stitched together

ok, so Flickr doesn't allow to big of an image my original file is 20,000 x 1144 that I tried to upload, it reduced it to this... (well twice as big as this pic) the original original is 13 images spanning from Covington, KY to across the river to Cincinnati, you can see the Delhi hill on the west. Sorry for the tree in the middle and the power cable on the right.



I haven't put it up yet, anywhere, but I thinking that this is nice.

Beautiful landscape shot. Looks like hard work!

I couldn't even begin to imagine how to do that. Great work.

Good pano!

Two suggestions from a compulsive pano shooter:

1. Try shooting with the camera in portrait orientation to get more vertical coverage. It'll take more shots, but it'll be worth it if your stitching software can handle it, because it'll give you more room to work with for cropping or rotation to fix a tilted horizon.You can also try shooting multiple rows.
   
   
2. Use Manual settings. My personal pano shooting mantral is "manual manual manual." Manual exposure, manual focus, manual (i.e., NOT auto) white balance. See how the image gets lighter around the tree? That's because the darkness of the trunk threw off your metering, and your camera automatically adjusted the exposure upwards for the shots that had the trunk in it, and then went back to a darker exposure for the shots without. To avoid that kind of exposure shift between shots, locking your aperture/iso/shutter speed to be the same for all the shots is what Manual mode is for. Similarly, switching to manual focus keeps your focus point from shifting between shots, and a non-Auto white balance setting will keep your colors from shifting between shots.
