I don't really do any hard core artistic photography, I just take pictures of what I think is cool. I'm an amateur, and haven't taken any photography classes. I've been messing around with my Finepix 3800 for a couple months now, and my panoramic collection is growing so I thought i'd post some of them. All of them are compiled of several normal pictures, and were pieced together and edited in Photoshop.

Click the images for a larger version (56k beware).








The first 2 are of my backyard, and the second two are North Chicago. Both the Chicago ones were taken through a window on the 21st floor of a hotel, which might explain any strange marks or smudges you might find.
And heres just something silly I did when fooling around with one of the Chicago ones.


I'm going on a road trip in a couple weeks, so i'll probably be doing a couple more panoramics along the way I'll post them here.
Let me know what you think of these, or if you have any tips for the future.

I really like your cityscapes. And that funky one you swirled together turned out really cool! Was that hard to do?

I have been meaning to take some skyline panaromas of OKC forever. Now that I've seen yours I'm galvanized into action. I'm going to do it this weekend! Thanks!

Thanks all, glad you like them


If your digital camera takes pictures, it can do this All I did was take 3 or 4 or 5 pictures, making sure to keep it level as possible, then I just compile them and edit them together in Photoshop. But last somebody showed me their digital camera that actually does have a panoramic setting. I'm not sure how it works though.

Oh and heres one more I did last night while I was at a lake. Not the most spectacular sunset ever, but it was good practice.
