Panoramania

Please humor me here as I play around with the "photomerge" feature of my brand new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended software package! To get the full panorama view you have to click on the image to open it up, then use the "back" button on your browser to return to the original blog post.


This is the inside of the new University of Phoenix Stadium, obviously. This was made using three separate shots that I tried to keep as level as I could as I panned the stadium from my seat in the upper corner.


This Grand Canyon shot is stitched together with three shots taken from behind the Bright Angel Lodge. Ideally they should be taken with a tripod, but since I'm all about traveling light I think I did pretty well without one.


This is the view from the far east end of the park by the Desert View Lookout Tower. In this case I tried using five separate shots, so you can see the end effect is a little distorted. It almost looks like you can see the curve of the earth!


Another three-shot composite, taken from behind the Chapel of the Holy Cross just outside the city of Sedona.


A scene from the back country outside Sedona that we explored on our Jeep tour. This one is made from four images that I intentionally shot with a lot more overlap, and I think overall I'm most happy with the end result of this one. I'm still learning though!
