3d Tools
Just wanted to rant about a new piece of software I came across and had the opportunity to play with that I think is REALLY awesome, and reasonably priced too!

I downloaded the demo for it's abilitiy to stitch panorama photo sequences to see how it would compare to my photoshop skills. I plugged in a sequence of 5 photos taken in Windigo Harbor at dusk in Isle Royale, 180 degrees covering the shore. I had put them together in PS last year and suffered the shock of how difficult it is to match edges, feather shading and get the colors right. The sun was descending rapidly as I took the sequence so from right to left the photo got darker and the blues got deeper over that 2 minutes. And it was shot with long exposures with no tripod to boot.

I'm intrigued with the other capabilities of their software and how I can apply it to my photography. Will keep you posted on this one.

Here's my photoshop attempt:



and now the copy that 3d Photo Builder came up with through it's stitching option (resized for posting here obviously). Mind you, PS took 2 hours and lots of swearing, this took a grand total of 2 minutes!  :
