American Falls

North Tonawanda

Along side the Erie Canal at the corner of Webster and Sweeney Streets. Four image pano merged in ACR and finished in Aurora 2019.

Pano Niagara

Odd the sign doesn't mention Prospect Point.

Pictures with the Grandchildren

Using the same lighting diagram as below.

Kids move around a lot faster so it's harder for the speedlights to keep up but no cords to deal with so that helps.

I added some matching colors and texture to the background on the last one just for experimentation.

Niagara Rapids

Just more testing and experimenting with ACR merge to panorama modes.

Slap me Silly

Another 4 image pano of the rapids above the falls. I am super impressed with the Merge to Panorama mode in ACR. Maybe it's my old laptop or the program but it does take awhile for the images to merge, but when they do I am like wow great picture. Then a little polishing in Photoshop or Aurora 2019 and you're done.

This is a 3 image pano converted to B&W. You may click on any picture to enlarge.

Panoramas Scmanoramas

Here is an interesting tid bit I found in Camera Raw yesterday that I never knew existed. I can now make panoramas in Camera Raw direct instead of exporting to Photoshop.

Bring your selected pano images into Camera Raw and go to the top left menu and select all your images.

Then you also get the option to automatically enhance the images. I tried it out and it does a fine job cleaning them up. If you prefer to do it yourself just bypass this step.

Now choose Merge to Panorama and Camera Raw takes over all the heavy work and it seems to do a better job than Photoshop or any outside pano merge software I've tried. It does take longer but it automatically fixes a lot of things like content aware fill, perspective, layers etc. It gives you before previews which is really nice.

This is the final product. Made with the three images. I was pleasantly pleased with the results. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
