Panorama





I decided to head out to Saint Anthony for my panoramic. I found this cool bridge and decided to get a bunch of shots of it and of the river next to it. I used a monopod to keep the camera steady and took a bunch of shots. I ended up merging 13 shots for this very wide panoramic. I really like what Photoshop did to merge these photos with the panoramic photo merge tool but the downfall is that the photo is so darn wide but the height is so small. It makes looking at this photo very difficult unless you have a really big monitor. I flattened the image and then cropped it. I then adjusted the levels to make the photo have a little more vibrance and contrast. I added some canvas to the bottom with a black background and the Saint Anthony caption. I added a smart filter and a vignette I made two versions of the photo: a 800 pixel wide version and a 3200 pixel wide version. The larger size has a lot more definition so I like that one the best.

  1. Wow great job! That is a lot of pictures to merge together! I really like the scene and I like the edits you did to make the picture really stand out.
