My first attempt at a panoramic shot

[Capt Nemo O2]

I had made my own panoramic tripod head, and finally had a chance to try it out. This picture was taken this morning in Columbus Circle in NYC.

Unfortunately, its too small because its so long!



The bigger picture can be seen here...

Very nice pano... You can see all the car on display in 1 shot...

I guess you take the shot from right to left... Can see the guy in the square shirt 4 times...

What a fun project. WTG!

Thanks guys!

I did in fact go from left to right, but I actually started just to the right of the fountain. Photoshop just happened to merge it perfectly like that the first time! I was so glad I didnt have to play around with it! But man, was it annoying constantly having to wait for the cars to go by! I lived in Florida for three years and comletely forgot how busy NYC can be at 7am on a sunday! I would have liked to do a "little planet" type of shot, but I couldnt fit the whole panoramic tripod head into the trunk.

Yup. You cloned that one guy four times, but that happens (sigh)--you could try alpha channel masking before stitching, but I have no idea if Photoshop understands that the way the PanoramaTools stitchers (like Hugin and PTGui) do. I do love the lineup of cars at the curb.

If you need a small pano bracket, I'd recommend the Nodal Ninja 3. Well worth the $200 if you plan on shooting a lot of panos. And if that's too expensive, there's always the Panosaurus.
