Here is a different slant on panos. A closeup version.

Two closeups stitched to give a single quality image. No cropping. To get the same effect with a single frame it would need to be cropped in half.

Thinking of using the technique for large wide prints of various foliage.

Comments?

Excellent image and a great concept!

impressive attempt

I'd imagine dof issues would be extremely hard to deal with here - and I'm impressed you've got it as clear as it is. Would love to see a full version, especially around the join

How did you go about this? Did you plant the tripod and turn (as usual) or move the tripod (in which case the dof issues I refered to above would be extreme!)?

Great shot. Great concept well executed. I'm impressed

Thanks Stubbsy, Matt.

Sheepie, I kept the tripod in the same spot with the camera positioned in the middle of the branch.

I had the lens fully stopped down (f/40.0 in the exif) which helped with the DOF with shutter speed of 1/5s. Lens was Tamron 70-300 Macro.

The full version is 7.4M which is just a bit big to upload but it is virtually impossible to see any join.

Just out of interest here are the two originals (just resized only)

Nice job joining the images slider. The second one looks quite out of focus, you've done a good job making it sharp in the final product.

have a look at this site if you are into pano's

Thanks Owen. I was quite happy with the way it ended up.

And thanks for the tip BP. The more info the better.

Good to see something different as a pano it works well, joined well too, can't see any joining affects, nice and sharp and detailed.

Out of curiosity which software was used for the stitching?

Andrew, I used Pano Factory. Works pretty well for most things. Gets a bit odd with longer lenses though.

that is brilliant, can not think of anything else to say
