Au pont St. Martin Photo

Photographer’s Note

Second of three attempts I made during my last trip to obtain panoramic images.
I hope this is better than the previous one.
The image was taken from Saint Martin bridge, with a view on the part of the town called "Little France".
I also posted the large version.

PLEASE NOTE the curious effect of the two girls walking on the right, because of the multiple shots they were multiplied three times ;)

Good morning Giorgio!
This one simply is wonderful. So many details are to be detected in the large version, especially because of the excellent quality of the photo! I like ths one very much! The contrast between the sunlit parts and shadows here is somehow intriguing. Great!
Greetings from sunny Germany - and have a nice Sunday!

Questa la preferisco all'altra: è meglio esposta e grazie al canale ha un senso della profondità e dello spazio molto maggiore dell'altra. Qui gioca anche l'attrattiva di queste belle case di Strasburgo. Un ottimo lavoro,
Donato

Hi Giorgio,

You prommised a new and better version and this one sure is. A minimum on the distortion and although in the previous one the light was much better, it's here the stitching what is 100% better than the Swiss photo.
Funny aspect with the three people walking there ;-)

Regards,

Henk

Giorgio,
This is a fantastic large post! The architecture is outstanding and you have presented beautifully. The stitch job is great and I like the effect of the walkers on the right. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and DOF. The canal leads the eye into the shot nicely giving the shot a good sense of direction.
TFS,
Asa

Hola Giorgio

Esto si que es una buena imagen y bien tratada, a veces no es la foto en si, sino la intención que tiene uno de hacerla y como quiere que quede.
No siempre se consigue.
Buenas imagenes totales.

Un saludo Antonio

Ciao Giorgio,
una foto da gustare nella versinoe large, si parte da una zona ben illuminata fino ad arrivare all'ombra, vedendo un infinita di particolari, comunque se perdevi una mezz'ora in piu' clonavi le antenne, ci potevi fare anche un poster.

Ciao Giorgio,
con un grandangolo da 10 mm dovrebbero bastare due o tre scatti praticamente per ogni stitching. PTGui non e' proprio amichevolissimo, ma permette di ottenere dei risultati davvero splendidi, come questo.
Per eliminare le persone doppie, basta produrre in uscita un file photoshop PSD che contiene sia i layer che il merge e poi "cancellare i doppioni" scegliendo di prenderli da uno solo dei layer. Sembra ostrogoto, ma qui e' spiegato molto bene.

Tecnicismi a parte la foto e' gradevole perche' le inevitabili distorsioni non disturbano affatto grazie alla diversa distanza dei principali soggetti.

A parte questo, i migliori stitch che ho visto su TE mi sembrano quelli di Stefano Cerioni, tra cui il magnifico Isola Tiberina.

A presto,
Dario.

Hi Girogio,
Much better pano than the one before. There are less pixelations, and it is more clear.
I notice that you shoot with Sigma 10-20mm. This is too wide, in my opinion, for a pano. The pano should be taken with photos that have the least distortion as possible, so around 50mm should be the ideal focal length.
I have having my own problems with stitching, and I research among the fantastic photos posted here in TE.
cheers
Jorge
