Here's my very first attempt at a McAllister-style panoramic. It's the view from the top of Sterling Peak in Jeffersonville, Vermont. It's a combination of two digital photos pasted together using some basic imaging software. One of the things I've had to deal with is figuring out the light meter on my camera. In this case, one of the pictures was brighter than the other, so I had to darken it so it would be the same tone. Hopefully, by doing this I got rid of the seam between the two photos. If you look closely, you should be able to pick it out, though.

When I went on vacation to London, I was fortunate to have a hotel room on an upper floor of an unusually high skyscraper for the area. So I took the opportunity and took a bunch of photographs of the distant London skyline. I had less trouble with the lighting, but I had some color correction issues, which makes the seams easier to see in some places.

This picture is from my trip to Quebec City. It's a view of the old city and the Chateau Frontenac as seen from the top of the nearby Citadel. This one was pretty easy to put together, as the light and color problems weren't so significant as in other panoramics. They are still visible, though. Maybe I'll sit down and try to redo this one and London now that I'm a little better at it.

This is Malletts Bay in Colchester, Vermont. This is the largest panoramic I have attempted, yet. I strung together 10 pictures to make it. In doing so, I discovered a problem McAllister may have seen himself eighty years ago- it's hard to do a panoramic of a body of water because the waves move between each shot. I couldn't get the waves to line up, and it showed the seams real bad. So, instead of leaving it perfectly in focus I blurred it and played with the "oil painting" and other filters on my imaging software until I got something that looked more Monet than McAllister. But it looks pretty good, so I kept it.

Here's another lake view, this time with the Adirondacks in the background. I had several different issues putting together this one. First, I still don't know how to work my light meter. Second, there's waves on the lake. So I experimented similar to the Mallett's Bay photograph above- I blurred the photo and ran it through a few filters, then ran it through a blue filter. I like the way it came out, as it approximates how the mountains look through the haze in Summer, even though I'm pretty sure I took the pictures in Spring.
