    Never done panorama stitching or I'd offer to help. If no one else does, I'll take a stab at it.

    Those are some of the best photos you've posted here. that sunset is goregous. But your beach, camel, shade, flower and sand shots are also great.

    Nice work. thumb.gif

    'mongoose, I've read up on stitching photos for a panorama. Since no-one else has raised their hand, could you send me the piccies so I can take a stab at putting them together?

    Did you overlap between shots? I'm learning that doing so is the key.

    coppers booking someone on the beach...they sit there with laser radar. (speed limit is 50 mph but you see people at over 70) Most get booked for riding in the back of the ute as these were, a quickly diminishing ozzie passtime.

    If that's the 'edge of the wasteland', then this must be the middle! Actaully, I've never posted a stitched pic before and I'm not sure about the sizing. So this is just a test. Hope it turns out o.k.

    Ill have a look to see Quigs...its not a great shot so i think i may have canned it. My prog is good but it works with the camera but when i cant ref something on the horizon...i stuff the overlap up.
