The garden in spring
Took a break from painting the flat and spent the bank holiday at home (my parents). It gave me a chance to play with my cameras, and to perfect normal panoramas (see below for a picture of the garden) and fisheye images.
Unfortunately the fisheye images have so far come to nothing – not only does it seem devilishly tricky to get the images lined up (even with a rotator) it takes even more effort to stitch them together. No luck again this time. I will give them one last go from the top of a fell in a couple of weeks time and see if they can be perfected with the wide open spaces of Cumbria and the North York Moors.

Panorama of the Pinetum at RHS Garden Wisley
One of my favourite areas of RHS Garden Wisley was the Pinetum. I took this panorama one lunchtime during my last weeks I was working for the RHS.

Just before I left the RHS I had one last weekend duty… Sure I could have timed it better, but then I would not have had the opportunity of honing my panorama skills with this image of the inside of the new glasshouse.
Incomplete Panoramas – test 2
WP PTViewer has come to my rescue for both complete and incomplete panoramas!
Incomplete Panoramas – Chinese Pagola
I think I have cracked making 360 degree panoramas, but I found that Autostitch can make some pretty good pictures which aren’t full panoramas. But how to display them when they can be quite sizable images…
Using Zoomify I have found this is the perfect tool to allow the image to be scrolled around and zoomed. Because it slices the original image and only loads the pieces when required it means some of the pictures can be quite large with good detail.
No more Zoomify, WP PTViewer has come to my rescue for both complete and incomplete panoramas!

Panoramas!
I have always liked panoramic pictures, but until now I have found them very frustrating. I have dabbled with iPix, have tried to use various camera software and even tried to understand some of the stuff made available online.
My newest, and at the moment favouritest toys are Autostitch, and to get the images easily only this blog, IImage Panorama WP PTViewer. I would highly recommend both.
After a couple of practices I think I am now ready to post a couple of test panoramas…
