My Autopano Pro forum

I have made a project for myself this summer -- capturing the "nooks and crannies" of my neighborhood at night.



This image is of our GAR Hall -- which hosts the North River Arts Society of which I am a member. Over the next few years we plan on restoring the old girl.

This image was captured with a Nikon D200 at ISO 100 using a homemade panorama head. The photo is a composite of 9 overlapping images, each exposed for 40 seconds. Lens used was the now-classic Nikkor 50mm f/1.2, shot wide open for a nice, dreamy look.

Print size is 24"x48"

STITCHING NOTES: the upper left corner wouldn't stitch no matter what I did. Super pain as the only points were star trails that had moved from image to image (40 second exposures each at f/1.2). I finally got it to "work" somehow, but I cannot explain how I did. Subsequent attempts to stitch the same images always fails to get the upper left image! Thankfully, I saved the project that did (mysteriously) work but I am concerned going forward that APP2 is going to be much more work than I had thought.
