My "Stepped-out" Panorama

Took a few (54 to be exact) pics today of this school for the purpose
of making a Linear Panorama.

I'm only about 1/3 of the way finished with it as it has to be
stitched manually.
Stay tuned.

 

Bloody!
Do the inmates get time off for good behaviour?

 

A Linear Panorama is something I have never tried. I have read about
it and found it very interesting. Sounds like it's a painstaking job
requiring great skill. I look forward to seeing your final pic.

to do a linear panorama of!

 

AWESOME BRET

 

Stitched manually? Have you tried autostitch? Works on some things I
never thought it would stitch.

 

Yeah... Like a 10 year old and 15 minutes of work. Should tax his
fried brain matter enough for him to give up... He's only a copy cat
shooter anyway. What he can't steal he tries to imitate. Hey
Jackass... Any chance of seeing some originality from you sometime
this decade?

 

Any chance of seeing your Manly Corso panorama here, Doug?

Y'know - the one you did for a "client".

The one made up of 8-9, or dozens or 50 different shots, depending upon
which version you're spinning.

The one where you showed us two shots from the same vantage point, yet
refused to admit as such.

You can't, can you?

You could prove us all wrong, AND elicit genuine apologies in one fell
swoop.

Why don't you, Doug?

 

Well so far he hasn't lost the driveways in his shot, he hasn't added
buildings or parts thereof, where none exist, and he has complete staircases
that lead somewhere. so just how is he copying you again ??

 

Have you any conception as to just how boring and puerile your constant
inanities are to those who read these groups? You have been caught out
several times in a very decisive and thorough manner. You have been
proved to be involved in a number of areas of BS & deceit. You are a
pretend man with pretend skills, a devious mind and an imaginary audience.

If you want to convince people you are superior to anyone in any
fashion, then do something superior, don't just talk about imaginary
exploits. Try to create a linear panorama for instance, one that is
believable.

Actually, I'd like to photograph you, I really would. Would you
consider posing? I'd absolutely love to have a shot of your back as you
were permanently leaving. Any chance of that?

If you can't stop your constant childish attacks, at least put some
effort into them, use some wit, some humour, some originality. Stop
being so boringly repetitive and predictable. If you can't share
photographic skill, at least try to provide entertainment.

Why is that?

 

Have you tried Autostitch Panorama? I aotomatically stitched about 26
photos of a mountain scene and was very surprised at the outcome.
About the only setting you really need to change is the size (I think
it defaults to 10%).

There is no doubt in my mind that Bret's Linear Panorama will be a
great success. It's just a sad shame that your jealousy will get the
best of you.

 

That's really impressive. But what do you mean by "only about 1/3 of the way
finished with it"? It looks like you add add more to the left side, but I
don't see how you could add much more to the right side and still stay
linear.

I'm looking forward to seeing more as you continue with it. Nice work!

Into the asshole filter with you.

Plonk.

 

Neil- Public plonking is a waste of time and only shows your
frustration. Doug is way too amusing and provocative, and other things,
to be k-f'ed. Also, it's amusing to see "Rita" courting him. D-Mac,
however, will play Rita along for a bit, I'll wager.

 

He'll just morph to another sock.

 

Perhaps I wasn't clear. The photo of the school that I showed wasn't
the linear panorama. It was just a two-shot merge. The Linear
Panorama will be comprised of at least 54 shots taken facing the
school head on. The parking spaces made a nice guide for me so I just
took one from each of them, which are about 9-feet apart.

 

When they built that school a few years ago I immediately thought of
doing a linear pano of it. Just never got around to it. Even though
I took 54 shots spaced about a meter apart, I think I'll need to re-
shoot it with a lot more shots to make it look believeable. The
pattern in the roof is a big problem since the shingles all run in a
straight line. Also, the cracks in the sidewalk make for an
interesting challenge.
I think I should have taken one pic directly in front of each crack so
the cracks all went toward the camera. Maybe Rita can advise on this
since he is the expert at photographing cracks.

One other problem I had was that it was stormy yesterday and so the
light varied between shots. That building is so long that it could be
sunny on one end and pouring rain on the other. Maybe THAT is the
shot I should go for .... that would be really neat.

 

I haven't tried it, but I doubt it would be much success on a Linear
Pano taken from over 50 different locations.
