Pano-palooza!
Dustin Frazier on Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 1:02AM Apropos of absolutely nothing, I thought it might be fun to share some of the panoramic photographs I’ve stitched together over the last seven months. Adobe Photoshop’s Photomerge feature makes this incredibly easy; it hurts my brain thinking about how they automatically match up the photos, align and skew them to fit together, do color correction and white balancing, and all that fancy stuff. However they do it, some of resulting photos are pretty cool. Enjoy!

Those are awesome Frayzhe! I think someone had waaay too much fun painting that library... reminds me of that Sony TV ad.
Thanks, Greg. I'd never seen the Sony TV ad, but it's almost exactly like the library! Cool CG on that (I'm assuming).
Oops, that link was standard def... it looks a lot better in 720p. I don't think they did it with CG though. There used to be a "making-of" segment that I can't find now, but (if you believe it!) apparently they actually dumped a pant-load of balls down Filbert Street. They blocked off all the drain grates, and covered the side streets with nets just out of view of the cameras. And it took quite a while to pick up all the balls. :-)
Man, those Bhutanese archers must have been pretty good. How did they make their arrows curve like that
hmmm, I don't understand it either. Would like to see all the images that went into this compilation, tho. I like Everest best!
Was with a group of photographers yesterday, some were talking about a feature in photoshop called "liquify" and how much fun they were having with it. I don't have photoshop but would love to experiment with it. Maybe when we get our Mac's...
That's what happens when you try to do a panorama of stuff that's right in front of your face. The archery range was a lot longer – and a lot straighter! – in person.
and where are you going to put all of these amazing photographs? especially the ones of the two of you in these places. I think you will need a gallery!!
they are all so wonderful!!!
