Holiday Snaps Roundstone Bog-Connemara
-
Pano of Roundstone Bog from last week. Four shots stitched. Done without a tripod and with a Grad ND x4 filter so blend is probably not the best. C & C welcome MJ
Super shot MJ, Love the colours. The dark cloud on the left looks a bit to dark but feck it i still love the shot well done to yea. Would love to see this in print

Lovely job. Your modest comments are totally unwarranted – this looks great.
I assume the dark left side is caused by variation in sunlight. Maybe you could
balance it a bit before stitching, but apart from that I like it a lot.Martin, Pete,
Cheers for the feedback. The light was pretty on the ball at the time. However, Ihave just discovered ptgui and I’m going to redo the shot. What a class bit of software. I have attached a stitch of Salthill from 20 shots. MJ
Cheers for the feedback folks. Does anyone know how I could ‘uncurve the earth’ in this shot. MJ

It is a tiny bit pronounced, isn’t it?
Try lens correction in PS filters?griangraf wrote:

that can be done right in ptgui, although i think you need to purchase it first to use the feature if you haven’t already.. i’m not sure how familiar with pano software you are so if you feel like i’m telling you things you already know then my apologies.
upon opening the program you have three buttons, 1.load images, 2. align images and 3. create pano.
click on the first button to load your pics as normal.
then click on align images to get them all together. take a look at the popup, if they’re not lining up properly you’ll have to click on the “control point” tab at the top and put in control points manually, then bring up the two images that aren’t aligning properly (pick the number at the tab on top of the two screens, make sure you put a different image in each side of the screen) and place a control point in each image where they match up, ie, a mountain peak, metal obj. sticking out of the ground, easily spotted point on a tree, etc… normally you need 5 control points matching things between the two images.
you need to go back to the first screen when you’re done, then click on align pano, it will go behind you and nudge all the images into place. it will also make a few corrections.
click on align images, and then you can move the pano around within the space to get the horizon straight.. you can also move whole photos around within the pano (once i had a photo that it couldn’t place so it stuck it in the middle, i moved it to the proper spot and added a few control points.) in this popup view you could try to use the “straighten the pano” button which is the one thats a line with arrows above and below it.
if that doesn’t work, click on the “panorama edit view,” the icon that looks like a pyramid of 3 pictures, left click on the middle of the horizon and drag it to the intersecting lines in the middle of the image, then right click on the different sections of the horizon and drag them to the horizon line..
close the popup, go back to the main screen and click on “create pano”…
bethBeth, Pete,
Cheers for the advice still having problems with curvy skylines. However, I have started to get to grips with ptgui. I have redone the the origin in ptgui. I’m not sure which I prefer. MJ
