Blacktop's 366 day trip through 2016

[480sparky]

Thanks. Going to try this method. On some shots like architecture I actually like the "bow distortion" effect but not on landscapes.
Also I found that most times PS does a better job at stitching, but MS-ICE does a better job at filling in parts.
@480sparky mentioned before that he uses a dedicated pano program, and I can't remember what it was now.

AutoPano Giga.

Thank you my good man!:teapot: (I'm having a nice hot cup of tea, hence the teapot smiley)

Oh fess up...we know that teapot is filled with booze. I used to work with an employee who would fill soda cans with booze and drink while at work. And she thought no one knew.

I couldn't drink booze even if I wanted to. I would be drinking gallons of Mylanta and popping Tums all night if I had a few shots of Jack

Day 15

We have some wood and copper knick knacks hanging on the bathroom wall. Took the wagon wheel shot and used the "twirl" tool in PS, then took the cowboy shot, selected out the cowboy from the background and blended it in with the twirl. Pretty simple really.

That is very cool!

That would look cool with a full moon and some stars twirled around it, do you do requests Pete? Lol

If I had a full moon and stars to shoot, I wouldn't be twirling knick knacks around from the bathroom wall.

I hope this clears soon or is going too be tough at the lake.

That is what we had yesterday. Looks nice out today and we'll be heading out the door soon.

Day 16

Today is BIF. I really like these brownish tan looking gulls.
Also learned today that sometimes 300mm is too much for BIF. I'm so used to shooting BIF or just birds in general at full zoom, that I forgot that I can actually zoom out a bit if I need to.:cower:
Clipped the wings, but you live and learn.

 

[Roy1961]

@Blacktop 300 is only too much when they are close to you

And they were.

Still a nice Gull shot.

Day 17

Night shot over the Tennessee River in Chattanooga.

 

[Roy1961]

very nice Pete, like the colors

Thanks Roy! Good thing you didn't see the RAW file..LOL

 

[cwgrizz]

Very nice shot of the Tennessee River bridge. Also, on the gull shot, aren't you glad you were shooting with the 750 and not the 7100? You might have gotten a wingless bird. Ha!
