Hi Jinggoy. About my workflow – let’s say it’s Nikon D200 and Nikkor 70-200 VR. I may use a tripod but I may shoot handheld even with 200 mm. (F stop – 8). Number of frames – 20 – 30. Fine, Large. Vertical, always. Manual mode. 50% shift. At home – I rename all frames. Those belonging to a panorama I move to a folder named Panorama 01… (And these in a day’s folder). Then I start panorama factory, open these 20-30 files and start automatic. Ten minutes later I have a panorama. In PS I correct ghosts, people and cars if there are any. When all ghosts are got rid of I correct final image – levels, colors, curves. That’s all. We have a 100 MP panorama. I save in JPEG 12. In TIFF only if there are more than 30.000 pixels long side. The biggest panorama I made consisted of 68 frames (Nikon D70). The computer worked about 1.5 hours (I watched TV). When the movie was over I had a 196 MP view of Malta’s city Sliema. Two years ago I tried stitching manually, tried PS’s automerge, Sticher 4, several others. Believe me – PS’s is one of the worst. Want more instruction write to my e-mail. It’s in bio. Valery.

Hi Valery,
This was my first attempt at a panorama. This is a very long landscape shot it extends from the SF Bay Bridge, the City of San Francisco and all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge on the right.
I shot about 12-15 images (Fine, Large setting)
Tripod mounted - VR off (my ball head has
graduations so I took an image
every 30deg - this maybe the reason I have too
many images)
Photoshop Elements stitching tool - but I had to
manually adjust the color tone of each image.
I need to do this again, but I won't try the City of San Francisco anymore :-)

Hi Jinggoy. Unfortunately I can’t see the big sized panorama. But since I do the same (size I mean) I can imagine what it looks like. From your info though I can’t find what may be useful for panorama addicts (I am one of them) – how many frames were taken, handheld (VR) or with tripod, the stitching program, the final size. My usual workflow – 10-20 frames, up to 100 MR volume. Now the same camera – Nikon D200, Valery

Your great panorama looks blended well to me. This is a great view of the city. I've never quite seen it like this making it look like a magical island. Great shot.

You may think it is too narrow- I don't! It is amazing! When I click on that panoramic it is brilliant and so unique. I see loads! The colours and the size wonderful.

Dear Jin,
Unfortunately UF does not allow non-donating members to watch the Panoramic photos to their fullest extent !
From what I could see, I think the colors have gelled very well.. lovely work !!
all the very best,
Avi

I agree, Treasure Island is definately one of the best vantage points for shooting the city skyline. I tend to think the Bay Bridge is nice as well - but I guess it's overshadowed by the popularity and status of the Golden Gate Bridge. I've seen the proposed photos of the new Bay Bridge and it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up to the GGB once it's done :)

Thanks Toshi. I went down there early Saturday morning. I was expecting it to be all covered in fog. Surprisingly it was clear. As you may know this was from Treasure Island, gives the best vantage point.
Now that I look at the two bridges, somehow, the Bay Bridge actually looks nicer to me than the GGB.

Hi Jinggoy,
Awesome pano of the city! And never a better time, especially the past few days with the hot weather and clear skies. I never really noticed the nice balanced look of the city with its unmistakable San Francisco landmarks. I love how you included the two bridges, especially the GGB way in the distance - almost makes the city look like an island with the bridges being the only way of getting into the city. Great work!

Thanks Yamil. Didn't realize it was going to show up this small :-)
You have to squint to see it.
I'll try to repost after I get some tips on proper sizing for a panoramic image.
Take care and keep cool (it's been in 100's here the past few days, are you still venturing out to RSA?)
