My Autopano Pro forum

11-19- Brockwell Park in London.

11- I wanted to visit a village between two lakes surrounded by forests in Poland during this period when the leaves were at their most amazing colors. By the time I got back most of the leaves had fallen and those that remained turned dull, but at least I was rewarded for this in Brockwell Park, that tree was spectacular :]

14- Same as 13, but over 400° . Which do you prefer, 13 or 14?

15- Inversed miniplanet made from 13

16,17- Other side of the park. 17 was shot standing in the shade of the tree from 16.

18,19- Both were bracketed -2/0/+2EV, enfused after stitching. The two trees in 18 are visible left off-center in 19 on the other side of the path.

After shooting I had some good Jamaican food with my brother in a tiny Jamaican restaurant, was yummy!

More soon :]

Great shots, DrSlony! The 11 is really amazing... I like very much the mini-planet.

Hello Dr Slony,

Above all, I prefer :

The second one (Ostende)
The 11th one (countryside with the the yellow tree in Poland).

Very artistic work.

"Ma"

The tree shot seems to be everyone's favorite, mine too I already had a person order it on canvas, 90x60cm, it looked amazing!

I had some problems with the forum while uploading, thats why I had to break up the photos into 2 posts, but even then i now see its some photos. Here is the continuation:

20- Westminster Palace, central London. I forgot to shoot the top row My brother said that it seems to focus on the white stripe on the road, he said there was no other photo like that, so I focus blurred it to emphasize, pure amusement :]

21- Westminster Palace, central London. Original.

22- Westminster square. The point here was to show that the inscription on the board is identical to the view, I never saw a photo showing this so I thought it would be interesting and amusing :]

23- Westminster Palace from the Northern side of the Thames. I think this looks quite postcard-like.

24- London Eye, I find it boring.

25- London Eye again, a lot (most?) of the steel cables were badly stitched so I had to fix them in post-processing. There also was a problem with the fact that although I wasn't very close, it was so tall. I couldn't go further away due to trees, and rotating it +90° didn't help, so I rendered as equirectangular and did some stretching to make the circle look like a circle.

26- Thames, St. Paul's Cathedral showing up over the horizon, also looks quite postcardy.

27- My tripod fell apart while shooting 27, so this was hand-held, it was shot after 27.

28- This is where my tripod fell apart (a leg slid completely out, I managed to put it back in when I got home but it fell out again in Wales. Adrenaline shot). It looks a bit 'dramatic' to me, I like it. Do you think I should keep the bird at the bottom?

All comments very welcome and much wanted :]

More to come!

BTW : please post the fishes !

Fishes incoming! And some starfish and a RC car too.

Did you enjoy them? Were they good? Did they suck? Anything you'd change? I need feedback so I can apply it to future panos, e.g. the ones from Wales!

great shots !!!!! marvelous...

i like soooo much the second and the sixth !!!

Finally have time to finish my Wales panos, so here goes (comments most welcome!):

31- Up on this hill the winds were so strong that my heavy tripod was blown over, had to shoot at ISO400, no chance of bracketing. By the time I shot 360° around and got back to 0°, the clouds were already about 50° off, so I was quite happy that APP did such a good job of blending the clouds. I had to move them manually into place though.

32- [here] Llwybr Treftadaeth Cefn Mawr A'r Ardal (Cefn Mawr & District Heritage Trail), people live in these boats and make a living by carrying tourists across the viaduct (extends left behind the house).

33- [here] Near Llandudno, shot handheld in under a minute as I was with family and every single place we visited I kept holding them up. Have I mentioned before how beautiful Wales is? Well it is.

DrSlony;

I love the lighting in #11.

Can you explain your technique?  All in post processing?  Neutral Grad filter?

Exceptional job.

Brockwell Park mini planet, made to look good and free for use as desktop wallpaper (1680x1050).
If you need a different resolution, ask!
Pixel sharpness makes all the difference, and resizing the low-res version wouldn't satisfy me :]

Thanks DrSlony, this has now replaced the Tulips as I said before this is one of my fav parks....

Best
Gordon
