Disney panoramic photos

[dpic]

With digital, creating panos have become much easier. I use Photoshop (CS4), and the "photomerge" operation makes panoramics quite easy. This photo is made up of seven images shot vertically. I took the flag out for "distraction" purposes.

This one was just two images that I shot with my 10-20mm super-wide. Because the images were shot horizontally, there is distortion, but I like the image.

Nice job, bobQuincy! I've hand-stitched my share of panos, and it's a pain. The main thing I like about having it done in Photoshop is the way it blends the images--especially the sky. I really had fits with trying to blend sky tones together by hand. Now, I simply tell it which photos to use and stand back.

I really like your photo. That's a hard place to shoot, and you did a great job. Who was the featured performer that night?

Can you tell me what is the technique? I know that Photoshop is involved but when you take the shoot???

Thanks

Thanks! I use an ultra-light monopod, it helps a lot. In this crop I could just about see the score well enough to play the music (if I could play music).

The narrator that night was Cicely Tyson, in her last year of narrating for the Candlelight Processional. She was *so* good at telling the story!

I've got to get a monopod. I carry a mini tripod on my backpack, but it's kind of a hassle to get out and set up so I don't use it much. A monopod would be much easier to use. Which one do you have? Also, I wondered if that was Cicely Tyson--I would love to have seen her. We had Jaci Velasquez the night we went. Not impressed. She had to read everything and didn't put much into it. That was in 2005, and I don't think she's made it back.

The real trick is to overlap your shots by at least 1/3 and shoot with the camera vertical when possible. That helps cut down distortion. Some always use a tripod with a bubble level--and that helps, for sure. Photoshop makes it easy to put them together, but there are a few free programs on the net that will do great things. I think Photoshop Elements has the photomerge operation, too. I stitched as many as 13 images together. I'm having the one on top (Main Street) printed out as a 30"x90" print. I'll feel like I'm there.

I carry a monopod made of aluminum tent poles. It weighs about 3 ounces but is very stiff in the vertical plane (the one where most vibration occurs). Any good camping store can make them or there are some online stores that can make them also. Mine is six sections, I fold two sections back for seated use. Try to get Easton pole sections, they are the best I have found.

For those with more $$$ and looking for the ultimate, the poles also come in carbon fiber, half the weight, 10x the price.

Thanks for the information. Very usefull.

But when yoou take the shot, what about the ''moving'' thing. For example walking people, moving cars??? The time you take the multiple shots, means that's impossible to have these people to be still.

I hope you understand my question. (i'm not to good in english)

Thanks

Don't worry about that. I've had shots were one person was in the pan twice. I just cloned them out. If you use one of the photoshops, it's pretty good about that sort of thing.

Also, Jeff, I liked your shots, too. In fact, I've liked many of your photos on the boards--especially the Liberty Belle reflected at night in the fog, nice shot. As far as your panos, the top is my favorite, but the tiger is extremely de-"tailed" and original.

I think they were both around 6 images each. Merged in full auto mode with PanoFactory.

Sorry these aren't of Disney property but they are from Florida this past October.

12 pix at my daughters apartment pool area in Orlando stitched together with Canon PhotoStitch software (came free with my camera). Really good stitching software for the price. I use it more than Elements or Photoshop stitching. A little bit of distortion through the pool itself but it was just a quickie pano (no tripod - handheld) and did NOT use the lens distortion correction in the software.

10 pix taken from Sand Key Park south of Clearwater looking north. Been too lazy to delete the extra Coast Guard ship in the left third of the pano. Handheld images also like the pool area. To lazy to get out the tripod as we just stopped for a few minutes while traveling back north.

THis is the first one I've ever attempted. Wish the light would have been more even.
