Montreal Twilight Panorama [edit]

A panorama of downtown Montreal as viewed from Mount Royal at twilight

This image newly appears on the Montreal page, as I took it earlier today. This is actually a 5 segment by 3 row panorama stitched in landscape format. It is one of my highest resolution (9118x2774!) panoramas yet and I'm pretty happy with the results. View at 100% to appreciate the details available (beware the file size however :/ - ~8mb).

  • Support Awesome! Tell us, how did you stitch this? (I'm curious, since I'm into panoramic photography myself, I even own a rotating-lens camera...) --Janke | Talk 17:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I used a program called PTGui and a blending plugin called Smartblend to aid in smoothing any vignetting/exposure differences (although there shouldn't be any differences as I use the same white balance/exposure settings for each frame obviously). Works very well. :) There is a demo version of PTGui available but it places an annoying watermark on the photo. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 17:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • You said it a large file size - no more. From 8Mb to 3.7Mb. And that puts me with a Very Strong Support for either pic - amazing level of detail. The only reason I didn't go smaller than 3Mb was that I was afraid I'd lose all of the fantastic detail, like the folders lying on a desk in the central office block. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 18:10, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Support I thought you were joking about the folders on the desk until I downloaded the whole image in all its glory. --Surgeonsmate 05:37, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either version. — 0918BRIAN • 2006-01-5 20:46
  • ( + ) Support Well done Diliff. Only tiny complaint is that there is probably too much out-of-focus branches in the foreground - a little is good for the scene but IMO there is too much. But spectacular and definetly FP material --Fir0002 23:08, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Great image, however I don't support the lower resolution version. That's what the preview page is for. ~MDD4696 03:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, but we do not need the low res, the server scales it down automatically -- Chris 73 | Talk 23:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support original. I have a little problem with the huge Improved by Vanderecken box for just resaving it at higher compression, so my support goes to the original only. --Dschwen 00:50, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • We're commenting on the image, not the description page. I agree that box was a bit large, I downsized it yesterday. And also, please try to spell my name right. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are two very simple key combinations. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 11:39, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support original. Wow. enochlau (talk) 05:13, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Very nice, and I'd give it a "good image" if there was one... but, I'm not sure that it's the best time or location of a panorama of Montreal. So many good pictures coming in lately, that I'm not sure it matches up to all of the competition. (Also, keep the largest size image they say) gren グレン 02:31, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • What time/location would you suggest? Mount Royal is well known as being a great lookout onto downtown Montreal, and as far as the time goes, I can show you a similar panorama that I took a couple of hours earlier in the day from that very spot, and I don't think it is nearly as striking[1].
