Middelburg, Panoramic Stitch

In the past I've provided you with some pano's, created by a panoramic image stitcher. It was a pretty hard job. Because I've downloaded a more recent version of the Image Composite Editor (ICE, version 2.0.3.0), I was curious for the result now. So I did an attempt to create a seamless high-resolution panorama with a set (5) of overlapping RAW photographs (Nikon calls it NEF-files) from a single camera location of a scene (the town of Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands, along a bend in the Canal through Walcheren).

To me the result was achieved very easy now and it's (from technical/editing point of view) very promising, the more that ICE converts the RAW images automatically to a chosen format, in this case the PNG-format. The ICE is a freeware program. If it has your interest too, here's THE LINK to download it. If so, I wish you success with it.

Additional info: taken on: April 18th, 2018, camera body: Nikon D5300, Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-300 1:3.5 - 5.6 G ED VRII with a CP (circular polarization) filter, RC (remote control) device: Nikon ML-L3, tripod: Rollei Photopro, F16 to F18, FL: 18 mm, Exposure time: 1/100', ISO: 100, WB: cloudy.

I have tried that, (But with jpeg's)..a canny program.

You managed to some superb details into all this scene without any distortion, that sometimes comes with 'stitching'!..

Terrific work from you..

Very well done Cornelius - it is a fine image indeed.
I have used ICE for many years - a fabulous programme.
Recent times I have got lazy as one of my cameras does a pano automatically just by panning :)
If anyone needs any further convincing about how good ICE is there is an excellent review of it HERE

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

This is a lovely panorama image and you did a wonderful job here Cornelius. The details are sharp and clear. I think I had also ICE on my PC but had not used it.

A stitched pano, you say? I'll be danged, dinged, and donged if I can see where the stitching is at. For a stitch job, C., this is outstanding. Your control of the technical elements--focus, light, exposure, etc.--really helps the software create a flawless image. I checked your link, though, and discovered I can't use it on my Macs... Dong! Ding! Dang! S&F for me.

Magnificent work SEA. I liked it so much, I downloaded ICE. I generally use Photostitcher in Photoshop. I will give ICE a try.
I love the Panorama you created. The colors are so good and the detail is so sharp.
