Discussing the finer points of panorama photography and stitching:  Bent and Elias at Rethymnion harbour.

[David Paterson]

Very entertaining and enjoyable - spectacular flowers and mountain scenery -  looks like every one had a great time - productive too - thanks for posting so much good stuff.

Elias, I love the photo with the Greek flag!

[elsid]

Thanks David and Jakov for commenting. The blue in the flag came from the blue sea and sky we have in this part of the world.
Some more flowers from the Botanical gardens.

Old town, Chania

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Flowers are as follows;


Borage (Borago officinalis) (with a smattering of Anthemis cf. chia)
Vinca major
Anagallis arvens (salmon pink variety,  f. azurea with intensively blue flowers apparently is the most common form)
Calendula officinalis (a cultivar)
Rosa sp. (cultivar)

That day I did the Anagallis myself, in UV. Still have a boatload of files from the visit to the Botanical Garden to process as I shot a mixture of UV and visible images that day.

Thanks Bjorn for your..... scientific help.

Elias, the flower series looks nice!

This is how the picture in reply #5 was taken

Now back home and having some free time I will post some more pictures from our very cosy trip to Crete.
