Downtown Pittsburgh on a cold night. Stitch pano, tone-mapped from single exposure (i.e. only only one exposure setting per frame) raw files.
Panoramic view of the TOMCAT beamline (180°x60°) stitched from 3*12 handheld images. The sample stage with the manipulation robot is seen in the middle of the image. The enhanced contrast view of the beamline originates from 3 Exposure steps (-2EV, 0EV and +2EV) which were stitched with hugin.sourceforge.net/

I was kind of thinking I was getting tired of HDR, but I guess I was wrong.
This one from 6 exposures, hand-held and re-aligned using Hugin. This version is a blend of two different tone-mappings.
I've been falling far behind on posting photos to flickr, I have bunch more from Barcelona to come soon

The alignment algorithm evidently knows to sacrifice those control points that it considers hopeless. This view indicates the discrepancy between the control points. Those that align well are shown as dots. Those that could not be aligned are connected with lines showing the residual distances.
This begs a question: why didn't I ditch the second frame? I tried. The result was even worse. However awkward its orientation seems to be, it helps to join the frames 1 and 3 where it matters most — at the skyline.
The distance view makes it easy to understand the orientation of the original frames. For example, it shows very clearly that point of view of the second frame (of which only a portion is visible) was a few steps away from the more-or-less shared point of view of the other frames.
This screenshot is best viewed in the original size because the dots and lines are one pixel wide. They vanish when the image is scaled down.
Practicing panoramas for our holiday; just managed to miss the rain in Queens Park in Glasgow. We won't have a tripod so this was done by hand, 14 images, held vertical, manual exposure, D40, with a rubber band on the lens to get the right rotation point and avoid parallax. Stiched with hugin on Linux.
This one turned out ok, but the floor was a bit of a problem!
You can see 2 different tiny planets made from this picture here:
This is a "little planet" of Aristotelous Square in Thessaloniki.
Not much to say about this one, made from this panorama.
Or, to me as a child, the "Doggy Boat".
Hugin, a replica Viking ship sailed and rowed from Esbjerg in Denmark to Broadstairs in Kent, England, to mark the 1,500th anniversary of the arrival of the Vikings at Ebbsfleet in 449. The Vikings are said to have included Hengest (or Hengist) and Horsa.
The ship made good speed crossing the North Sea and arrived two days early. The crew of fifty - only one, the navigator, a professional seaman - celebrated by swimming in the sea.
The ship was beached at Broadstairs and was then sailed up the Thames to Greenwich for a reception. A further trip up the Thames took them to more celebrations in Richmond-upon-Thames.
The events of that summer brought some brightness back into post-war Britain and were a hint of things to come in the Festival of Britain in 1951.
When it came to the ultimate fate of Hugin, things became a little complicated. The ship was owned by the Danish Travel Association which put it up for sale. The local authorities in both Broadstairs and Ramsgate put in offers and asked specifically that it should not be sold to the other town. In the event, the Association entered into negotiations with the "Daily Mail" newspaper because, as they said, "we did not want to let either town down."
After over fifty years exposure to wind and weather on the cliff top at Cliffsend, Hugin was not looking well. The sail and mast were no longer visible, the paint on the shields was fading and the hull itself showing signs of age. Hugin was taken to Gloucester for a complete overhaul and returned to Cliffsend in 2005. My only quibble with the restoration is that the shields along the sides are now all the same colour.
Even if you're too tired or sick of everyday worries, seize the moment when you see it, don't pass it by. It's worth it! Even if you don't have camera with you! :P
The full-quality JPEG is 25 MB in size and couldn't be uploaded to Flickr... I had to compress it a bit, giving us a file size of only 8.8 MB. The picture still looks huge and is still full of wonderful detail. Made with the open source "panorama photo stitcher" called Hugin: hugin.sourceforge.net/
