3. Love the shots.

Panos are not my forte, and I'm getting ready for my Aurora-shooting trip, so I'll be sitting this one out. Good luck to everyone.

8. It's hard to choose, isn't it?

I had several choices to make also. All three are nice...the last one - it looks like one of those torrential summer thunderstorms is coming!

I have spent many happy hours swimming in the water in your photo



from years ago when I took a group of students to swim...

15. Love that pic!

So many good spots to swim in VT!

I was a fan of the Bolton potholes... Lots of fun.

6. Excellent! More entries, please!

7. We need more entries. If you have an iPhone or other such device, you can do panos with them.

[Agschmid]

16. I LOVE the IPhone feature.

[alfredo]

18. I use my iPad Mini for panos. very easy.

9. Solly, have you posted an invitation in GD or the Lounge?

I was wondering. Of course maybe any of us could maybe do that, am I correct, or does protocol mean the person in charge do that?

Anyways, all entries are very nice!

[Solly Mack]

12. I did in the lounge. I'll do GD today. Thanks!

ETA: I started a thread in GD and kicked the thread in the Lounge.

[Agschmid]

17. I did one in GD, it dropped like a rock :(

10. Okay, I managed to get something posted...

I would have liked to share something other than my entry but now that I have an account at photobucket I suppose I should keep entering in the future.

I have to go to the city to get some business done... it's 170 miles one way so I may not be back until tomorrow evening... and now I have to get horizontal so I can get on the road by 7:30am.

If adjustments need to be made for adding my submission to the contest, please let me know, I'll check in when I get home... Thanks!

13. Looks good to me!

[2naSalit]

21. Awesome, thank you!

Just got in. Not only was it hot and a long drive, the whole day I was in such dense smoke that I couldn't see what's in my picture on the way coming or going... ick.

Have a great time with the contest, I can't wait to see all the entries!

Thanks again,

2na

[Agschmid]

19. Yes it is!

[Solly Mack]

20. Great photos!

But we need more!

22. I've NEVER before done panoramas

I'm sure I'm not alone. I've been clicking them to the mild annoyance of those around me for days, and have been learning.
Maybe, if you have the time, tell folks again that it's not that hard, and fun, once you start playing with it. I took many panoramas by now, and find it quite interesting.
I'm still lost in the Everglades, or I would try to do it.

[Solly Mack]

23. I hope you're having fun!

I really suck at panoramas.

But, my attempts have been fun and it's not that hard...of a concept.

I'm getting better.

[bluedigger]

24. I just figured out how to do it with Photoshop yesterday.

I'll get something in the next couple of days, I think.

[Solly Mack]

25. Excellent! That's wonderful!

[Solly Mack]

26. Just a few more days! Please get your entry in!

Thank you!

[Solly Mack]

27. Excellent entries! More, please!

[Solly Mack]

28. I'll wait until the very last second to post the primary

to give people more time. Hopefully we will get more entries.

Thank you, everyone!

[Solly Mack]

29. Thank you for the entries!

I'll be posting the prelims later on the 23rd.

30. Welcome to Old Codger , first timer!

Welcome to the group!!!

[Old Codger]

31. Thank You

Have always loved playing with panos and stitching .. That one actually has a double bow in it but second(higher) one is hard to make out

[Tom Kitten]

32. Well I think it was a good topic and all were excellent entries

I think there weren't more entries because it's just not some people's forte...Kinda like the night photography contest a few months ago... I didn't enter that because I don't have a tripod and had nothing to submit...Plus, you know, shrinking down a photo to DU size, sometimes you lose a lot of the detail, the subtleties...with panorama shots it's harder to see details...plus it can be a composition challenge if you are not used to it.
