Anyone else capturing several images and stitching them together to make panos? Well, let's post them!

The images were captured digitally with the Nikon D800 and the 24-120 f4 lens. Stitched together with PS. I did not have my LF camera with me on that trip.

I had seen pictures of this place before I visited it.

I now know that photography is completely useless in conveying the actual visceral feeling you get when coming upon a scene such as this, which reveals itself at the final moment, as you approach the edge. If you haven't been there, then any photograph will allow you be blasé in your reaction to it. If you don't believe me, do an image search on google for Horseshoe Bend.

Too many frames, stitched.

No, no HDR on this. I saw this rather imposing thunderstorm rolling in and ran down the street with the only camera I had ready to go (cell phone camera, that is) to find something to put with the clouds, this is an abandoned school about a block from where I live. This is actually kind of tame compared to what it really looked like, it was pretty dramatic.

Jb7, original or not, you made a very fine image of Horseshoe Bend. IMHO, we have to record images that resonate with us, even if they are well-known images. In my own case, I couldn't visit White House Ruins in Canyon de Chelly, or Rancho de Taos, without making my own images, even though I am well aware of the already existing classic images, let alone all the "amateur" images. You were in a spectacular place, and made a wonderful image.

Thank you Nana, Peter-

There is a thread, current now in 'On Photography', with the premise that 'All our photos are the same' -
surely this image must be one that might offer some proof of that.

To make pictures is a compulsion; the question is, now that so many people have the unprecedented ability easily to travel further than the next village, with a pocket sized tool for making thousands of images, (theoretically approaching infinite resolution, if using a stitching technique) are the images devalued by their ubiquity? A reading of economics might suggest this to be the case. Although, perhaps they mean 'images' and not prints. A print can occupy a unique point in space and time, and perhaps can be seen as the fetishisation on an image...

I took this on my honeymoon, when I travelled with a single DSLR, because to bring a bigger camera might have been unnecessarily selfish. My wife was scared of the drop, so took one look over the edge, then retired to a nearby boulder, no more than three feet off the ground, while I stood on the edge to be buffeted by the surprisingly strong winds. I took the pictures hand held; although I had brought a pano head, it tends to be unnecessary for distant views, and I didn't have the rigging to extend the camera over the rim anyway.

This is an extremely wide vista, I would be surprised if it could be taken in on a 47XL on 4x5; even if that were to be possible, then I'm sure the signature of a 120º lens would have made itself apparent around the edges of the picture. I do like wide lenses, but dislike the attention they can draw to themselves if they're called on to represent any kind of geometry on the periphery of their view. Stitching helps...

Thanks again for the nice comments...

First, let me add to the chorus of what a great image this is!

As to originality, who's to say if originality even exists? Depak Chopra pointed out in a lecture I attended that the central nervous system, if laid out flat, would look exceptionally like an antenna. He then asked, and I paraphrase, "What if we don't have original ideas? What if each of our antennae is tuned to a slightly different frequency so we each pick up slightly different versions of universal ideas from the cosmos?"

A question as timeless as the scene you so eloquently photographed.

Apologies if anyone posted this already, but while searching for stitching software, I saw that PanaVue is going out of business (?). Aside from the sadness of that, they are giving away their Enterprise Edition 3 for free:

Not doing anything from my 4x5 Provia film work but rather with an A6000 on a Gigapan Epic robotic head. Using Autopano Kolor to stitch and Photoshop CS6 to focus stack blend and process the Autopano outputs. Autopano much better than Photomerge in CS6. Have made some much larger stitches than the below. Each stitched panel is focus stack blended from multiple captures using sharp lenses set optimally at f8 to f11, then downsized a bit, so all frame areas are sharp.

11,400x6000 pixels from a 3x2 frame set of A6000 6kx4k pixel panels.

Sutherland, Coigach and Torridan, 2005.

Six 4x5 sheets, landscape orientation, stitched in PS5.

More of a proof of concept than a regular way of working: I'm bad at 'seeing' wide angle, and I wanted to see how the shapes of the mountains, lochs and coastlines would combine in a 180° panorama. Planned to go back and re-do when the colours and clouds were more to my taste, but never did.

Set up the tripod like a mortar emplacement, with all the angles and adjustments set in advance. Taking the shots was done by setting angles on the pan head, working as fast as possible before the light changed too much. A minute or so per exposure.


PS: I thought I was spotting dust. Turned out I was spotting sheep.

This is a stitch of two 35mm film negatives shot with a Zorki 6 (1958) with Jupiter 3 lens (1956) on 200 asa film.
3 windmils at Leidschendam - The Netherlands. They were originally built in 1672. One of them was replaced in 1903 after the original mil burnt down.

The first is from Twin Arrows AZ and the second is from American Flats in NV. The "Twin Arrows" image has been exhibited many times and will be in an exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum in the spring about RT 66. In both of these images' cases I was on a commercial shoot and only had digital with me-hence why B&W with a DSLR instead of my 4x5. Canon 5DMII and Canon 45 T/S. The first is 3X and the second a 2X. Both print well up to 16x20ish. Though I am known for my 4x5 film based images in a pinch I can make these work. The first image suffered from a lot of CA which took a lot of work to remove.

This one, shot on Ektachrome E100G with my Mamiya RZ67, consists of two frames shot using the 75mm shift lens. As it is possible to rotate the lens and shift it to left and right horizontaly, I thought that taking a shot while shifted to the left and then another shifted to the right should result in two overlaping frames very easy to combine in a panorama. Well, probably not a very original idea. It works:

And here is another one, this time two 35mm frames of the amazing Agfa Ultra 100, taken with 21mm Biogon and Contax G2. This time I did not intend to stitch them, I just noticed after having the film developed and scanned that these two frames overlap nicely. Thank you Zeiss for 0 distortion, I did not correct geometry at all, just simply put two images together.

Those lines are damn straight johnmsanderson, did you pan using some sort of mechanism to pivot on the nodal point?
Nice work.

alen -- no pan here. using lenses with big image circles and shift movement (with the 4x5) to record several negatives. With the 8x10 camera available I use split dark slides and take 4x10s with standard 8x10 holders. Some of these require a little more on the width so I opt to use the 4x5 to get a little more than 4x10, maybe 4x12 on some (like the White Lake Depot, above).

thanks!! glad you dig them.
