Timely topic - A few weeks ago I had a chance to take photos from the company's Condor lift. The platform goes to 170 feet. I just got CS5 and used it to put together this pano from 15 raw files. There's more work left to be done, but it's not bad for a couple of button presses. To bad the weather wasn't nicer.
I had to reduce it a bit to fit within Smugmug's size limits. After you get here - click on the O for the original size photo. You can scroll back and forth tho see the whole thing. <http://georges.smugmug.com/Other/panorama-test/12139253_yoFM6#863210980_VqYcf-A-LB> We were there to shoot the Lineworker's rodeo. Those photos are here: <http://www.georgesphotos.net/Events/2010-APPA-Lineworkers-Rodeo/11653488_V85Nm#821748346_vB2xe> See you later, gs George Sinos -------------------- gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net 2010/5/10 Ralf R.
