Laguna Beach sunset

Laguna Beach was just selected as one of Smithsonian’s “20 Best Small Towns in America”. From my experience there earlier this week, I can see why it made the cut.

Angels Stadium Panorama

I tried another photomerge with about eight photos I took on Monday night at the Angels-A’s game. This looks much better if you are on a big screen, maximize your browser, and then click on it.

View from Newport Pier

I have about 12 hours worth of driving to do today to return to Southern Oregon from Southern California. There should be a way I could just ride a wave home.

Los Angeles nightscape

After seeing the view from Griffith Observatory during the day, I thought I would head back up there at night for some more photos. However, after the Dodgers game I was able to capture the above from the parking lot at Chavez Ravine so I never made it back up to Griffith Park.

Ultra-wide photo vs. photomerged panorama

At 11mm on my DX (crop sensor) Nikon D7000 today’s top image of Dodger Stadium is pretty wide. But I wanted to see what I could do with photomerge in Photoshop CS5 so I merged/stitched five images from the same vantage point together with the following result.

Not only do I like the result much more, but photomerge did a couple of really cool things. First, with each of the five images, the picture on Diamond Vision in left field changed. I thought photomerge would blend them all together into a mess. Instead, it took just the first one for a clean Diamond Vision scene. Second, players on the field and people in the stands were moving between the five photos. Somehow photomerge detected this and didn’t put multiple versions of the same person into the final scene. Very cool, photomerge. I think I love you. I guess I can ditch my ultra-wide angle lens and just photomerge my future photos together!

Uribe singles in the game winner

I’m down in Los Angeles for a few days and went to my first game at Dodger Stadium last night. I had a nice seat 12 rows behind home plate where I took today’s photo of Juan Uribe singling in the 1st inning. This was the last time the Dodgers scored, and they held on to win 3-2.
