My First Panoramic

[DannyB]

Although its not some spectacular scenery, I wanted to give it a shot. This is made frome 5 shots of the plane using Gimp for editing. I am very new to editing (and new to the camera for that fact) so still trying to make everything blend in just right but what do you all think so far? Feel free to speak your mind!

Looks great! Can't see (without my glasses) any seams at all.....

Nice job on the Pano of the Citation! Looks like the stitching worked well.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I used a Gimp plugin which got it somewhat close. Just had to zoom in and fine tune the seams. Anyone know large I might be able to get this? I had it printed today as a 4x10 but I'd like a bigger print. I took it with my D50(6.1 Mp). Just wondering how large I could go before I start to see lack of quality.

Wow, I think that looks great. Nice job fixing up the seams. What was the resolution of the final image?

Nice work on the seems. Looks really good. What tool in GIMP did you use to do the blending of the seams?

I used this write up http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7295 and this plug-in with Gimp... http://shallowsky.com/software/pandora/ Simple to install. Once I got everything in order it just took a few minutes of playing around to get everything together.

I gotta say, excellent shot! The only thing I could think of offhand that would make it better would be if it was done at night, with rather long exposures, and the jet was powered up and had the beacon and nav lights blinking. I'm a huge aviation buff, with a particular interest in the smaller jets just like this one, so I am digging this!

I got some shots of the Citation X the other night. Just havent had the time to play with it yet.

Here is another I put together from 5 shots as well. I am still working on a few spots in this pic. I know this scene could also be captured using a wide angle but this gives me some practice

wow I would never think that was seemed together. Looks great and would fool me if it was framed. Great Job.

Thanks!! I have a few of frames on the way, should be here this week. I want to get it as big as possible without losing quality.
