Panoramas, A Seven Photo Stitch, the Story Behind My Cover Image

Sup you steemy party peeps! How about that $8 Steem, huh? Feels good. I wanted to tell you the story behind my cover image banner. My camera has a panorama function where you can take a series of pics that overlap each other that you can later attach to each other using a stitching software. It is good to use a tripod for this so that you can horizontally swivel the camera in a straight line, but even if the images are not level with each other you can perform a crop later on. It is best to use 3-5 photos. Any more than that and you have a really long and thin photo, which might be good as a banner, but kind of awkward in general.

Since the software uses overlaps in the pictures to stitch them together it is important there be no disruption in those interfaces. In my pics there are two things that could have gone wrong, the boat was moving and the birds were flying. These issues ultimately did not affect the stitch because: the boat was moving very slowly and the first image with the boat in it had the boat in the middle and out of the stitch overlap region; and amazingly the flying birds were all in only one of the pictures!

If you tell me what island his is I will grant you 10 upvotes, or as many up to 10 as possible...
