Photo Experiment 1


Local town. pic by DJH (click for larger)

Have been playing around with one of the new toys that came with the Video edit program. It's - yet another - photo manipulation program, but this one has a "create panorama" function.

OK, became a little excited about it (and impatient) - this one isn't perfect, as left the camera on "auto" exposure, so there are some differences in the sky and haven't quite come to grips with "exact match" at the edges - but did use a tripod, so could just swing the camera sideways and not have to worry about "vertical" matching. This pic is a composite of seven.

mm, I try to learn a new thing every day, Jayne.

.. and yes; the whole thing has been considerably reduced for internet transmission.

Australia has waited all this time for panorama photography to do it right, and so you did. Never could get a good landscape shot with just the one click.

Thanks for the memory, Wombat.

mm, Gumby, all i need now is fer australia t throw a couple of mill in my direction and will be very happy to take off around the rest of this vast land making "panoramas" for couch potatoes .. heh.

um, has anyone noticed that the lower line of it looks curved? Optical illusion. Ancient Greeks knew that and designed their long horizontal stairways with a curve. Can't remember which way, now, but thought it interesting.

There are great views from Gundry's Hill. You've done an excellent job.

They did a similar thing davo with their columns, making them a bit fatter at the centre area.

Ah, RH .. first read this comment via email and thought you might have been referring to journalists or bloggers .. buuut, back to real linkings .. yup, clever people them ancient Greeks, pity the Romans took over the thought processes .. heh.

The Romans weren't much for decoration, but the arch was rather clever. They also had hotwater systems, which my family lacked even in the 20th century.
