Pflickr Panoramic Photo Pfun


Austin panorama

Thanks to a recent unexpected gift from Brian Mitchell, I now have a flickr pro account to play with. I just posted my first photo, a panoramic view of the Austin skyline, made with AutoStitch. AutoStitch is a new program that simplifies the process of making panoramic composits by automatically piecing together multiple shots.

I’ve been interested in panoramic photography ever since I saw an exhibit of old black and white panoramic photos made by a camera that litterally panned as it exposed the film. One of the shots included the same clown twice because he was able to run behind the camera to the other side of the shot before the camera finished it’s pan.

One of my all-time favorite photos is a panoramic shot of the Austin skyline from 1910, on the Library of Congress website.
