Wilmington, N.C. Cape Fear River Waterfront

Here we have a panorama of nine frames "lined up" in a single pano rendering for this waterfront shot.

For those among you familiar with the equipment, I used my Canon 1D Mark II with the Sigma 50-500 lens (the BIGMA). I mention that because in any pano shot you have to be keenly aware of the necessity of having the lens pivot around it's focal center to eliminate parallax. In this case the Bigma is mounted on the tripod with the camera off-tripod, but on-lens, so to speak. I could then move the lens forward or back as necessary to keep the rotational center directly over the apex of the tripod. I also had to fuss about keeping the lens exactly horizontal....and all that other stuff you probably already know about when taking panos.

John, I didn't think you could improve this, but the added sharpness makes it even more striking. You're amazing!
Your biggest fan,
