“They say (whomever they are) that the main purpose of doing a PaD is to learn."

Challenged by our omnipresent “June Gloom” here in SoCal, I determined to do a pano shot of my home. Tripod and fisheye lens in hand, I crossed the street, took my meter readings, and snapped a series of four frames creating a 180 degree vista.

In blending these frames I learned that it is quite difficult to line up fisheye images because of the inherent ‘bend’ the lens creates. Anyhow, I did my thing, lots of nudging and clone stamping in Photoshop, and voila I had my scene.

However, after playing with it, I thought this distorted version was more exciting than any ***straight pano shot.***

So folks, welcome to Verano Drive! ;--)
