[andrecoxa]

Great work!

now with CS5, it's easier!

I don't think any one quite understands how difficult this is... Great job from a fellow photographer!

wow that was amazing..i wish u could do a tutorial.

[jpodjpod]

pretty amazing... if you dont mind could you fill me in on a few questions regarding this process? what focal length what used for this scene? how do you compensate for image parallax issues, even if your shooting on a tripod pivoting on the lens' nodal point the helicopter moving ever so slightly will throw it off id imagine? any less obvious tips on multi panoramas would be awesome... nice work man keep it up

55mm focal length. There is no tripod. Its all hand held. I compensate for parralex by cutting up individual builings and pieces of the picture. watch the video and you can see how i do it.

Wow very nice!

i was hoping for tutorial :-(

[koz303303]

cool i have to try that thanks

[weensie562]

Ahaha, that must of taken you at least 3 hours. Give me those pictures and it'll be done in 3 minutes.

[taosupremo]

i am willing to let you try that. not 1 pair of these photos are shot from the exact same angle. impossible for a computer to do.

[weensie562]

What are you talking about. I take Panoramic photos all the time without a tripod, and they come out amazing. I could absolutely do what took you four days, in ten minutes.

stop showing off, no one cares

@weensie562

Try to show some respect to a person and his work...

[sharquteri]

Good job, where the photos taken from? Helicopter?

[taosupremo]

yes they where shot from a small chopper

[turxxx]

Huh?! I don't understand. How was that panorama built using Photoshop?

[taosupremo]

Stitching and blending. What you are seeing are screenshots put into a sequence.

Very impressive! The diversity of Photoshop shocks me. I bought CS3 the other day. I'm still learning the basics.
