My try at a panorama

[2jamesl]

I made a right pigs ear of the horizon and wondered if you guys could help.

Comments appreciated.

thanks

First of all, you have to stitch up the horizon straight. It looks obvious that it's patched up as it is. And I can see the same cloud patterns repeated, so you have to take care when you are cloning. Apart from that, this could be a good panorama.

thank-you for your comments. I will work on it now but i have a rubbish panorama stitch prgramme. Do you have a free online download suggestion?

Thanks

ok, heres the new one!






I boosted the contrast slightly as well, levelled the horizon with a soft clone brush and got rid of the double cloud.

While it's harder to find the dividing lines between the photos, it's obvious zoomed out that something isn't quite right about the shot. You might want to try levelling the horizon by aligning the original shots again, i.e. starting over... it's not the quickest option, but it's the best way of making everything truly level.

Other than that, it's pretty decent.

Ahhh, well the thing about that is that it takes 6 hours to get there. Its a sicluded island in the middle of knowwhere with 19 inhabitants!!! I think i will make do with this one and keep working on it based upon what you have all said. Thanks!

I agree, excellent results almost all of the time and it's pretty simple to use in the default mode.. bit trickier to mess with the settings though

Oh no I wasn't referring to retaking the pictures. Just align the individual photos you have a little better. Start a new panorama.

[joust]

i will give it a go then, but i cannot get the hang of winzip.

[2jamesl]

yeah, it worked ! Its not the best ive used so i think i will buy one. IT distorts the picture hugely and i know it isnt the set of pictures cos its the same with all of them.

Thanks for this link, just tried it myself; very impressive for a freebie!

It has limitations though...it seems to "forget" bits where there is little in the way of reference points.
This is 15 shots out of a back window...and for the golfers out there that's the 135M par 3, 9th at Torrequebrada.

Polarbert is this the one your looking for?

[Polarbert]

No its not that I'm afraid. The one I'm after was literally around 14000 pixels wide.
