So some more of my experimentation with perspective correction. This pano of an office block in Liverpool was shot hand held. I haven't gone for anything too pretty here. I processed this pano from JPEG's and it is a great example of why you should not do this (sky falling apart).
The first image shows the pano as detected by Autopano Giga. The second image shows the perspective corrected finished product after a few NIK filters were applid.
I am impressed with how square the building is considering how sloppy I was with the hand held shooting. I have yet to process a version where the building is leaning. I will do that tomorrow.
Still for 20 seconds shooting, its not a bad finished product and has good resolution and sharpness even though it has been warped significantly.
The power of software perspective correction as applied through an advanced panoramic stitching software.
The Incredible HULK
I had to take my car in for service and spent a little too much time drooling on the Challenger row.
This thing was cool. Probably expensive, but cool. I’ll have to research it. UPDATE: About $520 on Amazon/B&H. A pocket version is $300. Kinda about what I thought.
HDR from handheld shot, 3 exposures by using Canon Hack Development Kit (CHDK) on a Canon SX220HS compact camera. Arranged in Photomatix.
I realy like such noisy HDRs.
Quick handheld shots around the house with an old manual focus RMC Tokina 35-105mm f3.5-4.3 lens adapted to a Canon EOS M. I got this lens as part of a lot a while ago, but just recently read another post www.dpreview.com/forums/post/56862957 sort-of praising it. It gets very mixed reviews on www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/tokina-mf-35-105mm-f3-5-.... Far too early to tell, but I would certainly rate it far higher than the 5 someone gave it.
All of these are SOOC handheld shots wide open with a cheap manual flash on full power pointed up.
I'll start an album for anyone who wants to see the whole collection of pictures taken with this lens.

This was the first frame on the roll, and I mis-estimated, leading to the sticky end of the film intruding into the image area. Shooting handheld at 1/25 second is tricky enough, but after returning home I discovered the shutter is a little sticky, too.
In the not too distant past, our rabbits and we made a few little critters to drum up a little dough to pay for their pet cat’s mounting medical bills. Probably because we channeled a whole bunch of positive energy into them, they feel pretty good to look at.
Then we realized they feel pretty good to hold, too. Their asymmetrical shape is a bit anatomical—they seem to fall right into the crook of the hand. We soon noticed that our hands, when idle, went straight for one. Familiar like a well-worn blanket or other childhood treasure, they’re quite cuddly. Best of all, they don’t snore.
We make Binky Buddies feel good by employing cottons and felted wools. We make them hypo-allergenic and machine washable by stuffing them with fiberfill. That nothing can fall off or be chewed off a Binky Buddy makes them safe for all ages.
Healthy for both people and the environment we live in, they’re lovely gifts for anyone who needs a little comfort every now and then.
