Panorama Tricks


During a visit to Portland OR, we hiked a 2 mile trail to the Falls Creek waterfall, ~17 miles north of Carson WA. This is a three tier waterfall and only the lower two tiers are visible from this (admittedly easily accessible) POV. Rock scrambling up to a higher POV was out of the question with my street shoes and Jeanne's Birkenstocks.

I snapped the waterfall in five overlapping pix vertically. Canon ZoomBrowser's PhotoStitch tool only stitches pix horizontally for the usual landscape sequence so stitching a vertical sequence is accomplished by rotating the pix 90 degrees, stitching, and rotating the panorama 90 degrees.

Here's a thumbnail of the result. Click the thumbnail to access the full size image, then click + magnifier to view it.
