[KolisNeon2002]

Ah yes but now we know where his phone is and where he is. Ransom would have been fun...maybe next is right Andy By the way Jose I believe I saw you today.

 

[Lord_Zath]

if you start now i may have it by tomorrow, LOL

Yeah so I'm stupid and realized that the ORIGINAL that the canon software made when it stitched the pics together is 1.4 megs so I'll just upload that.

Here it is for anyone who wants it

May I ask how you managed to get such a good picture?

 

[StarvingRussian]

Nice pic! Look closely at Joe's front grill though.

May I ask how you managed to get such a good picture?

If you're asking me, then here's why.

I own a Canon PowerShot A80 digicam which has a built-in Panoramic mode. Basically, I can take a picture using the LCD screen and then it will put an edge of the picture next to the current one as an overlap so I can correctly line up the shot. So I take picture one, then overlap a little on two, overlap a little on three, and keep going until I'm done. If I wanted to (and I really want to try this out for the next meet), I can go in a complete 360 degree circle and stitch it together as a massive panoramic.

Once the photos are taken and downloaded to the computer, Canon's PhotoStitch software takes over and automatically matches the pictures together and creates a seamless panoramic which I can then save and edit, resize, add text, etc.

It's really fun and although it's recommended you be on a tripod for exact matches, I did all my shots handheld and they came out quite nice. Here's another pano I took though it doesn't have the fisheye effect.

Hope that helps.

As for the problem w/Joe's emblem, I'm working on trying to fix that. It's a disadvantage to the stitching there's always one part that's off. In the Starved Rock pano I made for example, one of Ken's foglights became an oval. I'll see what I can do!

 

[KolisNeon2002]

okay thanks

 

[Lord_Zath]

Nice pic! Look closely at Joe's front grill though.

FIXED! I used three pictures to make this panoramic. The first overlapping area goes through Chris (Bijou)'s car's side and so I don't think much is affected. The second, however, ran straight through Jon (Familia)'s front. That's why it was mixed up - the computer put two emblems on!

I THINK it's fixed; I was able to move the second overlapping area over to the left so that should be no problem now. Thanks Andy for pointing this out to me. Lemme know if there are any more defects so I can try to fix'em!

I just noticed Jose had a few mismatched spots on his front bumper in the second pano I put up; plus, my license plate was messed up. So here's a fix to this one as well.

BTW, I notice many people blurring out their plates on pictures. What for? Is it really a big deal?
