One of the things I like to experiment with when in “landscape mode” are multi-exposure panoramas. That is, using the computer to stitch together multiple (overlapping) frames into one long, high resolution image. I don’t doing anything fancy. Usually, I just switch to manual exposure (so that things don’t change on me unexpectedly) and shoot away; no special “nodal point” tripod head for me.<\/p>\n
The “problem” with panoramas is what to do with them once you have them made… they are very long and thin. In a word they are unwieldy! I don’t have the proper equipment to print them with (i.e. a printer that takes a roll of paper). Even if I did get them printed, they are a pain in the “you know what” to mat, frame and hang on the wall. So usually they just languish on my hard disk.<\/p>\n
Thus, I have decided to see how they work out displayed here. Please stretch your browser window as far as it will go; these images are roughly a thousand pixels wide. (Click on each image to see the “full” version.)<\/p>\n
