17 Shots with 100mm f2 Contax
Holy 3-d pop Batman! Love it. I'm looking gonna be in the market for an 85mm F1.4, or 100mm F2. because of these types of images......

Images 6 and 7 from this set are single shots from the 100 f2. I think it shows that you do not have to stitch to get some nice depth to photos using that lens.

You have some great shots there R....But I wish you would put what lens you used for each one next to each photo...Surely they are'nt all from the 100 f2?

Thanks Alf. If you mean my site I prefer to keep it clean without text. No they are not all from the 100, I also use the 35 1.4 Contax and the 58 1.2 rokkor

Contax Yashica Zeiss 85/1.4 @ f1.4, portrait perspective 22 item stitch from MS ICE.
Freaky, the background looks totally fake to me.

These do not house the great DOF effects found on many images here, but it was a first try to use R.Youngs "random" 20+ images stitches. Though they dont carry much articstic value PS did it more or less automatically with no manual intervention. So hereäs two shots from yesterday. PS needed some 40 min to drag 21 and 25 images together on these two examples - and as such I think it'sworh showing. Handheld, Contax G 45 with a bit too random shots covering each scene. But the resolutions is quite amazing. Here are wideopen shots (45 F/2). Boring sky this day.

Hahaha! Amazing first attempts! (I say attempt, but you have it nailed already)
Love the first one, the colours and feeling of space are great. Well done!
The second feels as though it is leaning a little to the right, could this be pulled back over a bit?

I've noticed that foreground reflections of the in-focus parts of the scene really help these types of panos pop. In the first of your shots, the window on the left really adds to the scene, might be something to develop next time?

Wilhelm -- Awesome work! Great color and detail. Sorry it is taking so long to process, but the results seem worth it. Looking forward to more!

Thanks so much Young and Gunzorro. Yep the building leans a bit too much - going to think about that.
And nice again Young! Lots of 3D in that stone. A tiny bit of air to the right would improve the comp though but this is art for me regardless. Squares work really well in this context. A context which I would call beyond-medium-format :-)

Yeah, pretty much every time I do a pano I always wish I'd expanded the view out in all directions a little just to give more options to crop in post. But anyway, these were all holiday snaps so nothing I can do about it now!

That stone shot is awesome! Can't you use Photoshop Content-Aware Fill to add right edge space?

Haha, content aware has given up on me now, I don't think it enjoys trying to fill in 1/4 of my photos...

Again, 100 f2, around 15-20 shots

+1 Indeed. Pretty interesting with the focal plane movement if one thinks a little bit about that. Plenty of images with a (compared to the full image) small and quite thin focal plane. Combining these small with different angels from the center means produces a small section of a sphere. It becomes a much-more-than-normally bent focal plane. When you do this right, like here, it's a subtle exploitable effect. But in a 180degree panorama it just looks bad.
E.g. check the droplets in the water in the image' lower right side, they appear to be much more in focus than e.g. the water to the right and below the sharp branches of the tree.

Thanks Carsten and wfrank
Yes you're right, the field curvature will be more pronounced than a single shot.

Some more handheld panos from another picturesque local Cemetery...This time from the Nikon 105mm f2.5 Ai-S, a lens I dont use very often because its equivalent to a 180mm lens on my SD14...All @ f2.5:

Still learning and this is only my second try with Panoramas, but this is a river birch in my backyard. It was taken with 24 shots, an E-PL2, and the PL25 1.4 at f2.0 and handheld. Feel free to express your opinions or give advice.
