Metrodome Pano

[Dbl]

Shoot my first couple of college baseball games today at the Metrodome. Looked for a slightly different shot, so this is what I came up with. Had to rest the camera on the photo well rail so I didn't get as much of the roof as I wanted but this is a 180 degree view down the first base line. Here is a link to a larger view. Larger picture here

Sweet Shot. Is that a a couple of shots together, or just a realy realy wide angle?

[Dbl]

Paul, 4 shots stitched together to form a 180 degree look. The rail on the right and left are actually the same rail that come together. Oh I should add Paul this was done in CS4, the photomerge in CS4 is unbelievable! It blows CS2 out of the water in merging ability.

Wow. That's really neat.

That's cool Dan!

If you took the shots from a portrait orientation and took a few more, would it give you the roof line you wanted? Just a thought.

I like panos like this I took a couple on a cruise this winter of a sunset with several oil tankers lined up to get into Venezuela.

Nice work.

Nice shot Dan. Ahhhhhhhh, baseball season is starting, I feel warmer already.

Always a good crowd on hand for those Metrodome college games. My son played there a few times, you can always get a real good seat.

Thanks for the comments all! CFRay yeah its not to hard to get a good seat at these games.

Super image!

I'd love to shoot some clay pigeons in there!

That really cool Dan. Looking at the larger image it looks as if there are multiples of the same player. Is that 2 number 31's in the right side of the image?

[Dbl]

Mike I do believe you are correct! I guess the players moved while I was taking the shots. If you look down the third base side toward the bullpen it looks as if there are two each of the players there as well, and possibly the second baseman is duplicated! I just stitched it together without doing much else to it, if I was going to print it I think some cloning would be appropriate!

Cool shot!!

[mmeyer]

That's funny. I can see how that could happen very easily. I think you've done enough "cloning" Dan. Maybe you can can unclone them.

Now that is very funny!!!!!!!

Upon further inspection the only player cloned is "31". Whew, I feel better about not adding to the cloning culture!

Way to be the responsible photographer Dan!
