THanks steve.. My mac has photostitch type of program, but the photomatix... Does it combine photos?? In which way?

It stacks and combine differently exposed images into one. and the final results have much more detail from shadows to highlights, and everywhere in between "seeing more like the human eye."

What is Photomatix?

First try at photostitch.. More to come and better stitch also,,lol.. This is the lake at the top of a mountain at the vacation home.

 

[Bob 1000]

A foggy shot of the a good portion of the lake this is 5 pictures.. I have to make sure I use the tripod for these shots.. You can still se the seams without the tripod..

^^^ It's not only the tripod, you have to make sure all setting are on MANUAL.

Shtr. Speed
Aperture
White Balance
ISO
etc.

Here is one dusk, not the best pano at all but can you tell where the shots meet? 9 shots i believe (scroll sideways)

 

[BZOFIQ]

and here is another one at dawn (probably 7 shots) scroll sideways

 

[Bob 1000]

Aw that's nice.. Why do all settings have to be on manual?? Is there a certain ap, shutter, white bal, and iso that doesn't leave seams.. My shot should be a lot wider..

 

[Bob 1000]

I cleared up your picture.. and why did it shrink???

Because if they are not manually specified the camera will change them from shot to shot and you get different expore which then doesn't match.

If you set the settings manually they will be exactly the same through the shoot therefore all pictures will be roughly identical in exposure so the program only performs alignment into a panorama and does minor blending to join the "tiles"

Thanks, just learned a lot from you.. I'll be posting a lot more pan pictures now..

 

[BZOFIQ]

To figure out what exposure to set using manual controls do the following.

Put your camera in P mode and set the ISO and white balance manually.

then point onto the subject and the camera will automatically adjust exposure for you, note the F stop and shutter speed. Move the camera from left to right to cover your entire panorama and make sure the exposure is roughly the same across your "pano sweep". If the exposure is entirely different for each section of the pano you'll need to average the shutter speed at the same apperture.

Now switch to manual mode and set all the settings you've recorded manually. Start shooting, make sure each picture covers at least 25% of the previous frame. Import into the comp and stitch together using your favorite stitcher.
