Off to Spain! (and finally some decent software for stitching panoramas)
Hi,
I'm off to Spain for ten days on Sunday, after Tim and Alex's wedding on Saturday. I have spent quite some time planning the itinerary for the tour of Andalusia. We will go to Malaga, Ronda, Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains. There are lots of palaces, mosques, forts, and ruins to explore so it should be great. It will also be a chance to practice the Spanish I have been learning for the last two years...
One good thing about taking photos this holiday is that I will no longer have to worry about taking panoramas and never finding the time to stitch them. In the past I have complained about the failings of stitching software, such as that included in adobe photoshop (which produced the panorama above). You have to align the images manually, the joins are obvious, and sometimes it fails altogether. Well I'm really pleased to have found autostitch. You just tell the software which files to turn into a panorama and it arranges them all for you and assembles them in a really good seamless panorama. No human intervention at all. Great stuff, as you can see from the panorama below taken in Mount Cook National Park -
OK, must finish packing and then go to bed. I'll try to write a little bit during my travels if I can.
