Photographs Panoramic of Atlantis

[stovebolts]

I have to love my new droid! It automatically stitched three pictures for me and made this cool panoramic of Atlantis when we were there last month on vacation.

I really liked the tug boat on the left, I think it adds character!

Cool!
Isn't the smaller animal a goat?

And how did you just do that?

Nice shot. Cell phone cameras are getting better and better.

I hope you don't mind, I was so impressed by that image out of the camera, I had to see what a bit of tweaking would do for it.

I think you got one in the "wow" category, here.

Cool barb! I liked what u did to it. I thought it was a neat picture and the tug gave it that cool factor.

I have a motorola droid 3 and discovered the ability to take pictures like this only moments before taking this one. Its hard to explain, but its a simple feature. Point and click, move over, click, move over and click again and it automatically stitches it! I found it goofs up if you try to stitch more than 3 pictures, but one day when I'm bored ill play with it.

Jason, that was taken at port. Just behind me were 3 cruise ships. Ill post tomorrow, lol and you'll see what the camara did trying to stitch 4 pictures.

Mostly just straightened it a bit, sharpened, and tone-mapped to get the best exposure overall.

The tug is exactly what makes it work. It violates some rules of formal composition, but that's exactly the charm. Many of the truly great images by masters of photography break the rules, and are better for it.

BTW, you can take your single images and run them through Microsoft ICE to patch as many together as you'd like. It's freeware, and easy to use. Get it here:

You could do a 360, and stack vertically as well as horizontally, if you wanted.
Give it a try.
