It was originally 11 shots held in vertical mode on a tripod so that I made sure there was plenty of overlap. The original shot not the downsized web version is over 90 mb Some people elsewhere asked if it is an HDR, it certainly isn't the only pp work done was some lightening of the blacks using selective colour in cs3 in order to bring out the texture of the trees and sharpening after downsizing. the camera used was the 20D with a carl zeiss flektogon 35mm manual focus lens at f5.6. The flektogon is a highly regarded lens which although 30 + years old is almost on par with canon's 35mmL. >>> http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~smeegles/Stuff/Shrinea.jpg >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > The flektogon is a highly regarded lens which although 30 + years old is > almost on par with canon's 35mmL.

What I was pointing out was that a flektogon is a Jena lens made in East Germany, as being distinct to a Zeiss lens of the West German company. The WGerman company has a different name range for there models. >>>>>>>> http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~smeegles/Stuff/Shrinea.jpg > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Germany, as being distinct to a Zeiss lens of the West German company. > The WGerman company has a different name range for there models.

Very nice. Please excuse me for being a nosy bugger and asking more questions. :) Does the 20D metering system work with that lens, or did you have to use a separate light meter? I wish I could afford a decent autofocus zoom lens to use with my Nikon D70 that would rival the image quality of the 200m F4 manual lens that I got for free, but I can't afford even a second hand Nikon 80-200 F2.8 which seem to sell for at least $600 these days. I don't have any experience with light meters so I have to take test shots and look at the histogram to judge when I've got the settings right. The 80-200 2.5 AF would make my life a lot easier because IINM it will meter on the D70 body.

RV, melb.general When you get a decent auto stitching program it will "blend" in the exposure. Not all the exposures will be the same in auto anyway. Try this one - Website : http://www.autopano.net it will rotate the image as well to suit the orientation, correct the exposure etc. Sometimes I have found it gets a bit confused and assembles the pan into a horseshoe shape. But you can work it out so the image in horizontal. > When you get a decent auto stitching program it will "blend" in the > exposure.

CS3 photomerge actually is excellent at blending in exposures almost if not better than some of the other stitching programs I've used. I can't wait for the full version of CS3 to come out. |
