Auchmithie at dusk pano

[Davie Hudson]

I'm feeling rather sluggish today as I was DJ'ing till 7am this morning and frankly am knackered so i'll post this mellow little number

I do rather like that Davie - very nice - I quite like a good pano myself!

Very nice range of cool tones in this image.

Is it a single frame crop or a stitched pano?

 

[Davie Hudson]

it was stitched Chris from about 15 pictures

 

[Hamish Gill]

That is nice!
15 pictures! That's a lot?
Why so many? I don't know anything about panoramic stitching! I suppose it's better to use a longer lens for quality???

7am eh? Been a long time since I state up that late, and icertainly wasn't working!

It's been a fair time since I've been up that early!!

 

[Paul Lange]

Lovely shot, I did try to post a longer post yesterday but it coincided with BT's massive broadband failure and it all was lost!

 

[Davie Hudson]

I have heard that yeah, that it's better to use a long lens and it's such a big area to get that's why there was so many pictures involved. I did add a blue tint in pp to create the mood.

actually now i think about it i got what i think was a cracking sunset on my way out of Auchmithie that i'll post in a minute.

The 7am thing lol I was Dj'ing at an allnighter in Edinburgh ... I was running the Rhythm & Blues room so i started the niht at 10pm and finished it from 6-7am the drive back to Dundee was a nightmare

I guess there is less possibility for distortion in a longer lens too!
I really dont know anything about this sort of thing, but i suppose if you really go into it, you could find the optimal focal length of your lens where it displayed the least distortion and use it at that?
Do you use any sort of pano tripod head?

Not at all, I literally stood at the top of the cliff and pivoted at the hips

Blimey!
Good work!
