A look at Hanauma from the opposite side. I used full zoom plus the Canon 1.5x tele-extender - zoom ~650mm equivalent. I forgot my glasses, so inadvertently used Aperture Priority rather than Manual (the double A I saw looked like an M. :^\
Maybe AutoPanoGiga will soon be able to fix this problem!
This image also shows the auto-focus limits of this point and shoot. I look forward to a DSLR model so I can return to this spot and take a new gigapan with my Olympus E-510. Notice, though, that you can see people on the trail up to Makapu`u Point, about 6.5 km (4 miles)distance!

Nice GigaPan, Richard. What accounts for the severe curvature of the projected image? Were you shooting downwards from a very high point? Not leveled? Or is it some unexpected artifact introduced during the stitching process? I've seen something like this (but to a smaller degree) in one of my own panoramas (http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=10509), but I don't recall what I did that may have caused it.

Mahalo Ron. This is what Randy Sargent had to say about the curvature: The curved nature of the pano makes me think that the stitcher is getting confused through some combination of focus, which makes the scale of close-by images look different from far-away, and parallax, which makes apparent motion of images look different closer and farther away. Both are triggered by having stuff that's very close and very far both. So the easy way to fix this would probably be to remove a few rows at the bottom to remove some of the very close-up images.

I'm just curious how large was the file and and all the pictures on drive ? Maybe you could use different stitching soft to produce straight picture ... Posted by kralcak |
