Snowy Hills near Tonopah

Not a serious picture for me but I was out playing with the D200 earlier today. 17 images stitched for this. I don't have a fancy stitching program. Is there a good free one? I did use a tripod. I rotated over the tripod mount on the Nikon 300mm F4AF

looks good to me! not that i'm surgically disecting the image ... i don't see any ridgelines that are off, i don't see any differences in exposures with the individual images stitched together. the only thing that i would do is maybe put a warming filter on it, to negate the cold temperature blues.(unless that's what you intend for the photo to add emphasis).

which program did you use?

Jim,

I see bigfoot is there in the snowfield 2 inches from the left edge! I too have not as yet discovered what's wrong with the picture. No hills are duplicated, I have not found any smudges or seams, however, I'll report back when I have I project it on the wall of my house.

The scene well done and I do like the sharp way the mountain range and snow covering is rendered each part with a different pattern. The sky with blues and pinks is evenly illuminated. Did you use manual exposure?

This scene is nice in itself as an art print, pehaps. I think it's worth money as a background for a commercial, as one could track all the way along that scene and you have detail to spare for any zooming in. I'm not sure how this sort of material sells but I love it! It could also make a great mural with added skiers and dogs for a hotel or ski lodge.

hi Jim,

Here you have an enchanting image.

The parallax problem appears only in the case of very near objects; one cannot see behind an obstacle without deforming both it and the background.

I suppose I don't interfere with any of the copyright and paternity rights if I post a version of this image where the Angels may have a place to be. I think the pink comes mainly from the jpg compression; changed a little the cyan and the magenta.

Hi Jim,

Try Hugin. There is a learning curve if you want to use all of the capabilities, but there are built-in 'wizards' in Hugin to get you started.

Thanks all. My monitor did not pick up any pink but that doesn't surprise me if it's there. A little work flow, yes all manual exposure and focus with about 20 percent overlap. I just used photomerge in CS3 and managed to get the right 9 to marry up. Then I had to join 2 more sections of 4 manually. The abominable was a raven about half mile away. They are abominable too. It certainly renders my old #10 Cirkut camera obsolete.
