This image is part of an ongoing experiment with stitching files. There are some significant problems with stitching the water, and close inspection will show terrible divisions. Generally, I used a digital slr with a fixed focal length 150mm lens, and made eleven exposures in RAW, then processed them together and made this stitch. The ISO setting was at 50, I used a polarizer to act as a neutral density filter to slow shutter speed for water effect, and the exposure was 0.4 seconds at f/22. I am using auto stitching software, and suspect I may have to learn how to manually blend the images to avoid those vertical lines in the water. if you have any tips please let me know. I will re-post this image when i come up with a better version. |

You are looking at a photo of Kelowna British Columbia in April of 2009 made with a digital slr on a tripod, with ten frames composed using a 50mm lens and the camera vertical. The camera records 8mp images, and the 50mm lens angle of view in vertical alignment allowed 15 degree intervals between captures. I have several different versions of the same image, this one was the widest so I have reposted it in lieu of the earlier ones.
The view is from the south-west to north-west, looking from Okanagan Mountain Park on the left, to Lake Country on the right. Thanks for looking and feel free to take snapshots. http://www.kelowna.ca/cm/site3.aspx |

The view looking west of the southern Okanagan city on Osoyoos Lake which straddles the Canada-US border in southern British Columbia. Thousands of acres of vineyards and orchards produce many of Canada's finest wines and tree fruits is this little vest-pocket desert. See if you can pick out the Dutch windmill which is about 3 km from the camera...This has to be one of the greatest panoramas in Canada...there's even a pull-out on Highway 3 where you can stop and take in the view.
That's sagebrush in the near foreground. Composed of 405 shots (45x9), FOV 3.9 degrees, 420mm EFL, Polarizing filter Ok, let's see how long this takes to upload on my dial-up...I'm guessing about 150 hours. ;o) Neat thing about this uploader, even when my modem disconnects after 12 hours it still keeps the upload going for about 10-15 minutes until I reconnect the modem. It must have a big buffer. |

This is a single row panorama taken with a 150mm lens at f/5.6 and 1/200th of a second with twenty-nine images stitched in portrait orientation. The area is above the city of Kelowna in British Columbia Canada, and follows the Kettle Valley Railway line through Myra Canyon. Look for a few of the restored trestles in the image. This area was ravaged by the forest fires of 2003, and only recently were the replica trestles completed for visitors to be able to travel this historic route again. Have a look to the right for a small glimpse of Lake Okanagan and the City of Kelowna. For more information on the history of this rail line go to: http://www.myratrestles.com/history.php |

This is day two of the Terrace Mountain fire near Kelowna. The Glenrosa and West Kelowna fire smoke can be seen on the left of the image behind the lake. I had a similar image posted before but wanted to try this HDR panorama. It is poorly done I know, and hopefully subesequent versions will be better. Three exposures for each of ten frames making thirty individual photos fused together and then cropped. This is my first "successful" blending, ie not many visible defects, but I have shamelessly increased the file size in photoshop to make the image appear larger when zooming, but the details such as trees and buildings are smeared. |

This is another version of the previous ice/water sequence already online here at Gigapan. This version was shot at the same location, though my position was downstream from the other shot, and the settings were at f/16 @1/6th sec and iso 100 rather than f/22 @1/2 sec and iso 50 like the other one. Additionally this crop is from a different area, and the overall file treatment is different, including how I save to jpeg. Thanks to all those who gave me feedback on the earlier version. I will take both versions down in the next week and try and post a "final" version after comparing the difference between these to images on Gigapan. Thanks for looking. |
