This one was taken on the corner of Main and Third in Phoenixville. I suggest you interact with it. I’m going to interact with a comic and then I plan on interacting with my pillow.
This one was an absolute bear to stitch. In the future I’ll avoid shooting directly beneath massive amounts of intersecting utility lines. The bulk of the stitching went pretty quickly, but cleaning up the wires in Photoshop took forever. This is also my first attempt at using Photomatix to get a tone mapped image from three different exposures. I’m unimpressed with most of the tone mapped images that seem to be tickling everyone’s fancy currently. I was attempting to accurately recreate the scene rather than make the digital equivalent of a black velvet painting. Overall I’m pretty happy with it, but I still want to continue to tweak my settings a little bit. Right now I’m going to go tweak my pillow.
Be sure to see the interactive version too.
I added some more georeferenced (geocoded, geotagged) photos of Phoenixville from last week. You can ignore the entire set here.
I’ve been pretty enthused about geocoding images lately. Granted, I was already a fan a of geotagging my images using Flickr, but the idea of recording a photo’s location data via GPS and embedding it directly to the EXIF data is just so much cooler. I’ve been strolling around with the now discontinued, but perfectly capable Garmin ETrex Legend C. I’m downloading my tracks and mapping the location to my photos using the time in the EXIF header with the fantastic, free app GPSPhotoLinker. It’s certainly much easier, and faster than trying to manually map each photo, which is exactly why I only had a handful of geotagged photos up until this point.
You can see my first set of images taken around Phoenixville and coded using this technique here, or on my Flickr map. There’s also a link on each photo’s page that will allow you to view the location on Google Maps or fly to the location using Google Earth (which you surely have already installed right?).
You can also read a lot more on the subject including other techniques for coding/tagging your photos here and probably a gajillion other places on the web.
