Default Mt Roberts Panorama and other photographic oddities

Mt Roberts Panorama
It's really big, so posting it here would be difficult. That is a collection of about ten pictures I took from Gastineau Peak (elevation 3660ft) atop Mount Roberts in Juneau. Locals and basically anyone who has been there knows that there is a tram that takes you most of the way, but I still hiked it, 'cause I'm insane! I did take the tram down though

You can see more of my pictures of Juneau and the surrounding area here.

Very nice! Thankyou for sharing that. What program did you use to put the panoramic together?

My camera has a panorama function that puts up about 1/4th of the last picture, slightly translucent, up on the side of the viewscreen so I can line it up.
It came with a CD with a program that you could use to put it together, but it wouldn't work on my mac, so I just used photoshop!

I'm going to try that with the mountains around here where you can't look out of window without seeing a mountain.

What kind of camera do you use? I got a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot. With photoshop on my IBM. :

So is mine! Aren't Nikon's the coolest? Mine is a Nikon Coolpix 11, but if you have a ten I bet it has that feature too.
Just flip the little silver switch on the bottom right corner of the camera over to "scene", and then press menu and find the option that says "panorama assist". Once you get there you can choose the panorama direction with the direction keys.

Mine is a Cool Pix 5600. I found the "panorama assist" thanks to you! Not in the same place though. This camera does a lot more than I know. I just point and shoot!

I use Picture Project (that came with camera) to download. Adobe CS2 to chop and Irfanview to resize.

Autostitch works fairly well. I use the cheap free program and it puts them together pretty quick. Even cropping is not so bad.

So glad to hear I could help! I'd love to see any panoramas you make. I have one more that I took out at Eagle Beach:


I also took one tonight at False Outer Point, but I have to put it together.

Default manual modes

I know that Photoshop has all kinds of tools for adjusting exposure, brighness and gamma, but you can save yourself some time and effort if your camera has manual exposure settings.

You'll notice that all the different shots making up the panorama have varying levels of brightness and that the color differs, which is perfectly normal with digital cameras in the "snapshot" mode. If your camera allows you to manually adjust Fstop, shutter speed, ISO and such you can even out the differences by setting it yourself based on an average from several sample shots of the area you wish to pano. When you try it like this you'll find some areas overexposed and some under, but the sky should look the same which is one part thats notoriously hard to get right in Photoshop.

Now of course, whether or not your camera will allow you to manually set the parameters AND use the panorama stitch, thats another question.
