been improved. But I haven't imagined it is that good!
-
Very nice work, lighting and sharpness look great. It seems to have rendered in a cylindrical projection. Was there no option of a 'straight line' projection in the stitching software?

Thanks for the comments
I'll have to check the options in photomerge, I usually click on Auto, I do not know if it is easy to modify the projection as it is in other stitching software, the lines were awfully curved, the adaptative wide angle filter helped, but there continues to be some deformation
-
Great work, Armando.
The remains of a former Febo restaurant, after a fire a year ago. One day they will rebuilt it.
With a 20mm lens (the f/4.0 Ai) there is always some distortion with stitching) - a stitch of 8. (Shot through a small (and bit movable) opening in a wooden fence.)
-
Looks like an image shot with a stereographic fisheye. Nice!

Just found "Geometric Distortion Correction" check box at the bottom of the window of Photomerge. I will try it when needed.
For the horizontal landscape stitches, I usually use "Cylindrical", which often works better than "Auto".

A different perspective of a familiar scene... Seven vertical frames. (Cylindrical stitch in Photomerge).

Thanks Akira. When using auto, you sometimes are more 'lucky' than other settings, is my experience, especially with the wider lenses.
-

Composition feels balanced, pleasant color choice in the petrol station lighting, which can so often render as ghastly. A nice 'island of light' feeling.

Thank you, Keith, for kind words. For the pano, I assign an "all auto off" setting to one of the user settings on my D750. The WB is set to "Daylight" with the hope that it would render colors as if I'm shooting with a daylight film. It seems to have worked nicely here. Personally I don't dislike the green hue caused by the mercury vapor light, though.

At some point I did not notice, perhaps the last update, I find Microsoft's ICE now accepts NEF files and no longer requires JPG.
May not be up to the most demanding pixel peeping, but it works pretty nicely for tourists traveling light.
For some reason an internal server error prevents showing even a very downsized image. Will try again later. (Worked on modify with a new file name. This is the "Tiger's Nest" in Bhutan in difficult morning light.

Ciao Massimo, we say "amapola" in spanish.
yeah, I read the photo's title and was almost certain. Very different in many languages: for example, in italian it's "papàvero" (I put the accent to ease the pronunciation, it's not present in dictionaries)
To stay on topic, a few years ago I was fooling around with a 300mm taking pictures of one of the most famous mountains in the world (Matterhorn, border Italy/Switzerlamd), and I took a series of pictures of the Hörnli ridge. Years later, reviewing my photo database, I realised there was a pano available, so this pano/tile was made... The stitching was easy, 300mm has practically no distortion. The original is 90 Mpix, of which 75% are black ;D so the useful pixels are about 25M

Here are a couple stitched photos from my D200 a few years ago. These are not panoramas, but to get the look I wanted a stitch was the logical technique. The Empress was made from 9 shots and the gazebo from 12. The exif shows 20mm but I believe I used my 50mm/1.4 Ais and simply forgot to update the non-cpu data.

Happy you like it! It is sometimes nice not to have a square border...
Quite recently, I was struggling to make a pano of a roof (the underlying woodwork) where there was not much room to spare, and I came out with this one (7-photo stitch):
I wasn't having a circular fisheye at the time (now I have 2), it would have been interesting to see the woodwork from a fish perspective...

Glad you like it Carl, I have many photos and panos of vineyards, as a wine lover I systematically visit those interesting territories...
Here's a couple, the first one one is a summer photo in the Burgundy area near Beaune, ant the second one (period correct) is from my area (Bologna), the Visconti di Modrone vineyards.
In the Burgundy photo you can appreciate the presence of the small buildings inside the vineyards, they are called bastidons, and they serve as repositories for tools, and usually there is a bed for a quick rest after lunch (saves time to the vigneron, instead of walking back to the farm)

Perfect image to capture the feel of the California desert, Keith! I nearly went insane trying to pin point the location in that capture, but, there's so many places that look almost identical. My first thought was Kramer Junction, but then I ruled it out.
Did you shoot that from your car window, resting the camera on the window frane? I zoomed way jn to perhaps find tell tale info, and the image stayed pretty damn sharp. But, you didn't leave me enough clues to nail the location. ;)

Ahh, Kramer Junction! What a place! I backed my car into a light pole there once...
Carl, no need to go insane, it's Vidal junction. CA 62 and US 95. Gateway to the fabulous Turtle Mountains, home of picturesque geological wonders. Guess what? I just realized that the posted jpeg exif contains the GPS coordinates...open the jpeg in Preview and behold the wonder of modern technology!
The shot is looking WNW just after sundown.
I got out of the car, and shot approx. 10 overlapping horizontal frames, handheld, with the Zeiss 50/2.
Here's a pano of what I've named Two Tone Butte, in the northern Turtle Mountains.

DOH, Vidal! I didn't think about that far East when I wondered where you were. Sheesh, I used to go through there at least once a week coming from Lake Havasu to Beaumont for the night. Also came through on the way from Bakersfield to Phoenix (via Needles/Parker) about once week, but different weeks than the Phoenix/Havasu/Beaumont/LA basin/Beaumont/Phoenix trips. Those were the Phoenix/Lucerne Valley/Bakersfield/Phoenix trips.

Traveling I try to take a few panoramas. Since I'm usually traveling light with a D7100 and no tripod, it's no doubt a little informal, but it gets the idea across at least. There are things like the penguin colonies on South Georgia that are hard to convey.

Thanks Hugh, much appreciated!
This pano gives a somewhat "distorted" view on this area, as it is really not so big. Also, right now it is bone dry, except for this little pond. Heide = heather and there is none right now. In fact, it is so dry that we've had some fires the past couple of weeks. I'll show some pics of that in another thread.
Thanks again!

Already published in another thread (Nikon D6). A stitch of 9 vertical (portrait) pictures taken with a Nikon D6, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL at 70mm. The images cover a panoramic view of the Swiss Northern Alps, between Montreux (left) and Aigle (right), taken from Le Bouveret, in the middle of the Rhône delta, flowing into the Geneva Lake (Léman). Setup on a Really Right Stuff (RRS) TVC 34L tripod and BH55 pano ballhead. Panorama processed with Adobe’s Lightroom Classic (LrC) using a cylindrical projection. Nodal correction made.

Nice vista with the D6 !!
Another one of mine, not a contest winner, but a nice wide view none-the-less. Somewhere in the Vendome, France (originally over 20K px wide), i forget the town's name.
-
Very nice. :) The town is indeed Vendôme, in the center of France, Loir-et-Cher.

Location of Lavaux in Switzerland
Although there is some evidence that vines were grown in the area in Roman times, the actual vine terraces can be traced back to the 11th century, when Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries controlled the area. It benefits from a temperate climate, but the southern aspect of the terraces with the reflection of the sun in the lake and the stone walls gives a mediterranean character to the region. The main wine grape variety grown here is the Chasselas.

Wow! Akira and John, great stuff. Panos to show the big vista.
I've chosen differently, using a pano (20 images) to show a seemingly normal view. Went out the other night, this is basically at the back of our residential area, some agricultural fields.
[EDIT: edited to add: yuck, the halo again. It's not there in the original]
-
Thank you, Hans!
Your image looks indeed normal, but the original file should live up to a HUGE print that would look spectacular.
I observe the halo around the trees but I guess that is due to the aggressive compression.
-
Nice one, Hans. IMO, It could be posted at higher pixel dimensions (≈2000x2000?)and still meet the size restrictions of the Nikongear site.
-
Thank you gentlemen! Much appreciated.
I think that there is much halo-ing from compression, but to really get rid of it i have to look at 100%. And, as Akira states, that would mean a huge file, so i'm not sure 2000px would help. I've had this with another pano i posted before (of a London scene) and did a hyper careful re-edit. But, then i loose some of the punch of the photo.
Thanks again for your comments and suggestions!

Thank you, Armando. This particular pano consists of only three horizontal frames, and it took only 3-4 seconds to shoot all necessary frames. So, there was no exposure issue even though, as you assume, the light and color were changing quickly in this time of the day.
A question from me as well: I love the idyllic pano. I realize it contains foreground. Did you need to adjust the nodal point and use a tripod to shoot the frames?

Hello Akira, "Munich" is some sort of "hobby" for me. Thought, why not preparing some shots while using the shift function of the given lens. Since the lense is very sharp through the complete area, it could be used for architecture photos as well.

Maybe you can tell from previous post it is actually "Faro de Trafalgar" in the coast of Cádiz. It is related to the battle of the same name, also the reason there is a "Trafalgar square" in London. Aside from the historical references, the beach and surroundings are spectacular. Great place to eat too, many local delicacies :)

Trajectory of a gryphon
Being locked in for the Easter lockdown, there is not much of a chance to move too far from the house, so these days I'm reviewing old photos and cataloging a backlog of about 20000 (down from 35000 as of March 07...). So this one came out, it's a 14-pic pano in the Gorges du Verdon, France. After the pano, I have added the gryphon from each shot with the clone tool (the photos overlap very much, not all gryphons were present in the pano).
Had done a similar one with the takeoff of a stork from a pond, with telephoto lenses the images overlap very nicely down to the pixel and it's very easy to position the animal at the right place using features nearby.

Can you share what you use to stitch images?
I don't own Photoshop any more - just PS Elements.
The last few times I've tried using it, it seemed to apply a big reduction in resolution whilst stitching. I haven't found a way round this yet.
Whilst this might be OK for viewing online, I'd like to do some large prints and need all the res I can retain.

Hi Colin
I use Lightroom for the panoramas.
Select all files and the Lightroom will do the rest.

Colin, I use Photomerge in Adobe CC, but Microsoft offers Image Composite Editor for free:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/product/computational-photography-applications/image-composite-editor/
Earlier, there were lots of glitches in the stitched images, which seems to have been addressed over time. It hasn't been updated from the ver. 2.0.3 for quite a long time but it should run on the current version of Windows 10.
If you are Mac user, I'm afraid I don't know any free app for stitching.

This is a free panorama maker, works on all platforms.

You are welcome. I remember the YouTuber Tony Northrup saying that MS ICE is better than Photomerge but I'm pretty much satisfied with Photomerge which also has been improved over time. Good luck!

Microsoft says the download of ICE is "no longer available".Thus I'll never know whether ICE is useful, unless I can track down an alternate source for the program.
I run Hugin on my Linux boxes. PtGui on the Windows systems. Both work well enough for my purposes.

Can you share what you use to stitch images?
I have used Arcsoft Panorama Maker (Pro version, allows for 100% size in stitching)
I have also used Microsoft ICE 1.4 (32-bit version), but it is easily maxed out and displays MEMORY FULL just by a stitch of three frames from a Z7
The 64-bit version of Microsoft ICE (v.2.03) handles memory better...
I have also used Hugin (both 32-bit and 64-bit), very powerful and Free
Some cameras have the stitching included in the options, like most current smartphones. In the Nikon world this includes most of the 1 Series Nikons
Sometimes it's a useful feature, you get to see the results immediately on the LCD. You can rotate the camera in any direction, and you can also keep the camera in portrait mode and have a higher vertical resolution (like John Geerts a few posts ago). In that case the photo will appear vertical and you have to rotate it in Post-production, not a big deal anyway.
An example with Nikon 1J5, recent Mayor election-day in my hometown (original is 4800x920 px):
[if I had used the 1J5 in portrait mode, vertical resolution would have increased to 1536 px --> 4800 x 1536]
Very nice for a walkaround camera!

Specially for Akira:
Stitched panorama of the image in the August thread that includes the image of the thread. Here you can see the angle and source of the light. Same post-processing for the bunch.

A place set up to capture the melting snow Paco? Certainly a great place to capture the last of the light!
I'll be visiting Andalusia next year if things go as planned :)

I think so. It is on the way from the city of Granada to the Sierra Nevada ski resort.
If you come, I'll probably be around. ;)

Thank you, Paco, for the location image. It does illustrate the lighting situation really well and proves that your choice of the angle-of-view was spot on!

My pleasure. Thank you for the encouraging comments.

I placed one of the images merged in the September thread so you can see better the details. I think the impact is somehow lost here in the web sized panorama. Anyway...

Thank you Akira. It is spectacular to be there and I thought you may like it with all the contrast and clouds :)

Yeah, there should be no doubt about that!

Stitched for a different reason.
Not a crop. I took 2 images this morning unsure if I needed more foreground, with an oppressive sky; or some sky with little foreground. On developing I end up merging both in the vertical panorama you see here.

Nice framing, Paco. I sometimes (maybe more than sometimes) feel the 2:3 ratio a bit too long and opt more for 3:4.
