A little snow (and AutoStitch)
Monday, February 26th, 2007
Well it’s starting to thaw now, but since last Thursday large parts of the country has been nearly in state of emergency because of heavy snow (by the standards here). Thursday until Sunday it has been almost impossible to get anywhere. All bus routes were cancelled for four days, but not completely without reason; see the picture to the right. This was the first real snow this winter, so maybe it came as a surprise for those responsible for snow removal.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this little gem. It’s a program called AutoStitch, which makes it really easy to create panoramas from a series of pictures. You basically just point and shoot a series of pictures that overlap a little, and when they’re fed into the program it automatically figures out how they fit together. It works really well and is damn fast compared to other panorama software I’ve used before. Below are some panoramas I made with it. (I cheated a little with the sky, because the originals didn’t cover enough—that’s also why the composition is a little messed.)
