The camera makes it easy to shoot panoramic images by providing a panoramic mode. Dont be fooled, the camera hardware does not support panoramic or a really wide angle lens and is not designed to produce such pictures out of the box, but the software really make up for it. This means you have to take a couple of shots that will define your final panoramic image. Everytime you shoot a picture in this mode, it guides you by showing a litle bit of the previous shot so you can align your camera and take the next shot making it look like one complete picure. The software then takes all the shots in this series and stitches them together to produce a widescreen or a panoramic version of your picture. Smart eh? Hell yeah! If you have this mode on your camera and the software, i would say... "Go Wild... Go Wide... Get Creative" :).
As for the title, i loved this book by Sidney Sheldon and is one of my favorites. I was a big fan of Sidney Sheldon and Jeffrey Archer in my school days. Did you read this book?
Wow! Cool picture!
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot!
All your stuff is great!
I wish I knew more about the art
of photography!
I did read "Windmills Of The Gods"
It is a good book! I remember it was one of the books I took with me when we were on vacation in the
Bahamas in 1989. I could not put it down...read it on the beach every day!
Take care, and have a great weekend!
Margie:)
Windmill of the Gods, never had the pleasure.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm in the middle of the Buddha series by the god of manga Osamu Tezuka but I will keep an eye our for the windmill book.
Great pictures as usual.
Was trawling the net and stumbled into your site. Nice pic, yeah read the book back in junior school and yeah I loved it then. Grown up since :)

Great pic as usual. Wish I had a camera like that. Haven't read Windmills, one of the couple of Sidney Sheldon books I haven't read, though I really liked only a few.
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeletegreat pic.
i remembered my visit to holland in the early '90s. went inside those ancient windmills built way back in 1600s and 1700s. they were massive and made a lot of noise. just wondered how any man could have built them at all!
compared to those demons, these windmills look like cute little poms!
I have not read that book, but I want to. I like his books.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool picture. Those windmills on the hills look pretty cool.
Hello Ari, came to you through Gangadhar. What cool software, excellent piece of work from your end as well. Have to come back to keep myself updated with new tech stuff.Will check out the book as well. See you around

ReplyDeleteMargie, Thank you. It was a pretty sight indeed. Photography is very simple. All you need is a good eye for pictures and the passion. I'm sure you will do well if you get into photography and your pictures will be as pretty as your poems :)

Frida, it is an old book by Sidney Sheldon.

ReplyDeleteAlso, i dont know who Jeyam Ravi is. I dont know if it is good or bad that you think i resemble that person ;)
Take care -ari
Hey Nabeel... Yeah. Very neat and clean source of energy. No byproducts, 100% use of free nature.
ReplyDeleteI shoot in Large+Superfine resultion and yeah, the software does the trick. It lets you add images, then stitches them to create a wide panaromic image. Pl read my post for details.
Take care

Keshi, i did check your blog. I think it is real steamy and hot out there. See the effects your picture caused... some had to be rushed to the hospital, some had to be put on artifical respiration and some needed smelling salts... and some were injured from the fights that broke out :D lol...Just kidding. I like the last pic. looks like a professional portrait. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteTake care -ari
starry nights. Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. Hello to you too. I have seen these windmills at a couple of places here. Take care and nice knowing you -ari
ReplyDeleteGangadhar, Thank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to tell you something.... The novel has nothing to do with windmills, and my picture has to do nothing with the novel :D But definitely do it when you get a chance, it is one of my favorites. Take care -ari
Hi Suji, Nothing great about this camera. I used a point and shoot Canon Powershot S230. All you need to do is to make sure your exposure and white balance remains same for all the shots you take in the series. Once done, the software will take care of stitching the pics. If you need to tweak your pics even further or get creative, Photoshop is always there for your rescue :)

Hey rk. The giant windmills those days were used commonly in farms and fields. Their purpose was to harness energy for irrigation, draw water from a well and also the rotational force was converted to power needed to grind and pulverizing the grain. The ones you see these days are purely for harnessing power and the smaller they are, the more you can fit them in a given area. This is purely my understanding :) Feel free to correct me if i am wrong.
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie, thank you for your comment and good to see you here again :) Take care -ari
