Cameron,

I know this was not possible yesterday, but as a bit of whimsey, consider your second image ... take the concept of having multiple brides, extend that to have the the same bride (and, perhaps, her groom) appear in each of the frames that makes up the pano ...

It's been done before... ;-) :P - April 3rd 2005... 8) - If I remember rightly, a few people believed my story that they were triplets for a while :-) Shame about the exposure on the 3rd image, but it was too good to waste...

John,

It's been done many times before, and a long time ago.

Many, many, many moons ago, when I used to do weddings, I would do this sort of thing all the time. One of the favourites was to do a double exposure using a mirror, with a view of the bride holding her wedding dress up to her shoulders, but seeing her reflection wearing the wedding dress. All done in camera.

Did you do that in-camera? :)

The two brides are one and the same, I was rather annoyed that they moved into the 2nd frame, but it would have worked better if they moved into my subsequent frames.

Very nice effect John, shame about the over exposure on the far right.

nice panos Cam, I reckon with all the brides there that afternoon you could have almost filled the frame with 'em!

My pick would be the afternnon sun pano (the 1st), it seems a bit soft which is probably due to the downsizing, but the warm colours and the framing trees are tops! :up:

You are the master of panos Cameron!

Did you use a pano head? Which software? PTGUI?

Thanks!!! but I dont think I am worthy...

I am not the master of panos!!! There are plenty of people in our company that are much better than I am!!! (nudges Biggerry)

Nope I didnt use a pano head, since you were shooting near me for most of the night you may have noticed that I was just using a 055 Pro B with a 322 RC2 head. A pano head would be nice, but I dont think I would be bothered to bring it out even if I could justify it. As for software, I am using Auto Pano Pro at the moment, it works heaps better than CS2 which I was using up until about a week ago. I have been told that PTGUI is good though.
