[edit] Albert Dock Panorama

In a rare bit of January sun, I took 27 pictures of the Albert Dock and created created this Panorama using PTGui. Quite pleased with the result.

• Comment: There are a couple of flaws I'd like corrected before supporting: 1: The buildings lean to the left in an odd way - maybe the stitching should be re-done, or the whole image rotated slightly clockwise, and 2: A little sharpening (maybe "unsharp mask" filtering), and after that some downsampling, to reduce the unnecessarily large size, which would also improve the apparent sharpness. --Janke | Talk 19:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

OK. Rotated by 0.7 deg and buildings seem perfect now. Applied some USM and downsampled in resolution slightly. Please see version 2. chowells 20:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• Neutral, nice work, I can only see one oddity, the duplicated car on the right bridge. I'm reluctant to support since the subject is not really stunning. --Dschwen 20:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Neutral. It's very clear, but a little on the boring side. enochlau (talk) 23:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• ( − ) Oppose Dull subject, noisy at full res. --Fir0002 05:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• I'd like to shoot the person who decided the ISO setting on the 20D should be hidden away. Still, not terrible for accidentally leaving it in ISO 1600 mode ;) chowells 15:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. Agree with Fir002. For the record Chowells, you could probably tell by looking at the the shutter speed and aperture that something was strange if it was at ISO 1600. A panorama like that should be shot at ISO100 so the shutter/aperture would have been 16 times faster/more stopped down. ;). I'm not saying I've never made that mistake before, but I usually pay more attention when I'm creating a panorama. You have all the time in the world to get things right!

• Yes, I only got the camera at christmas, that was the first time I've used it properly. I will definitely be checking the ISO more carefully in future. 84.9.223.82 18:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose Nice attempt to capture a picture, but it really isn't all that stunning.--Ali K 11:07, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - but it does show the busy dock to advantage, I do like the mixture of tugs and sailing vessels. However, the leftmost brick building is still leaning in an awkward way... Reducing the size somewhat further (it doesn't have to be 18,000 pixels wide!) would remove some of the noise. --Janke | Talk 08:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
