A look into Euroland
Hi All.
By the looks of it, 99% of the people here are from the opposite side of the world to me. I hope you don't mind me sticking my face in. As a small intro: I'm Rob. A brit, living in Belgium. Had a D70 for just over a year and lovin' it. Panoramas are my main thing, and here's one I made locally. A sad ruin from the 1700's 
Regards, Trebs. (Doesn't fit the suggested 800pix wide, but it's pretty narrow, hope nobody minds.)
Hi Rob,

Cheers. I've been tracing the history of the place and I've found the owner, Apparently there is some planning dispute that's been going on for 10 years or more. A real shame. MHD: Thanks.. a pleasure to be here. surrounded by fellow D70 nuts. Of course, the advantage of making panos, even of something this simple.. I can print them nice and BIG. I have this photo hanging in my office printed at a metre wide. Regards, Trebs.
Thanks Trebs,
It should be a very nice mansion if it's restored to its original. Just a waste! You've done a great nice job in pano! Birddog114

trebs, great first post and welcome to the forum. Don't worry, we have plenty of OS members. Poms, Yanks, Canadians, Koreans, New Zealanders, French (just off the top of my head) and many are very active members of our community. Hopefully you will be too
 If I'm alone in a forest and my wife is not around to hear what I say, am I still wrong ??
Hi trebs
Really like the picture. Can you let us know what method you used to create the Panoramic & B and W effect? Cheers CC
Welcome trebs......... nice to have you here...... good pix and good b&w.......
cheers Big Pix Cheers ....bp....
Difference between a good street photographer and a great street photographer.... Removing objects that do not belong... happy for the comments, but .....Please DO NOT edit my image..... http://bigpix.smugmug.com Forever changing
CC, I shot this buy hand, 4 images in portrait with about 20% overlap on each image. To stitch the images together I use Panotools and PTgui.
It takes a bit of time and experience, but the method is reasonably straight forward. As for the B/W, I used Photolab CSI monochrome filter in CorelPaint. There I can tweak hue, saturation and exposure. Together they offer a good amount of control over the "feel". Plain desaturated Black and white was just too cold for this image so I warmed it a tad with the browns. Finally, I added a new layer and airbrushed around the edges of the image to give that spooky feel. The layer's opacity can then be adjusted to enhance the feel. The vignette effect also draws the eye to the centre of the shot. Trebs.
Do you use CorelPaint for all your PP'ing?
I haven't used that since v6, never understood why it didn't catch on. Once again great image, bet it looks really good 1m wide! CC
Welcome Trebs and as others before me have said - a great shot and would love to see lots more

thanks again everyone.. for the warm welcome and the comments.
I will indeed post more. In the mean time.. there are a few on my site. http://www.vistapan.com I've a heap more that I need to upload too. CC, I use Corel V8 for about 90% of all my editing. It's been a solid workhorse and doesn't lack much that even the latest PS versions have. I also use Elements 2 and PS5LE, mostly to check compatibility of Corel's in/output of .PSD files. I'll have to upgrade one day, I know. It'll probably be CS2 as industry is biased that way. Regards. Trebs.
