That's an interesting first post. There's so much wrong about this shot yet I really like it. By wrong I mean it's spherically distorted and that car is in several places at once, yet as a whole it all works. Not to mention the blurred people in the joins.

And welcome to the other half of another husband and wife duo on the forum.

What camera did you use?

Edit: And I'd crop the right ever so slightly to remove the object sticking into the sky a little in the top right corner

i used my new Canon IXUS 50 that i bought for our holiday.

thanks for your comments...i had no idea when taking the photos whether it would even be able to be put together so im quiet proud that it worked. :lol:

Interestingly its actually 2 different cars driving through the shot, which causes the crazy ghost affect.

Oh yeah!! It is 2 different cars. I think this shot is awesome. What software do you use to do this? Can it be done in PS?

welcome to the forum. This photo is funky even though you may have intended a perfect stitch the duplicated cars add that conceptual aspect to the scene, nice work!

Craig you must be a happy man work sends you off to exotic locations with your wife and you two have a hobby to share now that's the great Australian Dream.

The software used is Panorama Factory, do a search on the forum and you get lots of examples of it in use, and useful information.

Welcome Katie.

I too think there are a number of things technically wrong with this image, but you've produced a great effect.

Well done. Looking forward to seeing some more of your posts.

Narh mate, she's just a bit shy, plus I hog the laptop when we get home :)

Her PC I'm afraid rarely gets used for internet browsing....
