Photos / Bridge and Bay panoramas

The weather has been getting nicer, so I’ve been jumping at any chance to ride my bike. Last Thursday morning, I rode across the Golden Gate Bridge and up into the Marin Headlands as the sun was coming up, and I stopped to take some photos as it was peeking above the horizon.

When I was going through the results, I realized that the individual pictures didn’t really do justice to the moment, so I poked around the Internet looking for something better than Photoshop’s stitching utility. Autostitch to the rescue! It’s simple, straightforward, and it instantaneously produces panoramas without discernible seams even with just a few pictures.

(I was so intrigued by the above results that I decided to try it with cellphone pictures). Last Saturday, we had a picnic at Kirby Cove, a little valley on the Marin side of the bridge. It was foggy and cold for the first hour or so, but then it started to burn off and I took some photos with my little cell phone camera. Once again, Autostich worked magic on it. Here’s to technology!
