Stitching Panorama,
HDR Photo Gallery

Cool stitching panorama HDR photos including the panoramic hills in the area of Sussex New Brunswick Canada are seen on this page.



If your camera bag does not contain a panoramic lens, don't fret, you can still achieve a photo panorama with a series of pics and stitching software like Adobe Photoshop CS3 and CS4.

The CS3 and CS4 versions boast a strong Photomerge function - so amazing that I dare you to find the seams!

For this stitching panorama of Mechanic Lake, which is on the way to Fundy National Park, I shot 36 vertical images (12 sets of three bracketed exposures apiece). The 12 HDRs were then loaded into Photoshop's Photomerge.

In Photomerge, you have five layout choices: Auto, Perspective, Cylindrical, Reposition Only, Interactive Layout. For this example I chose Cylindrical.

The result will not have four straight sides so you will need to crop out the unwanted areas.

And the finished product...

A good example of panoramic hills.

No, we don't farm dandelions!
