There are things you want to challenge yourself, how far you can stretch your imagination. I was working on a different panoramic stitching. This is my first attempt to do horizontal panorama.

This photo is a combination of four horizontal frames and merged into vertical view.
This next photo is totally vertical, three frames. The outcome is not that great, IMHO, and I want to practice more.
I must agree, the clouds were showing off that day! Waiting anxiously for the cherry blossoms to bloom!

Ebie, I like when you post these Japanese Gardens – so green already! Did you use the vertical panorama on your camera before stitching? I am also having great difficulty with the anti-spam words! It takes 2x as long to comment and half the time I get them wrong.

Love the garden photos. It’s a beautiful place.
Many of us are having problems deciphering the word verifications. I just guess half of the time and mostly they work!

Thank-you Ebie for telling me about the problem on my blog re: the comments. I like to receive comments and was wondering what happened.
Since I cannot figure out how to re engage the comments , I just sent a message to the Administrators of WordPress and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that they will ” reset my blog to allow comments”. Funny, comments are accepted on my ” about” page. What a mystery!!
