I ran some more photos though PTGui. Managed to crash it twice, and it couldn't auto-generate control points on a few photos. It also can't merge portrait and landscape photos, which seems like a weird limitation.

These are just roughs for evaluating the stitching software. When I actually make panoramas for reals, these will have the vignetting corrected, and the noise (hopefully) removed, and the exposure adjusted, and all those things that I secretly do to my photos in post-processing. They'll also all line up correctly too, which not all of these do. (On some of them I had to enter control points by hand, and being just a tiny bit off will rotate the whole frame.) (And they certainly won't have stupid watermarks all over them.)

So, here's your homework assignment:

I've uploaded the original resolution (3872x2592 etc.) JPGs from some of the above tests. Download these and stitch them back together with your favorite software, and then tell me how it goes. Some of them were taken hand-held, and so the camera moves position from one frame to the next. I was thinking of uploading the NEFs, but oh well.

Here are the files:

Have fun.

P.S. If you're wondering about the Burning Man ones; I climbed up a 40ft. tower, and stayed there until I was no longer afraid of hights. I was psyching myself up for an experience I had later that night — the night of the burn. I happened to have my camera with me at the time, and captured these (and other) photos of the sunset. They were all done hand-held, while hanging off a wobblely tower, keep that in mind when you can see the stars in the sky in some of them.

Berlin These are all photos from the Zoologischer Garten Berlin, except for the two of the moon, which were taken somewhere out in the German countryside, Southwest of Berlin.

Toorcon Seattle beta I like these photos more than the ones in Part 1. Unfortunately I don't feel like this is my best work.

Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Vlaams-Brabant, Belgium, and one of the spokes leading to the Grote Markt (I think). Taken last spring while I was visiting he-who-shall-not-be-Googled. I accidentally shot a bunch of these in low-res JPG insted of RAW, I forgot why my camera was set that way. You can't tell the difference at this resolution here. photo, May 23 2007, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, Vlaams-Brabant Julia Wolf Julia Wolf image/jpeg 2007 ( Read more... )
