We've all heard about this, yet few seem to have actually done it. :wink

This was my first (successful) vertical pano using the Marc-and-Andy-made-famous 24mm tilt-shift lens. It's a cool trick made even cooler once you do it yourself. Sure you can use a wide angle and then just crop a square into it but that's not as much work... er, I mean fun. :D

Feedback appreciated! Thanks

    Wow thanks ziggy. Your response is unexpected (but welcome!) :D

    Andrew, I have a TON of panos like this to go through and I will eventually go through them and post them. I just have to pick which ones in which I didn't mess up the composition. I found it was a little hard for me to "see" my photo before shooting it, hence things ended up being a little off.

    Great Shmoo! I'm getting sick of my 14"x42" panos. Who could possibly hang that on their wall. I think I may be testing out a T/S soon. Did you do any multi row panos like this? I am assuming this is two images.

    Thanks Nick and Sid! Shay's 10x4 ratio not work for you either? :D

    I actually did take at least one 6-shot pano (two parallel rows of three) but I haven't had the time to work on them yet. Scratch that - I might have had the time but it's hard for me to sort out which shots they are from my mess of 98273478623467234 other sunrise shots that same morning. :bluduh

    I'll get to it though, and post them.

    I love the expanse of this shot. I do feel a hump in the middle of the river though; is the river flowing towards me or away from me? Sort of a knotts berry-ish feel. The shot is beautiful, thanks for sharing.

    Very beautiful! I love the colors and the expansive feel this type of pano provides. It sure is fun to see what all people are putting together after the Glacier trip!

    That's all Mom Nature, big g! I just pushed the button. :D

    Leaforte you bring up a good point. I think the river was flowing away from me but it was windy and cold and I didn't get too close to the edge of the gorge there.

    It's a pain when someone is around documenting everything. I guess it depends upon one's definition of too close now doesn't it. But it looks as though the front leg of the tripod could not go much furthermwink.gif

    Good catch.

    Yeah, those damn photographers shooting photos and stuff. Geeze!

    I agree, it depends on the definition of "close." I could have gone down further than that rock but I wasn't feelin' it so I stayed there. The path led right up to it, meaning that it wasn't risky enough. ;)
