{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. http://www.flickr.com/photos/silverm...12998/sizes/l/ -- Father McKenzie http://www.flickr.com/photos/silvermoon/ |

All you are doing is attracting the attention of Chinese spammers. And what on God's earth made you think you'd get more coverage? Do you want to be lumped in with those Idiot American's who cross post just to make trouble or gain attention and instead act as magnets for the chinese spammers? Just look at how the ruined their own groups. The messages are being cross posted here. Time to stop this stupid practice before there's only you and the trolls left, mate. You have a contribution to make, that for sure. Why not just do it in Aus Photo where it belongs and avoid getting killfiled for cross posting to more than 3 groups? you have piqued my curiosity Douggie, how is crossposting "attracting the attention of Chinese spammers" what specifically causes a cross post to attract their attention ?? I would have thought that they just download a list of available news groups and then set their little script to spam the lot, far cheaper (even at the average slave labour rates the Chinese pay) than having someone looking for cross posts and flagging them for "immediate Attention" Do you realise who you are trying to get logic out of? I love his "You have a contribution to make, that for sure" did he even look at the picture? This guy just posts the same HDR crap over and over. HDR doesn't below in a photography newsgroup.

HDR is purely and simply a way of trying to overcome the dynamic range limitations of digital cameras. It's still photography, it just relies on a little more post-production than in-camera jpeg. HDR is just the modern equivalent of dodging and burning in the darkroom. |

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..) |

HDR is just the modern equivalent of dodging and burning in the darkroom. HDR in a seascape is piece of cake. Just shoot the skyline and below as two different exposures (or develop one frame two ways) and blend them together). No trickery that hasn't been done to death in a darkroom. I did this with Cibachrome in the "good old days". Now if I do it with a computer program it's all of a sudden some sort of black magic? I don't think so. |

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. - -- Brendan Gillatt | GPG Key: 0xBF6A0D94 brendan {a} brendangillatt (dot) co (dot) uk http://www.brendangillatt.co.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFH6o2uuv4tpb9qDZQRAvQsAKDEm5QF5tNjNB6qQbHQlE i6xBVLmQCgukSi UH8MuAVcNUduMmgQedl5GMU= =8irt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
