Thanks man!

There ya go people! everyone should be able to with that! I know Marc uses one that is free too on windows that works great. I use PTGui and like it a lot.

Thanks man!

Its a lot of fun and not too hard. Be fun for you im sure.

MUCH more

 

Congrats Monte and well done!

Thanks for the feedback Kevin, it is always appreciated and one of the reasons I come back here.

Erhhh what the hell is a Panoramic?! (j/k) Although I have never heard or considered a vertical one before, interesting....

 

heck yea man! can do towers..trees..all sorts!

 

I've got the perfect idea for this week! Great choice and congrats on the win!

 

Ben did that really cool vertical pano of that waterfall a while back. I've never done a pano, so this is exciting. I have a pretty cool idea too, just need to figure out how to get it done.

 

Glad people are looking forward to this. I was worried people would be up in arms about not having stitching software

I can't wait to see peoples results!

 

Could always step waayyyyy back with a wide angle and then crop it super skinny haha I kid of course. Some cameras do Panos in camera nowadays actually so for those peeps no software is needed.

 

Grats Monte! I WILL be in on the next one. Bringing the camera with me to work if i have to!

For those of you looking for good pano software. Try this, it's what i use. AAAAAnd it's free!

Something I don't understand, my photo of the deviled eggs I did for the food challenge has 4x more views than any of my other photos. I don't get it. Sometime did something with it. haha.

 

I wish I could sort which one was my highest viewed..no idea though.

 

My entry for the week - The outlook from the back terrace at my work! I'm one of the few that can say my office is more than just a cubicle

 

My entry!

I really love deviled eggs.

 

So it was you!!

 

Wow great first entires!

 

Haha, I thought about this, but that is cheating, and cheating is wrong. Plus this is something I have never done before, and the reason for the challenge is to push right?

 

Haha, and it's actually specified in the challenge post...
VVV

 

Aint nobody got time fo dat! JK, haha, I am actually reading up on some how-to's right now.

 

Glad there is lots of first timers i love shooting panos! TJ..you'll enjoy it too, especially with the 10-22 i bet you can do some cool stuff.

 

I been doing some reading and one guy said the real wide angles aren't ideal because there is too much distortion and stitching becomes difficult. He was saying he prefers shooting in the 28-50 range. I will definitely do some test shots, this lens has minimal distortion above 14. I could try to correct it then stitch them I guess. I am going to take a bunch of different combos in the field and hope I get something that works when I put them together.
