Panoramic view of Sharavathi River.from Forest Guest house, Haigunda, Uttarakannada, We were here last week on a boating trail in Sharavathi river from Honnavar to Gerusoppa.This photo was taken from a hill in haigunda village which is an island in Sharavathi river . This hill also houses a small but well maintained guest house of forest dept . Though there is another watch tower adjacent to this guest house which would have provided a better panorama my inherent fear for heights prevented from climbing a small ladder leading to top of watch tower. The picture looks as if taken from a extreme wide angle lens but it is infact taken from a 35 mm prime lens. Actually it is not single photo but a series of 5 photos covering 150degrees of view and these 5 photos are stiched and a panorama is created. This is my first work with panorama and also photo stich. To craete a good panorama we need to take a series of 4-6 pictures covering as much as posssible and using same exposure and not changing any setting. ( Tripod is very essential and keep horizon similiar in all photos . Each subsequent photo should inclde atleast last1/3rd of previous photo and the panorama maker software can auto stich or we can manually stich these photos to get a panorama Your comments are welcome
Another panorama using 3 photos from 18mm focal length
Of course this is not a panorama but a picture we got on our trail. Serene waters of Sharavathi in this trail can very well compete with back waters of Kerala !This water way not yet explored for tourism is to be experienced ! links to photos https://picasaweb.google.com/shrikanthhegde/SharavathiRiver?feat=directlink
