While not as good as the panoramic I posed several days ago, this one is of a slightly different nature. This was taken in virtually the same spot as the last one (the top of a parking garage). The small building right in front of the sun is the building in the left in the previous panoramic. See larger version.
This is a compilation of 10 vertical shots and has almost the same aspect ratio as the previous panoramic, but with larger dimentions. The final cropped image is 12735x3025 (around 38.5 megapixels). Again, the exif data is taken from one of the photos (they were all the same), so essentially 25mm x 10. The stitching was a pain, mainly because I don't think I took quite enough images so the perspective was stretched further than it should have been between some of the pictures.
Most of the stitching wasn't too bad actually, except for the bulding on the left. Half of it was in one picture and half in another creating a perspective nightmare. I didn't think to take a shot of it head on. After messing around with the perspective of the photo furthest to the left and trying to match it up as best I could, you can still see the cut (middle corner). If you look closely the windows (and hence the floors) don't line up. The horizon to the left of the building also doesn't quite match. Ok, now how many of you noticed that before you read it? ;)
Thanks for all of your input on yesterday's question. I really aprreciate the analysis. I might dive into it some more tomorrow. My final for the summer class I am taking is on Friday, so we'll see.

I certainly did not notice anything before I read your comentary!
Love the warm colours in the foreground building Ryan.

Again a very nice panoramic view...... nice light, it gives warmth.

The only thing I noticed at first glance was the distorted angle of the left-side building. Didn't notice the stitch at all. That said, it's still a wonderful view of the Phoenix skyline. The light is wonderful, and your exposures are spot-on.

You know I love panoramas. Something about 'the big picture'! Have you tried a grid? If not, try a two by three grid and see how you like it. You'll likely get interesting and unexpected results. You'll also likely have a lot of fun.

WOW!!
Very Cool! How did you ever find the spot for that photograph.
Some of your best work!

Incredible shot. I wish I could take photos like this! You've done an amazing job with the stitching.
June 27th, 2005 at 6:02 PM
Personally, I thought that this image is up to par with the other panoramic shot that you had a while back.

OOO pretty, After reading I took another look at the pic and found out that if you tilt your head to the left, and squint really hard, you notice that the windows are not inline, just shows that you have a better eye for perfection than I do. Anywho... I think this photo is absolutely marvelous!

Beautifully done.

I love these panoramic shots, especially as they are of sunsets (what better time to take them) and the way the eye is led across the shot.

This is definitely a favorite of mine! I love the composition, the color and especially the 3-D effect of the buildings on the left.
June 28th, 2005 at 4:06 PM
wow - very nice and beautiful situation! good composition....

You did a good job stiching all those images. I've never tried it myself, but it looks like a lot of fun.
