Cory,

Obviously this required great labor on your part. But it was worth it. 
This is breathtaking, at least for a person who never seen a landscape 
such as this in person.

Not as breathtaking as lugging my out-of-shape, sorry butt (plus 
50 lbs of overnight camping and camera gear) up the 4600' mountain in 
order to *take* the picture to begin with.  Lemme tell you... :)

It wasn't *too* much work.  Much of it was automated.  Software 
used was all open-source though, which I find kinda cool.

- dcraw to make 16-bit color-managed TIFF's
- Autopano-sift for most of the control point generation
- Hugin to fine-tune the control points and generate the pano control file
- Panotools (through Hugin) to morph individual frames.
- Enblend to blend the individuals into one big one.
- Cinepaint/gimp to crop and rubber-stamp out dust spots and few chunks of 
missing sky and add a bit of USM.

Thanks,
-Cory

Thanks... that's why I've been trying to finish it up... to make 
prints for the family.  The ones I'm giving away I printed at 8x52 at 
466 dpi.

What's the commonly accepted minimum resolution for a personal

almost 20 feet long at that.  Yikes!

Technically, it's a lake on the right.  Drains right into the 
ocean a couple miles away.  The water on the left is the ocean.

I prefer to stick to about 200 ppi, but for a very very large print  
150 would be fine. :-)

Hi Cory
a very nice panorama!
I would cut the last part because of the different lightning or try to
correct it.
I have the same problem with one of my panos from Mt. Pilatus, one shot is
darker than the other 5.

RE: Another Panorama PESO...

2006-12-13 Thread Cory Papenfuss
I did notice that, but I'm pretty sure it was due to side-lighting 
on the lens causing some flare-ish stuff.  All of the exposures and 
processing were identical.

I really didn't want to get into that level of manual tweaking. 
Besides... the color skewing doesn't seem to be consistent.  The dark 
areas are slightly darker, but the sky seems slightly more yellow to me. 
Since it's a limitation of my gear that I could do nothing about, I guess 
I'm less concerned.  Previous panos I've done have had vignetting due to 
shooting with a wide aperture or other technical flaws that I *could* have 
done something about.  Those I'm much less excited about.

Yeah.  Basically, I took a bunch of test shots with the terrain

quite.  After that, everything was manual (K-lens, and all...)
