Artist's Comments

Tonight I began stitching and it took hell of a time. This panorama was different from my other ones because it was taken with focal length of 10mm. (equivalent to 15,2mm on Leica format)

Now, usually, if you want your panorama stitching to be nice and easy, instead of staying up awake until 4:07 AM (yes, that's what I'm reading just now on my clock), you should take your pictures at focal lengths higher than 18mm (28mm Leica). Smaller angles result in great distorsions, very visible vigneting and issues with focus (the further the you look from the center of the image, the more the details go out of the focus, unless you shoot with very closed aperture). So there was a lot of stretching, warping and selective brightening here to be done. I hope I left no visible stitching marks.

It took time, but I am more than satisfied with the final result, especially when you consider the fact that I forgot my tripod in my car and had to shoot this one by holding my camera in my hand and counting degrees by eye.

The city you see here is Doboj, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The point I shot this from is located on top of the old fortress above the city.
This panorama is FULL 360 degrees.

And I have to thank one lovely lady for being my guide in this city and showing me this place. It's my friend :iconstardustinmyeyes:
Now please go visit her gallery and say hi :)

Your photos always make me miss Bosna. I want to go back and see it again so bad.

Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason.

Hi Ville, Nice work, but I can see "stitching marks" as you wrote, in the sky especialy. For instance, on both sides of your friend. Its really hard to assemble such images, and you did it really properly if we concider you didn't use tripod and used your 10mm.

Nice job, and intresting point of view to discover this town.

Oh, that? That's what you usually get for having an lens with strong vignetting. But those are pretty large areas and mostly it's a hard job to correct them without compromising the look of your image. Maybe I'll try to correct that these days too. Stitching marks are usually smaller and can be noticed as ghost images of objects, appearing twice or having two borders on some places. They are result of bad blending or warping of images before putting them one over the other. :)

ah ok (my bad grammar) so no stitching you did a great job, only the sky due to vignetting is appearing, but this will be easy to remove :)
Nice Job anyhow.
