About This is a lean time for photography for me, so I've been looking for neglected photos from last year (the kind that digital camera users delete!). Here's one where I was seeing what a new 20mm lens could do in the way of panoramas if I simply cropped top and bottom.

Dear Roger, this panoramic service is really a plus! I got the feeling that the park was entering my house. As technical quality the shot suffers...maybe overexposure. But as atmosphere it is wonderfully invasive!
Best regards,
Gabriela

Oh WOW! Roger, the full panoramic effect is awesome and I don't think it has suffered from over exposure as Gabriela thinks. I am wondering if the automatic UF sharpening has had a hand in this. It isn't apparent in the large format only in the super duper panoramic size. For all that, it is a great shot and thank-you for looking through the archives. Best wishes as always..Ray

You're right about the poorer quality of this image. I think it might be the high JPEG compression I had to use to get this image in under the 400k file size limit. Or it might be a less-than-optimum use of sharpening. I was experimenting with a new sharpening plug-in back then in the spring and I've learnt some things to avoid since then. Also the lens itself is not THAT spectacular. Thanks for your comment... excuse me if I sound a bit on the defensive. I'm enjoying the colours in your photo-art flower series but as usual feel inadequate to comment.

I likey. It's a delightful park scene. Whether it's the lens, overexposure or over sharpened, when I look at it in pano, the first impression I get is that of a print on canvas. Not a bad thing at all Roger. In fact, there are many UF members who would use a PS filter to achieve the same result. So there ya go! ...

Cheers
Rina

very nice panorama of the park Roger
too bad about slight poor quality of image in the big one, I know it's difficult to get below 400k with the panoramic size
nevertheless, very nice picture

I love the wide angle and view very much. My favorite type of angle. Well done.
