Title: Creating Matching Day & Night Panoramas
Post by: JoeKitchen on March 22, 2023, 08:27:14 am

Good Day everyone, I am looking for a public tutorial on how to create matching panoramas of the same scene captured at least a hour apart that would involve using a panorama head without moving the tripod and stitching together at least two captures, ensuring both panoramas line up as perfectly as possible. 

I of course know how to do this but I may have to defend, in court, that this process is common enough to not be a trade secret. 

As an aside, learn from me and don't do work for a crazy client.

Try googling... plenty of sources:

Sorry, Joe, I can't help you.

I only work for a crazy client (me!)

No worries Eric, just dont take on anymore.

Anyway, I have found several youtube videos, including one that is a TED Talk by Stephen Wilkes, showing the exact process.  He does not have a case, but that does not mean it will not cost me money fighting.  Ahhh, the good old legal system.

This doesn't have a How-To but it's a post I made over on PhotoPxl after watching a Steve Wilkes interview there. 

So it's not so much more ammunition for instructional articles but more to show that the technique has been around for some time (as the Google search also shows).

I think you might need an account to view the images in the post.
