I recently upgraded my flickr to a pro account which has inspired me to backup all the old photos I took with my Canon S3IS. While doing so I stumbled across some panoramas I took during my vacation last year but never stitched together so I decided to try and find a way to develop them.
When I first saw them I had forgotten that they were part of a panorama, because by themselves the shots weren’t very remarkable. When I tried to manually stitch them together in photoshop I found them to be misaligned. Thankfully CS3 has a feature that automates the merging of pictures. You basically give it a list of photos and it will try to create a panorama out of them.
Here are results:
I also used the opportunity to learn how to do some PP in Lightroom. You can do surprisingly a lot even with jpegs in Lightroom. Most of the shots had over exposed skies, but I was able to recover the details. These turned out to be some of my favorite shots from my vacation and I wasn’t even aware I had taken them.
