San Luis Reservoir

I didn’t think Hugin would be able to handle stitching this scene together…  It’s 3 images with the rightmost one basically shot directly into the sun.  It came together pretty good though, the sky looks like one uniform gradient.  I took these 3 photos on my way from San Francisco to King’s Canyon National Park in June, 2008.  I thought “lake” looked nice so I took some photos.  Given where I was and the time of day there wasn’t really any way to avoid shooting into the sun.

Half Dome from Glacier Point (Bad)

This picture was stitched together from just 3 images taken from Glacier Point in Yosemite.  I discovered the “Drag” option in Hugin.  It lets you grab a point on the image and kind of move it around.  It’s pretty weird.  Even better, [...]]]>

Half Dome from Glacier Point

Half Dome from Glacier Point (Bad)

This picture was stitched together from just 3 images taken from Glacier Point in Yosemite.  I discovered the “Drag” option in Hugin.  It lets you grab a point on the image and kind of move it around.  It’s pretty weird.  Even better, the “Straighten” option automatically adjusts the images so that the horizon is level.  The top image was adjusted with the “Straighten” option, the bottom image wasn’t and has a tilted horizon on the left.  Pretty neat!

Hetch Hetchy

This one spans 4 individual images.  Would be nicer if I had the top of the mountains…

Hetch Hetchy 2

Edit: Ah, here’s another one taken from a different vantage point.  This is 3 images stitched together.

Another stitched image, this one from Yosemite.  The right side seems to me like it’s a tad lower than it should be, but it’s hard to say.

Yosemite (Adjusted)

Edit: Adjusted the image a bit, looks a tad better on the right I think.  The difference is pretty minor…

I actually finished putting these up a few months ago.  I never did go through them all again and make sure I gave everything a title and described what I wanted describe, but it’s done enough I guess.

I finally finished putting up photos from my trip 2 weeks ago.  Most of them turned out better than I expected – everything looks worse than it really is on a laptop.  Some of my pictures from Zion didn’t come out too good though, mostly due to being taken in bright [...]]]>

Zion National Park

I finally finished putting up photos from my trip 2 weeks ago.  Most of them turned out better than I expected – everything looks worse than it really is on a laptop.  Some of my pictures from Zion didn’t come out too good though, mostly due to being taken in bright sunlight.  Since Zion NP is basically at the bottom of a canyon, there’s alot of shadows.  Also in harsh sunlight, it’s hard to see the LCD screen of my camera so it’s hard to tell exactly how the photo looks.  One nice thing about the Canon S3 that I had a few years ago is that it has a electronic viewfinder that you can use to view your photos.  This is nice since sunlight can’t get into the viewfinder.

This time around, I didn’t try too hard to name my photos or give each a description.  Usually the names I choose aren’t too creative anyway
