Glen Lyon Pano

Inspired by another Flickr user to give stitching panos together another go I decided to give it a bash tonight. I had this set of images I'd taken up at Glen Lyon so I tried through affinity's stitch tool and this was what I ended up with.

 

I think the one thing I'd say I struggled with was the amount of distortion that the stich in affinity put on the images... so my work around was to put it back into the photo persona and almost reverse the distortion using the lens distortion tool and then crop it. I defo need to watch some learning on how to do it in affinity properly... as this was just a bash at it from what I already knew. These really where not the best files to use either as the sky was pretty blown but the only ones I really had to give it another go with. It took a bit of sky recovery which just added to the complexity of the edit I think. LOL spent about an hour editing this which is far to long in my book. I have a feeling my issues are a lack of understanding of affinity... and I think it may just not be as good as the Lightroom tool either.

 

So about this image... It's from Glen Lyon. It was taken just as I was about to leave as the light had got harsh. I just liked this composition when I seen it. The rock is the praying hands of Mary... but its just from an angle that doesn't show the hands... but I thought gave a nice view down the valley. I think this would be lovely with the right red sky pre pressurise light.
