| My first ever panoramic test
The original to this is MASSIVE, scaling it down this much still left it 2.5mb :-/
It may not be the most interesting of subjects, but it was a fun experiment!
I used an open-source utility called hugin and just handheld the camera for around 14 shots in a 180 degree arc.
I had to do almost no manual editing other than a bit of cropping (and scaling for this post)
I think I am sold on photo stitching- they are SO easy to do. And I didn't have to limit myself to the horizontal direction. I'll have to go back and do a full 360 degree image! -- for all your Linux questions |

| reply to nklb Nice result especially given it's your first attempt. I'm planning on trying my hand at it "soon" if we ever get sun around here (Boston) again.  -- "Life is too important to be taken seriously" - Oscar Wilde "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF HUMAN STUPIDITY" |
