Another attempt at a stitch. (how do you print these???)

I wish I did this picture differently.
I think the spirit is there, but the execution ... eh. Please let me know what you think, how this could have been done differently. Thank you in advance!


Taken with a Powershot A70, stitched in PS7. Levels, curves and colour balance adjusted.

I really like it. Especially the way they wrap around the curb. I think you did a fine job.

I think that this is one of the most visually interesting pans that I have seen -- exceeding my darn "forest" pans by a "city" mile ! Looks like New Oeleans. Might be Wales. Great spot for a wedding, etc.

In terms of doing things differently, I am not sure how to get away form the curved top of the building: -- possibly by locating yourself more in the center of the pan,
-- possibly bu moving the camera along the shot, and also,
-- shoting in portrait mode might have (depending on the topside of the "view") altered the emphasis on that line, but this might
-- alter that nice curved curb.

I don't think that there is any magic to printing. You either find someone who prins large shttes of roll feed or you "paste"!

HOWIE

hey thank you for the comments! (almost forgot I posted this in here).

I would like to return here on a nice day like it was then (it's at Niagara On the Lake right in front of the Prince of Wales hotel) to take that shot again, this time trying what Leighow suggested.

The curve is interesting, but I personally didn't think it suited this picture. I'd love to print this full sized and hang it on my wall, but with the frame, I have a feeling it's going to be much too expensive. :p

Thanks again! :)

Epson do some panoramic format paper that will go in an inkjet.

Never tried to get one framed though.
