Default Panoramic picture fix [Please help] [Photographers]

Well the story basically goes...I didn't bring my tripod with me and it was quite windy..Soooo...Do you think there's anyway i can fix this?



PS- I didn't know where else to put this..Maybe HT has a photography section that i don't know of. If we don't we NEED one. Thanks!

On the technical side of this question, I'd suggest adjusting the camber. That may fix the problem.

I'd suggest using a tripod next time. Maybe try taking more pictures to get one shot, and flipping the camera on its side (so the pics are taller than they are wide). That way you'll have more space above and below the car that can be cropped, when you try to perfectly line up each part of the main pic. You may have to take more pics of the space in front of the car, since the shots will be so narrow.

And try to find a way to add more lighting as well, since it is a black car. Maybe pick up a big sheet of white poster board, to try and reflect some more light onto the car. Poster board that is too glossy may just shine it on the car like a flash light, and too matte might not do anything for you. So you might want to get a couple pieces and experiment with it.

Yes the camera needs to be on a tripod and instead of 3 pictures get 5 or 6 and make sure you are shooting in Manual that way you have your appeature settings and exposure settings identical then in photoshop or whatver program you use make one of the layers transparent as you line them up. however in photo shop there is an automated Panoramic i dont like to use it because it ends up looking strange but its under File/Automate/Photomerge. But i recommend doing it manually. also on the seems of the pictures as they come together Over lap them thats why you need to take more pics not only to improve the view angle but also to give your self some buffer space to erase the top layer gradually blending the images together to a seemless stretch


>>>>>HOWEVER you can fix that you have to go to the first layer on the left and Stetch it to match the other layers Depends on what program you are using but in photoshop there is a morph feature you can use to stretch and crunch independent selections of the layer and that will pry fix the problem you have there up front. because your view of the car is essencially the same it should be mendable !

i can fix it. I am a professional photo editor and graphic designer so it will cost you, but as a professional, i can tell you that is a good pic and it would be worth it. if you have the full size version, that is something you can print hang on your wall. it just needs some adjusting. some areas are too dark and the alignment between sections is off. send me a message and i will give you my email and more details.
