My best friend and I rushed to City Island to capture the sunset. Unfortunately, it was gone by the time we found a spot. We snuck into a construction area and I didn't have a wide enough lense for the following shot. (I don't think anyone has one this wide at that distance. lol)

So here it is, C & C allways welcomed and noted.

    The right side of the photo looks a bit out of focus. Nice machine!

    You did very well Trevlan, looks like you have a little problem about 2/3rds of the way across the top of the crane with the sky there?

    Did it not join properly?
    At the size you posted the shot it looks pretty darn good for a first try clap.gif

    Well Done thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Shady Sunset @ City Island
    Hi everyone, I'm Trev's best friend and what Trev failed to mention that it was about 9pm, pitch black, and the mosquitoes were kicking our butts.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Second, we didn't miss the sunset; the darn sun decided to hide behind some really thick clouds.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    We were very ready to jump over fences and hang ourselves from any pier that would have given us the shot, but the sun was stubborn. <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Our experience has netted us a very open space for our next time. We will conquer the sunset shot in no time. :ivar

    BTW: We got some pretty good shots though.

    It's either vignetting or because of different exposure settings between frames. I've done panos for a little while now and have discovered that if your entire scene has different amounts of light, and you want your exposure to stay constant across the scene, then you need to use the Exposure Lock on your camera. Set the exposure at the frame of interest ... turn on exposure lock ... then start panning and taking the other frames.

    But even if you do that, your panos will still suffer from whatever vignetting is in your lens. If you can, study the vignetting from your lens and try to remove that before you assemble the pano.
