First Pano - Tall ship

[stubbsy]

My first attempt at a pano. Taken during my tall ships sail. Not really very happy with this, but thought I'd post it anyway. I should have thought of the concept when the ship was a little larger I think

The larger version is at http://stubbsy.smugmug.com/gallery/433052/2/17612388/Large

I'm a sucker for a nice pano so I enjoyed this... Did you take this while on one of the ships??? Looks like the trailing wake behind you...

Mate, it looks like 1780! Taken from a moving deck, well done

AWESOME!!! Love it.. I too am a sucker for a good pano

Stubbsy, if this is a stitched pano you've done very well, esp given the conditions you were taking it from! Impressed

The view of the heads from that angle is really quite impressive - gives a real feel for the height and rugedness (sp?).

See what you mean, though, about it being a pity the ship wasn't bigger.

Your shots from this unusual day out have been great - thanks.

Peter,
It's nice pic and first successfully handholding pano from you. Thought shooting in portrait mode, the ship will be taller and bigger.

This is the Bounty taken from the Svanen (which I was on). Both of us are heading IN to port, so the Bounty is in front of us. The wake is from a pleasure craft that was checking us out.

Stiched with Panorama Factory from 12 images

This was shot portrait mode (one of the things I had taken on board from other's posts), but I cropped it a little since the foreground was mostly water

Everyone.
Thanks for your comments. Next time I'll do better

Edit: And taken hand held with 24-120 VR On and, stupidly, in Shutter Priority mode (1/3200) rather than manual. The aperture ranged from F/3.5 to F/7.1

WOW,

great result.
Congratulations Stubbsy.
You've done well.

Cheers

Well done Peter... In the words of the challenge... "Frame it and sell it"...

How many pics were stitched together??? Did you use Autostitch?

With the quality of this and recent software advances, it really makes you wonder whether you need all these expensive tripods, heads, spirit levels etc...

12 portrait images - used panorama Factory. Tried Autostich but couldn't get an image bigger then 84K out of it.

Yeah - tripods etc. That's why I've gone with VR. Really paid off big time on the ships as without VR I'd have had lots of blurry shots.

Well done stubbsy, You escape from the 20 Lashes you were about to receive if you really stuffed it up.

Mic.

By the sound of it, you need to play with the scaling in the Options menu before loading in your pics... Edit-->Options-->Scale=100% or Edit-->Options-->Height == the height of your original images...

Peter i think it looks ok maybe if the ship was a bit further over in that sunlight might have changed it a bit, but still ok but i haven't dome many of these as i dont have key for my panorama factory so dont bother although i do like pano's.

Very good for a first try.........when you have a bit more practice would love to read a how to do it post......

Pete, it's wonderful, I think the smaller ship size is very effective against the size of the cliffs. One to keep and treasure.

I see and i like. The smaller ship size just adds to the remoteness of sailing the high seas.

Well done Peter.
