Weird blur in panorama photo's


Recommended Posts

I've previously shot 200+ photo's to stitch into a panorama photo of NYC from manhattan and one from brooklyn. One was also done in seattle and from mt rainier.

It seems that post stitching there are weird blurs/smudge/"fog" like effects in the final photos. Does anyone know why this is happening? 

I just shot rainier on friday and for that reason i believe there are weird blurs is because i didnt use manual mode and shot with fixed settings. However, for NYC they were fixed settings in manual mode so there shouldn't be any blurs.

Attached image of rainier and a section of nyc fogginess (highlighted in the redbox. I just noticed in the NYC photo part of the water is different and shifted, but thats not the general issue im facing with panoramas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.nycexmaple.thumb.png.0eace1ee08eb538f6e08b1b064ab49c1.png

I would try to stitch only a few images covering that areas, and inspect those images for any potential issues:

  • to they have same exposure settings / brightness in those areas?
  • do you use RAW files for stitching? If yes, it is better to develop them (and save as tiff/16) before, to get the full RAW engine 
  • does any of the source images show defects (blurriness etc)?
  • too long time span between shots could lead to e.g. clouds or other moving objects change too much
  • enough overlap in images?
  • how many images do you use to stitch one final image?
  • when you talk about manual settings, does this refer to camera settings or stitching settings?
  • it is best practice to have a fixed aperture setting at least during capture

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.
