About After some time on Usefilm I am starting to sell this photograph of Kansas City.

To prepare it for the "big time" I removed some vinettes through extensive use of clone and healing brush in PS, followed by gaussian blur and add noise to smooth out some patches.

Also applied levels on a gradient, saturation, and went into where the buildings meet the sky for a pixel by pixel removal of a seam line that appeared after scaling up to 150 dpi at 30 inches by 20 inches final print.

Composite Panoramic of multiple images, composited in Arcsoft Panoramic Maker and finished up in Photoshop.

good pic looks like a model village


Michael Millam   {K:2704} 2/1/2005
very cool colors your panorama did great. The composition is good. I only wish that flag pole wasnt there it is distracting to me.


Eric Bumgarner   {K:1143} 2/1/2005
My first reaction to this shot was that the buildings were on fire. I can now see that they are basked in a wonderful and extremely warm light. It seems like a beatiful day after a storm, a calm, damp yet warm feeling. The image gives me a bit of a metaphoric meaning with the storm passing and the warm light casting over the city and a small rainbow pressing an eagerness for a new day.

Great shot!
Eric

The sky is even more dramatic as compared to the former version. I see no seams, perfect work. To demonstrate the detail in this mosaic pano I would suggest to post the crop with the clock - must be an awesome print.

Great job! The sky is really good and your photoshop skill is good as well. you have done a wonderful job.

Best regard Joe!

Carsten:

This print is not as detailed as the other version. There is some blurring from upscaling to the 20" by 30" which is evident in this detail. You can see that it is fuzzing out.

In the other Union Station you can make out the time off the clock. In this version it's a little fuzzy at best.

Saleable. How many shots made up this final print Michael? Also, how much do you sell something like this for? If you don't want to disclose here, please contact me. This might be your best composite shot. Right now, though somewhat surreal, it's still perfectly balanced and doesn't cry photoshop. You made Kansas City look cool, now thats saying something. :)

Taran:

I think after the cropping down there are probably four or five shots in here, taken in landscape orientation. The other more detailed shot was taken with a portrait orientation and was probably seven or eight (there is a quarter overlap on either side, so you really only get about half the shot as a result).

Usefilm really isn't about selling, but if you are really interested you can e-mail me at mkanemoto at gmail dot com. I can give you the web site for this image, or you can buy the other version from me. Different pricing, and depends on framing, etc.

I don't know if anybody else noticed but even the front yard seems to have been perfectly mowed. Congratulations Michael. Your KC pictures are amazing.

Lot od detail and a lot of work...best of luck with the sale. Maybe get rid of the flagpole in the foreground?

Well done

Manu
