My Panoramics
 

I don't really do any hard core artistic photography, I just take pictures of what I think is cool. I'm an amateur, and haven't taken any photography classes. I've been messing around with my Finepix 3800 for a couple months now, and my panoramic collection is growing so I thought i'd post some of them. All of them are compiled of several normal pictures, and were pieced together and edited in Photoshop.

The first 2 are of my backyard, and the second two are North Chicago. Both the Chicago ones were taken through a window on the 21st floor of a hotel, which might explain any strange marks or smudges you might find.
And heres just something silly I did when fooling around with one of the Chicago ones.

I'm going on a road trip in a couple weeks, so i'll probably be doing a couple more panoramics along the way :) I'll post them here.
Let me know what you think of these, or if you have any tips for the future.

nice backyard, dude. tree houses rock. you play up there? ;)

great job splicing yer pics.

i only recognize the hancock building in the chicago cityscape. only really been to chicago once... (can't count just passing through o'hare, right?)
...when i was in college & on orchestra tour. a bunch of us went up in the hancock for some drinks.

I really like your cityscapes. And that funky one you swirled together turned out really cool! Was that hard to do?

I have been meaning to take some skyline panaromas of OKC forever. Now that I've seen yours I'm galvanized into action. I'm going to do it this weekend! Thanks!

i nearly always end up doing landscapes too - i don't know much about art but i know what i like ;)

those are good, i like em a lot, especially the city ones

i reckon you know more about panoramics than me but i'll think if i have any advice

i have always liked those panoramic shots, wonder if my digital does that???

last pic is amazing

Thanks all, glad you like them :)


If your digital camera takes pictures, it can do this :D All I did was take 3 or 4 or 5 pictures, making sure to keep it level as possible, then I just compile them and edit them together in Photoshop. But last somebody showed me their digital camera that actually does have a panoramic setting. I'm not sure how it works though.

Oh and heres one more I did last night while I was at a lake. Not the most spectacular sunset ever, but it was good practice.
