Amboise

Afternoon all

Here's a pano I did at Amboise, which is just down the road from where I live in Tours.

Didn't have a lot of time as I was taking my gran and mum there to show it to them on their last day of holidays.

The wide angle meant that stitching it together was interesting. One photo had to be left out as it sent it nuts in Photoshop.

I really must do a sunrise or set here as I think it could be gorgeous.

Beautiful shot Jools ,the location looks stunning and I love the sky.

The only down side for me is that the file size is to small to see the image in it's full glory .

Thanks Mark.

The thing that bothers me is the bridge is nearly smack bang in the middle. I just couldn't get PS to stitch everything together.

But that sky. It's gorgeous

Have a look at the Chenonceau one for a more demonic sky

Like the shot, really nice composition. I don't mean to cause an argument, but again the horizon looks slanted. See below:



Red is actual horizon, green is level.

Interesting.

I looked at this back in Lightroom. If I run the levelling tool across the "horizon" then there is a massive shift. However, it then makes all the buildings lop sided.

If I keep it as it is and look at the top of the chateau, it's pretty much bang on!

Would hazard a guess that lens distortion coupled with the merging process has introduced some irregularities.

*Edit.

Just played with one of the regular images I took. The horizon is straight. It is an illusion caused by the camera angle and the camera being pointed slightly upwards. Some tilt and shifting is all that is required in this case.
