Panorama from Spinnaker Tower
In the shot here Alan asked if I had been up the Spinnaker Tower. I hadn't on this visit Alan but I did go up on a previous visit. This is a three shot panno from the main viewing deck. I have removed as much of the colour cast caused by the green glass as I can and reduced most of the reflections from the surrounding viewing area. The view is looking slightly west of north with Gosport on the left, Fareham straight ahead and HMS Warrior on the right. You might just be able to see HMS Victory between and above the tops of the mid and fore masts.

Ah, thank you, Keith. Some interesting distortions especially on the righthand third but it just shows what a view you get from the tower. I can see four naval ships in port which is two more than I thought we had now; I understood that we had the Victory, the Warrior and half a new aircraft carrier sans aircraft A lot of navel history has happened here and lets hope it continues to do so. Thanks for indulging me.

A cracking pano' Keith and what a great job with the stitching and editing.
OK some distortion but it doesn't spoil it.
Loads to look at and enjoy, but I want to see it much bigger, any chance of a Photobucket upload
Great shot thanks.

The thing that struck me first here is just how high this tower is, a really good panorama I am not sure what Alan means about the distortions, it looks okay to me. Good job of stitching too, could almost be a letter box crop of a large image.
I rarely think to do this type of image, but I have seen some very impressive panoramas printed, but then you need to get them printed professionally. I joined a camera club and some members used a company called Pro Am for printing, have you tried them Keith? Well seen and taken though.

Thanks guys. Re the distortion: The windows tilt inwards at the top so, as well as the inevitable lens distortion, as the camera is panned around, the angle of the windows to the camera sensor changes. The resultant images give the stitching software a lot to do and I think it does a pretty good job too. By the way Alan, HMS Victory is still in commission as the flagship of the First Sea Lord so technically there are five naval ships in the shot.
