Shooting multi-image panos of scenes containing moving objects is relatively easy and practical so long as you are aware of the potential issues and remedies. Shots of the shoreline with breaking water often stitch seamlessly without intervention, the trick is to time the shutter release such that the waves are breaking at a similar location shot to shot. The flow of water in a fall often seems to have sufficient randomness that rarely are automated stitches visible though in all these cases moving elements can be mistaken by the software as inter-image key points which can cause problems. In shots containing moving elements such as people, animals, vehicles etc sometimes fully automated stitching creates monstrosities so using a package that generates multiple layered shots for manual blending is often advisable. There are a few ways that you can make things easier too. For instance shoot the scene two or three times so that you have frames with differing moving content in case you need to delete problem element and consider what direction of camera rotation would be best relative to the direction of the flow of the moving elements. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/BigVdub/test.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/BigVdub/Pics/pano016.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/BigVdub/Pics/pano_283.jpg -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
