    Nice work Robert. I think I prefer the lighter versions mainly because it was the extraordinary light and brightness of the interior that struck me most when I saw your first panorama. All a question of personal taste, I'm sure others will feel differently.

    Thanks Dave..The balance between natural and flood was good on the day, The level was low with speeds of 1/2 Sec which was not ideal.
    I really need a return visit with the tripod and repeat the sequences.

    Hi Woo, just seen this thread and see that you are all having fun here, done a bit of photo stitching recently and see that the real problem is the curvature and sometimes the colour mismatch that comes with it.

    I had a go at trying to straighten this one out as it was such a good panorama:

    You guys haven't mentioned it ... but I have a Panorama setting on my camera (a Canon thingie). It holds the shutter/aperture settings so that I get consistent exposure (usual thing of choosing the most appropriate initial shot with a half-squeeze of the shutter button).

    If you've never noticed it might be worth checking in case your camera has it too!

    It also shows me a portion of the previous shot in the viewfinder so that I can line up, and overlap, subsequent shots as appropriate.

    Oh, and it downloads each panorama set to a separate sub-folder, making it easier to know which ones were intended to be stitched back together!

    Panorama of the front hedge showing newly planted Beech and topiary Yew with rubbish herbaceous stuff left over in front (now lifted and transplanted ... if it wasn't so misty I'd go any take an "after" for comparison).

    4 original images were sacrificed in the making of this panoramic image!

    Edit: Added an "even-more-before" image ...
    Edi2t: Added an "even-even-more-before" image ...

    I use the Canon Photostitch software (which allows manual sequencing left-to-right, but that's about it), and also Photomerge in Photoshop Elements (which allows manual positioning in both axis and then auto-nudges to get them spot on)

    Hi capney, again just seen this thread and I would give you full marks for stitching it all together and a great subject.

    I am experimenting with trying to correct the curvature distortion that comes with stitching and saw that this pic is absolutely ideal as there are so many straight lines to work with.

    This is certainly no improvement but I think a useful exercise in curvature correction if this is the aim. I had to work from your separate originals but of course not the original resolution so please excuse the quality.
