Playing with panoramas…

Here’s something that’s kind of cool…I’ve kind of rediscovered the panorama feature in Photoshop…you know, you can take a series of horizontal photos and then use Photoshop to stitch them together.

For starters, these are the photos that I stitched together…

Photoshop has a merge feature that lines up the photos and puts them together. Here’s what you get…

I didn’t crop all the excess out of this one because it gives a sense of how what you see consists of more than one photo.   Based on the sun’s position, I positioned myself to not let my shadow get in the photo of the bike, but in the panorama, you can get an idea of where I was.

I stuck the panorama photo in the blog at a fairly large size…you probably won’t be able to see all of it in the blog (depending on what appears to the right of this text), but if you click on the photo, it should open up in a new page in a larger display.

We’re having some really nice weather today, so I may celebrate the end of 2013 with a Baja Blaster ride later.   If I do, I’ll post more photos.

Ride safe and be careful if you’re on the road tonight!
