For a while I have been wanting to get a tool that will let me create panoramic pictures from a group of other photos. So obviously the first step was to go onto Google and see what you could get for free. The one I tried first was PTGui, and was free (almost), but it needed way too much human intervention. And I could never get a descent picture to come out of it. I'm sure that it works well, but all the pictures I created looked like they had had an extra dimension added. Then I found PanoramaFactory and whis was much more what I was looking for. Get a bunch of pictures, put them in the right order and then let it do its thing. And this was the result
Now thats what I'm looking for. This picture is made up from 3 pictures. This ease of use comes at a price though and I will have to see if I want panoramic pictures that much.
This picture, by the way, is from the top of our local water tower. These things sprout up like giant mushrooms all over the place. I never knew you could climb up inside them before this. Cool!
Update:
Here are some panoramic pictures from different parts of Scotland. Nice. Feeling homesick already...
