sailing panorama

here is a panorama shot on a tall ship while it was sailing along ...
http://www.mediavr.com/wind.htm

shot on Sydney Harbour yesterday as we were about to
go under the Harbour Bridge

here the technical issues were mainly complex shadows,
direct sunshine contrast and the need
to shoot the sequence very quickly because of the moving
platform

I used a tripod here

for camera location I chose a piece of the deck which
 was pretty plain - so
I could fabricate some nadir shadows and detail without
too much work

first I made a shot with the camera looking directly into the
sun with the sun shaded by my hand held like a blade from
one side of the frame -- then a shot without my hand to
get the rigging obscured by my hand

I then crouched down for the shots with the sun behind me
 so my own shadow was less identifiably human ... and retouched 
out the tripod leg
shadows  

mostly I used shore and deck features to stitch with as I thought
the rigging and sails might be moving around too much

... I used 6 shots altogether shot in about 6 seconds ... we were
going very slowly actually on calmish water ... any faster or
any more swell and it would have been very difficult to stitch

(there are still a one or two errors to go I know ... )
