Very nice panoramas.  I especially like the Grand Canyon panos.

I like your panoramas and I'm envious of the exotic locations. Nothing so exciting on the dusty plains of the Riverina!

Cheers,

Re: A few select pics, grand canyon, mt rainier, etc

Thank you for posting ladieu! Especially your desert and mountain panos drew me in.

Where was the pano titled "Grand canyon" in your third post shot from? Looks much higher than the rest of the landscape...

I would suggest you use the "set verticals" tool more since some panos are curved or rotated a bit, and also posting in higher resolutions! You can use the forum image uploading, no need to link external images.

Also, when you shoot high contrast landscapes, you can try setting your camera to manual exposure for exposing the ground nicely, and then shoot one row for the ground, and now increase exposure by 1 or 2EV and shoot the sky with just a bit of the horizon visible, so you can get control points. In AP put your ground shots on one layer and your sky shots on another, and set color anchors to apply to the layer they're on only, as described here. This way you will get a nicer sky. The reason I suggested you set your camera to manual exposure is because auto exposure might create too strong variations, and you also have no control over how much darker the sky will be. If you make it too dark, it will have the fake HDR look that we don't want.

@DrSlony

The vertical shot you are referring to is overlooking the bright angel trail from the overlook behind bright angel lodge. The other ones don't appear as high because I took them while I was hiking the canyon rim to rim.

Thanks for your tips, I particularly enjoyed the link you provided. I knew about manual exposure, but I won't have thought to vary the exposure within the same panorama.   

Yes I will definitely post in higher resolution. I would say the originals average 30mp to 50mp but some are higher. I was hoping to use gigapan.org to host them all, but it won't take the smaller sizes so it is a no go.

Unfortunately some of the source photos were shot on a 2mp canon powershot and simply won't ever be very large.
