Pulteney Bridge - Panorama

Gidday,

This is the first panorama I've created from my recent (March 07) trip to the UK.

This is the Pulteney Bridge in Bath, a total 14 shots hand held (Kit Lens @ 18mm).

There is still some work to do on the other side of the river (I had to remove a lot of ghosting with the people walking), I also did a double process in RAW to expose the sky, then mask that in before the stitching in Panorama Factory. Please give feedback / critisism good or bad. I need it.

I have cropped off part of the bottom of the image, there is a little bit more of the weir and the pile of wood in the water (about 200px). I'm not sure if it's needed or not. I do wish I hadn't chopped off the top of the light pole though.

Cheers

Nice work Wocka, I was standing in the same spot or close to it a few weeks ago now, but didn't have the piece of mind to do a pano in that position, great idea! Impressive worth stitching them together.

Warwick,

great pano, it comes out really good. If you do have more for the bottom, I think that would be nice as well as I wanted to see more. I don't mind the cut-off lamp, not much missing anyway.

Cheers,

André

Thanks for the comments guys.

Swinners:
When googling the name I found a dusk shot of the bridge, that was nice.

Craig:
I have the following still to stitch and process from Bath
The Circle - 21 shots
Bath Town from lookout over the city - 13 shots (pity I couldn't wait till sunset, but my 8 month old would wait 4 hours)
Royal Crescent - 17 shots

+ more pano's from my travels around the UK country side.

Radar:
I checked the RAW files and I chopped off the top of the light pole, damn. Shows that a good set-up will stop you missing these things. But when travelling it's hard to take all the gear.

I looked at the non cropped image, the extra 200px at the bottom is just more water and that bunch of tree's. Not too sure it there is a lot there. Maybe more rushing water would be nice.

This is still a work in progress, so I will probably add the water @ the bottom back in.

I like it. A night shot here with a long exposure would be awesome. Nice shot thanks for sharing it.

Wocka - I like this a lot but feel you have cropped off too much at the bottom, I'd like to see more at this end. None the less, very impressive pano work mate.

Here is the full panorama with no crop. You can see the added 200px @ the bottom.

I might try the Lomo Action on this image, see how that turns out?
