I went out and shot this pano yesterday afternoon with my Biigma DG. I could of got by with a lot lighter lens (I was shooting all the way at the wide end) but I wanted to see how it performed for panos. Shot handheld, 20 shots, f/8, 1/640, stitched with Autostitch.

    Very nice!

    I cannot imagine how difficult stitching the moving water must have been! Is this stitched both vertically and horizontally?

    Cool!

    Thanks for the comments. I would like to say that I labored over a hot keyboard for days on end without sleep to create this. But in reality it was pretty effortless. I loaded all the shots into Autostitch and hit "O.K.". Autostitch will chew through it and spit out a completed pano in very little time as long as you keep the final resolution to relatively low number. I stitched this at about 10% of what the max. res. could be. Which is perfect for web posting. The amount of computing time gos up geometrically as you increase the resolution.

    Actually I had to clone in a few areas because I realized after I stitched it, that I didn't pan far enough to one side of the rows of shots. Probably because I had to stop and swing the lens out of the way several times for people to get by on the sidewalk I was shooting from. 11doh.gif

    Thanks for looking!

    It's approx. 7 shots x 3 rows. It was super simple with Autostitch no effort required. I even shot this without a tripod and guessed at enough overlap.

    Thanks!
