Brisbane pano

[jasonleezzzzz]

Here's a pano shot of brisbane city from southbank and another pano from the bridge going over to QUT. C&C welcome.

F8
8 sec
18mm



F5
1/800
18mm


The exif data should be right but since it was about 4 shots each to get the pano, it may be a little different.

hey

abt the pano, u take one frame of 8s, then another frame of 8s ar? on tripod?

[jasonleezzzzz]

erm i first selected my f-number in Av mode, then metered the different scenes to get the shutter speed number.. it turned out 8s was about avg.

Set it to manual, put in f8, and correspondingly 8sec. that gives me even exposure throughout the 4 shots.

Hope i explain clearly, if not can the expert bros here share? That was my first pano, and pretty pleased on how it turned out

[jasonleezzzzz]

on tripod yes

[rockstarwatercooler]

hmm, the metering part, what do u mean? Paiseh!

Good effort for making the panos, especially the nice colors of the first one.
I would love to visit there someday

Just some nit pick

- for the first one I am not sure if the curved foreground greens and the right ? jetty
could have positively contributed to the picture. Having rotate ard a point to make the multiple shots especially at wider angles can introduce more distortions. Look out for the horizon.

- The silhouette and the overall color did not express the warmth of the morning, and somehow the placement gave the impression of a slanted horizon even though the buildings appear vertical.

I first set the mode to Aperture priority, select a suitable F number (8 in this case), then half depress the shutter while aiming at different parts of the scene. You should see the shutter speed change accordingly to the bright and dark parts of the scenes. I get different shutter speeds of 5,8, 10, 13 so the average is 8.

I then turn to manual and input F8 and shutter speed 8. THen I shoot. hope u get what i mean, if not hope the experts can help. lol

yes i forgot that there's vignetting at the wide angle of the lens, i should have taken the pic at 20+mm instead?

I didn't crop out the ferry station because i thought the picture would be less 'pano', i wanted the pic to have a wide feel. On hindsight,maybe i should have

Btw I didn't rotate around a point per se (which is require for proper pano photography). I simply rotated around on my tripod. I read somewhere as long as the subject is far away, it won't have parallax error.

It's an evening! LOL

like the 1st pano.

nice colours and compo imho.

[Shoooters]

Nice... i miss this place...

[karnage]

Haha! Miss this place too. That's not the CityCat jetty right? That's the Inner City Ferry one?

Nice pano shot on the 1st shot. 2nd shot is too dark...

[jasonleezzzzz]

thanks all for the C&C

That's an unused station already

[dctk78]

no it will. no matter how far or near the subject, you will have parallex error if you take a full 360 shot of the scene. With 4 shots, the error is just not apparent.

The first one is nice, you can adjust the vertical of the building by assigning some vertical lines to the stitching software you are using like PTGui. http://www.johnhpanos.com/levtut.htm This will make the building true vertical.

Captain Cook bridge ?
You study in QUT ?

QUT, Brisbane, Westend market ... , sound so familiar.
Haven't been there since 1992 .

By the way, nice pano attempt.

Hi etegration, could you elaborate on the vert lines?

After reading your link, what i understand is, on top and above of the usual identifying same features on 2 photos, I should also add 'vertical line' control points is that right?

What i usually do is click 3-4 identical features on my pics and let hugin (my pano software) do the rest, assuming everything will be a-okay.

I'm studying in UQ btw, and westend market rocks! The guitarist that is, not the groceries.
