Large Print Panorama
Well, in moving to our new offices at work I’ve got a very nice cube that I wanted to decorate. It’s prompted me to do something I’ve been meaning to do for about four years (and that’s no exaggeration). I wanted to do a really good panoramic composition and get it made as a large print. Well, I’ve finally done it. I looked at some large resolution work I’d done before and it turns out that they alignment was pretty bad. I needed some software to do a better job. I’ve previously posted about some software I found and while it’s cool, it was more of a proof of concept. I’ve dug around more and found AutoPano Pro (based on Autostitch). After spending a few hours with the trial I thought it was worth it and bought it. I then proceeded to really work on getting some print worthy panoramas assembled. After several done I decided on this composition to be my first try for printing over at Kinkos:
The print turned out to be much more expensive that I had thought it would be, but at 71 inches by 11 inches it isn’t exactly small. It has me wondering if I actually want to put pin holes in it to get it put up. We’ll see.
