Panoramas! That’s what this month’s post is about!
A friend asked about some panoramas I’ve done, and as it turns out, I have a number of them. The way I do them is to take a picture, then turn a bit and take another picture that slightly (but not completely or mostly) overlaps the previous one. Then, I use the program Hugin to stitch them together. That is to say, step one – take picture; step two – finish the rest of panorama. Easy Peasy!
This one is from Glacier National Park – the black areas are where I had no image for that angle, and I simply didn’t bother to use the cropping function at the time. Hugin can handle adding control points so it knows where the images overlap, the stitching together of them (bending the images so they fit), the cropping (which I did not do here) and more (I am not an expert user of the program). Note that even after clicking on these images to view, you still might have to right-click and view the image itself in order to get the full image to load.

You can see some stitching errors on some of these if you look closely – the most apparent one being that post in the bottom right of Crater Lake. There’s also some exposure issues in some (like the sky changes color) but I wasn’t really bothered with that. I don’t use the program that often but I hope I’ve gotten slightly better at using it.

And there you have it, a pile of panoramas. I leave you with one more, one of the first attempts to make one:
