Faux pano of Live Oak Tree

[theantiquetiger]

I found a program, Hugins, and used it to make this pano. What do you think?



Color

looks cool. is it easy to use.

interesting ... it seems to suck things out of thin air ....

@Belliveau - very simple, just select images, the program maps the images and stitches them.

@Matt K - this was made from five images.

It did lose some sharpness in the tree due to the compression

Here are the five images Hugins made the pano from:

Ahhhh, well that makes much more sense to me now ... I am using PTGUI myself, and I find it pretty good at stitching things together ... but this seems to work quite well also

That program does seem to do a good job.
As you indicate you are open to a little critique ... A couple of things that bothered me a bit with the composition is
- I find it cropped just a little too tight at the bottom. I would like a little space between the lowest part of the tree and the bottom of the picture
- I find the tree and driveway maybe a litle too centered. (very minor and maybe I'm wrong on this one)

As you can see in the 5 original images I posted a couple post back, there is a road at the bottom of the image, so I cropped it as close to the road as possible, thats why the bottom is cropped in tighter.

As for the software, it works seamlessly and VERY simple to use. all I did was select the images, it stitched them.

I know this program.It is not so good like others but did decent work.I talk about quality of results.What will happen if you take images where scene not have the same light.For example one side is sunny and other have dark clouds and shadow.With this program you will get noticeable different exposure area.This is my experiences with this program.So long you have sun behind you is okay.
If you like to have more high panorama take in portraits format. It is also very important how you prepare photos before stitching.
