Ah, now I see the little red star, so you must have renewed! Good to see you back (just as UF itself seems to be livening up a little!)
Yes, the sky is a problem, but easier to solve than the paving, I feel. The regular lines of the paving mean that any tinkering is immediately obvious, whereas it's easier to disguise in the sky. This particular pano suffers from a certain amount of repetition in the sky, but I think that is more noticeable when the image is viewed as a whole, rather than in full pano mode.

Must renew my donation to take advantage of the detailed image! This kind of panorama is a real pain to take... lots of discussion of the problems and solutions on my panorama E-mail group. Well done, AJ! Lucky you to have to necessary time (and expertise) to devote to it.
The SKY is a major problem, too, don't you think?

Many thanks, Julie. How long did I work on this? Hm, not sure I want to answer that...
OK, on Sunday I took the first set of shots, but did not realise that because the pano is not taken from a single viewpoint, I needed to be much more careful that I was directly in front of each building. I spent a couple of hours that evening trying different pano programs, but it didn't really work. As I explained to Gerhard, I found I was trying to blend \ with / at the edge of each image, rather than \ with \. I then tried a manual stitch, but because I hadn't taken enough care with the shots, this didn't work very well either.
So on Tuesday I went back and took a new set of shots, this time being careful to get each individual building as straight and centred as possible. I then spent about 4 hours doing a manual stitch-and-clone. This convinced me that a result was possible, but that I needed to take a little more care. So the next evening I did it all again...
I've also produced B&W, sepia and high-contrast "line drawing" versions, but I think the colour version works best. The high-contrast line-drawing, in the style of an architect's drawing, was the original idea I had in mind, but it still requires quite some work.

Thanks Gerhard. I initially tried using Picture Gear, which I have used successfully to build panos in the past, but without success. I then tried Panorama Factory, which I have also used before, again without success. What I found was, because of the different viewpoint for each photo, the edges of adjacent photos were very different. I found I was trying to blend \ with / rather than \ with \, if you see what I mean. The effect was all the more marked because I was using an 18mm lens and was necessarily close to each building. It was a problem that had not occurred to me until I actually tried to do it.

You are too kind, Michele. As I mentioned to Gary, I originally had the idea to do this in Tarifa, but missed my chance while the main street was closed. So when I found this street closed for renovation in Warsaw, I grabbed the opportunity!

Serious critiques I cannot give you.. But serious compliments.. Very nice piece of work and a wonderful idea. I do wonder though why the pano software wouldn't be able to stitch this panorama? As long as there are matching points for the pano-software to work with it should be able to work it's magic.. Did you try to use software?

Great idea. That's quite a task you set yourself. It occurs to me that this would be a good angle to sell to tourist offices. Imaginative, well deserving of an award.
