Panoramas

In the Schnoor district of Bremen. This projection is slightly less distorted in that it looks more natural overall, but the distortion in the church's facade is still a little awkward. The pano software seemed able to correct the facade with funhouse-mirrored surroundings, or correct the surroundings but with a bulged facade, or skew both, but not correct both. Not bad, though, for hand-held source shots. Had I had more than 40 minutes to pack for the trip, I might have remembered to bring my tripod...

Bright, warm, sunny day - perfect for IR. The color on this one is a little off - the source files were RAWs, which turned pink when batch converted using Irfanview instead of ViewNX2. Oops. Also needs some work where the sky is blown out - the source pictures are each fine, but Hugin apparently can't reconcile so many different exposure levels without intervention.

I'm amazed this worked, considering the bad lens and the fact it involved stitching pics of moving water.
