To the club members,
we have just completed a trip on the Holland Track and have witnessed first hand the hard work your club has put into marking the track.
Thankyou for your efforts
Kind Regards

Hi Alison , Hi Steve ,

I was looking at your great site and I noticed your comment about "photo stitching " and your use of a Canon A620 .

I could not see the Canon A620 on the Canon website nor any mention of " photo stitching ".

Is it an SLR ? Do you know if any of the Canon SLRs have this feature ? Or is it part of the Canon software you use when you have downloaded the shots

It would be a great tool to have . At present I have a 300D and am quite happy with it .

Enjoy your trip ,

Willie .

Hi Willie,

Don't know much about the Camera, but I've been using a FREE program called Autostitch www.autostitch.net/ for panoramas and it works GREAT. Just take your pics, select them and hey-presto :o)

G'day. You generally get photostitch with the Canon software. It's quick, easy to use and gives good results.
Cheers

Canon IXUS 65 has picture stitch program on CD with camera but you have to take the pictures to be stitch in stich mode first.

Ian, yes, I had an Ixus till it died earlier this year, and the photostitch was brilliant. Have since used the software with my Fuji, but not as good results. I think that the Canon in stitch mode embeds some data, such as the focal length of the lens, etc to get the best results. Pity, I miss the feature, as it works almost seamlessly

Hi Willie, I downloaded the demo version which has full features as far as I can see - I've had GREAT results and it's SO easy to use. If you set the :quality to 100% and the :scale to 100% it take a LOT LONGER to process, but the results are worth it. I recently took a dozen images of the Byron Bay Valley from the lookout and I just 'picked' the images in the folder and hey-presto!

Thanks for the tip Shawsie. I tried autostitch last night. I hadn't tried stitching before, because my shots at panorama point tend to be a bit haphazard. It was AMAZING. The programme took a selection of pictures which didn't line up, didn't meet, or overlapped and created perfectly matched pictures. I just have to get rid of a few zig zaggy black lines on the outside edges. I spent most of last night having fun creating the panoramas. I can believe how good it is.

Motherhen, another tip is to make sure your images overlap each other more than enough. You end up with more photos, but who cares, the program does the rest anyway - a great piece of software for nicks :o)

With apologies to Steve and Alison for hijacking their thread, i have been playing with the autostitch again today. Unfortunately when i took vistas, i was not thinking of the possibility of stitching, so there are gaps, which autostitch can't include. I'm amazed at what the programme can do, but i'm a long way from getting photos of the the quality that Steve and Alison have been sharing with us.
