public esteem is so attached to worth, regardless of wealth."
Thomas Jefferson November 27, 1793

As I look around what was his country I see a certain and definable difference. Current culture is rife with misplaced esteem based on anything but worth or value of character.

Panorama FAIL

A failed panorama. Horrible, isn't it?

8 shots were taken, and only 4 were used. Using more images didn't improve the fit any. However, the camera strap in each shot was pretty obvious - how did I not see that when I made the series? Well, it is hard to see the LCD in bright sun!

The difference in exposure between the left and right in the clouds and trees is too much. So, I have not finished this panorama, and have no intention on finishing it. This is it. It's all you get. Maybe you can learn from my failure.

- Olympus TG-810 point and shoot camera
- 8 shots, 4 used.
- Exposure held between shots by not fully releasing the shutter button.
- Aligned in CS5
- Each image shot in portrait.

Throughout the peasantry, surges the breakdown.

It is so hard to give a panorama its deserved appreciation on flickr. I think flickr really needs to bring a nice pano viewer to these pages. We can play video, so how about a good pano viewer? Hello, anyone in here?

- 14 images stitched together in CS5
- 17-55mm Canon lens
- each image made in portrait orientation
- handheld, no support
- shot from just inside the fence

Of course, these places do not allow photography or video inside the mansions. For preservation. Yeah, right. Total bullshit of course, but then again, how many ignorant idiots and ordinary dumbasses don't know how to turn off the flash on their camera? Yes, all of them it would seem.

Note this image is much longer than the front image, even though both were made using the same number of photos. The pano of the front was cropped more and I made it with more overlap of each exposure because of the greater distortion.

Panorama of The Breakers mansion, in Newport, RI.

- 14 images stitched together in CS5
- 17-55mm Canon lens
- each image made in portrait orientation
- handheld, no support
- sky unedited, only edited the rest of the image for contrast etc

Looks a lot like a fish eye shot, wider than the 17mm used on a Canon 40D. At 17mm, where I was able to stand, the whole house wasn't even close to being in frame.
