There is so
much beauty in the state of Washington that single pictures
really don't give you an idea of the range and scope of the
mountains and valleys. Trying to demonstrate the above was becoming
an exercise in frustration for me. A videocam would probably
do the best job, but we don't own one. I'd been trying without
much success to make my own panoramas by stitching three or
four pictures together but I had been very displeased with the
results.
Last weekend Tim introduced me to a marvellous little program
called The
Panorama Factory. I find the products are quite remarkable.
It's very user-friendly, so it gets the Ang Seal Of Approval.
I've made the following without the use of a tripod. I held
the camera up to my eye, clicked, moved it a bit, clicked and
so on. I'm quite pleased with most of the results.
