In this video I show you how to fix the perspective of a stitched panorama on the fly before the final stitch.

Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C
The Hasselblad 907X and CFV 100C were just announced. This is my kind of digital camera kit. I don’t think I would ever spend this kind of money on a camera, but I look forward to the secondary market where the prices are more my style.
Catalina Island Sunset From Seal Beach
in YouTube, Video, Photography
I shot this one evening after work. I love the colors that Portra gave me for this shot. I made a video about this and have included it below.

I went back about a month later and shot a digital panorama. This is an eight shot stitch using PTGui. I like both shots, but I prefer the film version.

Dales Donuts Compton
in YouTube, Video, Photography
I woke up early the morning after Thanksgiving otherwise known as Black Friday. Before sunrise, I drove out to Compton and took this shot that I had already shot using a digital panorama stitch technique. After getting the film back, I realized that I liked the film shot much better than the digital shot. I made a video explaining all this. I have embedded the video here.

Donuts In The Fog
That morning, I was planning to head out at sunrise with my 4x5 view camera. I woke up to heavy fog. I went and got donuts instead. I grabbed my video camera and thought it would be fun to shoot a short video in the fog. I am not sure that I like the video. I did however enjoy the process of shooting each scene and then putting the final video together.

On Location Photography - Harveston Temecula
in Photography, Video
I published my first YouTube video this weekend. I have heard that the first 1000 subscribers takes a long time. I think I will allow myself about a year to work at this to see where it goes. I think that if I just put out quality content, eventually enough photographers will find my channel and I will be able to participate in the photography community. My goal is to become a contributing member of the photography community. We will see what happens. It feels like the top of the first inning with eight more long innings to go.
Here are the show notes as posted on YouTube:
