{PIC} Playing with Autopano and PTGui
 

Got to the lake just as the sun was setting, this is an 8 picture pano
using Autopano.
I tried it with PTGui but couldn't get the opposite shoreline straight
and PTG was putting a stright line through the rippled down the bottom
below the buoy.

Hey Fr - nice work, although I do think it wants a foreground
element.. maybe a little row-boat..? Don't you keep one in your bag?

I'm about to get into panoramas more over the next 6 months - i can
feel it in my lenses.. And I really want to get the hang of them
'stepped out' ones, just like the great man has demonstrated... (O:

In PTGui, did you find the straightening thingies, (I think they are
"T" control points..)? They have worked for me when things got a
little bent, but it took me a while to work out how to use them. (Now
that I know how to use them, I must have been pretty thick..)

FWIW - I have found that the pandora plug-in for GIMP does a pretty good,
automated job on panoramas.

I have to say that I really like using Autopano--it's just so _easy_ to
use! It is also nice being able to export a PtGUI file if any tweaks are
needed.

Brilliant colours on the photo. I like the way the waves encircle the
boat in the centre.

Works well with hugin too.

Yes, but I find pandora much simpler.

The extra control in Hugin comes in handy when you're pushing
the envelope.

Absolutely. I've only used pandora on fairly mundane projects.
