    Thanks Dave,
    Yes, a block wall. The bikes were up on a loading dock, the lights were some streetlights in the background.

      Quite a view. Good picture.
      Usally dont see a river over that distance, because, well, is down in IN a canyon.

      Certainly got a good perspective, and good lighting, at a good time of day. Well light, but no shadows.

        Ah, The Dorkburger lerking around the old industrial part of town at night - again. (I recall other of your pics that fit that description)

        In this pics, I would have not thought street light, since the light source seems to be at about the same elevation as the bikes and the wall. (but, yah, NewJersey has stuff I am not accustomed to hee hee hee)

          Thanks Glen. Just started playing with stitched panoramas a while ago. I see your point on the second picture, a strong foreground seems to add depth to a panorama that otherwise might seem a little flat. Definitely something to consider where possible when setting up a shot.

            Included was a large number of Haystack paintings, along with so much other goodness.
            When you see several at once, it is incredible. I sat in that room, with haystacks all around me, for a couple hours.

            Visiting Monet's Gardens, is very, very high on my bucket list.

            Thank you.
            We were lucky to see an exhibition of his work in The Orangerie in Paris a decade ago at least.
            My artist wife here is telling me he did a Notre Dame series also.

              Yours look great.
              Are you using the in-camera stitching, or doing it with software out of camera?

                The Olympus I have doesn't do in camera stitching but guides you through the shooting stage and you assemble it in their software. It's sort of a hokie procedure that I've never used. I used the Photoshop routine initially to get started but the same routine is also built into Lightroom Classic which I'm using more and more. Adobe makes it super easy, just select the photos to use, right click on them, select photo merge, a couple of options and select merge. The second shot is 5 shots and 180 degrees and processing time was about 30 seconds. They also have a slider to use to eliminate boundary warp which works great on scenics as long you don't have any geometric objects such as roads or fences near the edges. For shooting I shoot vertical to get the most pixels top to bottom and overlap shots at least 20% as well as include at least 20 - 25% more area top to bottom than I figure I need for post merge cropping, especially if you can't use the boundary warp slider. Obviously you want to keep your horizon straight and photos aligned as close as possible during the shooting stage. It's also recommended to turn off things like auto white balance so there's more consistent colour in your shots, I haven't done this and results have been good but I was also shooting in ideal conditions.

                      Had no idea this "haystacks" theme was going to come up when I shot this panorama with my "phone" last month at the Traveling Picnic.

                              A few weeks ago I was looking thru old photgraphy stuff and came across an old contact sheet with a pic of my old car and a friends GS in the back - a black and white negative that I never printed. It popped into hy head a couple days ago..... I have an enlarger. Why not set it up and simply take a picture of the image as an experiment? Then I realized... duh, its still going to be a negative image... I took the image, sent it to my phone, e mailed it to myself to get it on to my old Samsung phone that has a negative visual effect in its editing to flip it to a positive, back to my i phone for some twiddling, then to Flickr....
                              Yes, I know theres services for digitizing negatives, real editing programs, etc, but it was an interesting side track in using whats available. I have some color slides. May try a couple out... http://Untitled by Glen Brenner, on Flickr

                                Very cool, Glen. 2nd pic reminds me of an old strip mining hole where we used to swim, cliff dive, and party near when we were teenagers.

                                Both remind me of the bit of experimenting I did in the '90s with infrared B & W film. You've got me wanting to go back through my contact sheets and negs. I got rid of my enlarger long ago.
