Last Sunday.
Same location, same factory, more distance.
The Mini2 lens had some issues with the sunlight hitting the front lens, hence the hazy edges of this pretty wide panorama (200 degrees or something like that)

That's a super wide Pano, but very nicely done.  

Nice. I like that it doesn't seem bent.

Lovely wide pano. And although the detail of the factory is lost, the Autumnal landscape makes up for it

Thanks RDB.
Partly because I chose the 'little planet + keep horizon' projectory settings.
I liked how it straightened the lines.

Autopano with the little planet + keep horizon projectory setting can do that sometimes.

I agree.
But I'm trying to do a serie, so hence the word factory in the title.

Is that a FACT, or ???

Nicely captured. One can get a good perspective of the landscape around your location.

Thanks a lot!

FACT OR Your interpretation

Nice one Monty,  it so common for these to curve but you nailed it.    Ps Buy the Ranger, I had one a few years ago and loved it.

Hahahahahahaha.
In my wildest dreams maybe.
Beautiful car btw.

If it helps the fuel economy is terrible on them.  And tolls treat you like commercial.

Yeah, I'd rather get a van.
But that is even more expensive.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-3 12:22

You're most welcome.  

It did have the effect of straightening the lines.

Sometimes it works very well.  But it seems to depend on 'where' the lines are in the pano.

Yes, the old catch 22 principal.

Especially since you don't know how the end result will be.

Really depends on the use case. But unless you have a big can the pickup can move some big stuff  and you’ve got much better traction  than a van.  The one I had could lick the diff so in snow it was awesome.

I like the looks of this beast, but I'd much rather have a van.
Very practical for many situations and I like driving them.

This is a longer version, plus it has a double cab.
It is a joy to drive in.

Nice shot Montfrooij but keep it up and I'll have to start viewing on the big screen.
Way fuel prices are going a horse and cart might be viable.

Yes. they drive just like a car these days.

True, there is always the unknown.

Exactly. With the added bonus of great field of view.

With these panos, I try to take it into consideration, but sometimes it works out differently.

I have an SUV so Im used to being a bit higher and it does help.

Seems it is always somewhat of a mystery as to how they'll turn out.

Indeed. I'm not used to it, but I love it.

I don't make enough of them to see the pattern.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-5 05:38

Well you are way ahead of me then as I've only used pano mode 2-3 times that I recall.

DowntownRDB Posted at 11-5 06:18

It is worth the effort for me.
And after some time it is not even that much of an effort.

Sounds good.  I'm still very much a newbie at aerial photography.  Sad to say but I mostly bought my drones for the pleasure of flying.  Aerial photography was like a nice to do and see things from a different perspective.  I bought the Skydio 2+ for filming my grandson race his gokart and motorcycle.  It is the best sport's tracking drone due to it's autonomous flying capability.  Camera quality is a tad below DJI but it simple can't be beat for sport's tracking.  

I was mentioning to DAFlys that with all the rumored and/or proposed new drone regulations which will hurt recreational flyers I may not invest anymore in drones and start putting my effort and money into underwater drones and photography.  Living in Florida gives me easy access to fresh water lakes, aquifers, the ocean and the Gulf.

Yeah, well, each can have his own way to enjoy himself right?
No right or wrong.
For me it's not about the flying. I don't even like flying that much.
But I love to be able to capture the world from a different perspective

Yeah, I have to say with the Mini 2 (or any <250g drone) I don't feel bad about flying.
It is such a lightweight drone, it won't do much harm if it falls from the sky. m
With the MP I did have a bit of a bad feeling when flying over things.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-5 07:26

I'm not so worried about my drone falling on somebody's head as I mostly fly over water or over my own land.  However, with the growth in commercial drone delivery the big corporations like Walmart, Alphabet, etc they are all using their powerful advocates to push for restricted air space for their delivery drones.  If this goes through you will basically push recreational pilots to flying at designated flying bases which already exist for R/C planes.  Most R/C pilots do not like drones and this will not turn out well.

Anyway, hopefully the restrictions will not happen for at least another few years.  If they do so be it as it will just give me more time to dive and  make bubbles.
