Wikipedia:Picture peer review/South Beach

South Beach, Miami, Florida

High quality panoramic image of South Beach in Miami. Again, looking for reviews on what I should/shouldn't be doing to get a higher quality product. Again using PTGui for stitching.

Discussion about former version

I think that this image has potential, but it needs a restitch. For a start all the buildings are falling over and the horizon is 5-10 degrees from level. Scroll down in this article to "Levelling the panorama with the help of horizontal and vertical control points:". It should allow you to get the whole thing geometrically correct. I'm not sure if you did or didn't, but make sure your camera is set to manual for a consistent exposure across the frame. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's a huge help - thanks for the resource. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 15:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let us know when you upload the restitch, I don't see a need to take the shots again. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:25, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I can anyway - that was on vacation. It'll take me some time to perfect. Thanks again. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 17:06, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded a new version today which straightens the buildings. Two buildings were set to vertical and the horizon on the right was set to horizontal. Let me know what you think of the update. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 17:46, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There was still a slight bit of tilt. I fixed it in the edit with a mild bit of perspective correction. I also sharpened it and did a levels adjustment. I'd nominate it and see how you go. Noodle snacks (talk) 02:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seconder

Some of the highlights look close to blown, lighting is uneven (likely a cloud passing overhead in the foreground), but all in all a very nice picture, should be worth a nom. Needs more women, though. ;-) Fletcher (talk) 23:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Haha, excellent point. Next time I'll do my best but no guarantees they won't be any better than the one at center-bottom of this image. Thanks for the laugh! ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 05:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
