Different Pano

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Here is a different slant on panos. A closeup version.

Two closeups stitched to give a single quality image. No cropping. To get the same effect with a single frame it would need to be cropped in half.

Thinking of using the technique for large wide prints of various foliage.

Comments?

impressive attempt :)

I'd imagine dof issues would be extremely hard to deal with here - and I'm impressed you've got it as clear as it is. Would love to see a full version, especially around the join ;)

How did you go about this? Did you plant the tripod and turn (as usual) or move the tripod (in which case the dof issues I refered to above would be extreme!)?

Thanks Stubbsy, Matt.

Sheepie, I kept the tripod in the same spot with the camera positioned in the middle of the branch.

I had the lens fully stopped down (f/40.0 in the exif) which helped with the DOF with shutter speed of 1/5s. Lens was Tamron 70-300 Macro.

The full version is 7.4M which is just a bit big to upload but it is virtually impossible to see any join.

Nice job joining the images slider. The second one looks quite out of focus, you've done a good job making it sharp in the final product.

Good to see something different as a pano it works well, joined well too, can't see any joining affects, nice and sharp and detailed.

Out of curiosity which software was used for the stitching?

Andrew, I used Pano Factory. Works pretty well for most things. Gets a bit odd with longer lenses though.
