May-June Photo Contest - Panorama

[Barros VeeDub]

dont worry soze, i'm looking for photo ops all this month, now that a buddy of mine is home from college, we're gonna hit up and try our hardest, haha

i have a feeling this contest will have very few entries. unlike other themes, panoramas require a higher degree of technical skill and knowledge which might deter casual photographers from going out and shooting

Its very good at stitching together photos. Just take a panorama of like 4 more more pictures that overlap 15-30%, open them all up in autopano, and there ya go! I had never done it before and learned it in one day.

You dont need a dslr either you can use a regualr point and shoot.

Nah im pretty sure you can demo it. There is also hugin but that shit is more complicated.

http://hugin.sourceforge.net/

EDIT: Yeah I just checked you can download the demo version for free which should be sufficient enough for this

"Note: Files to download are the same for the demonstration version and the full version. If you download the software without buying a full-version key, you will have access to the demo version. If you bought the full version, please enter your key number at program launch. To get a key, go to our online store."
