For Scenery on Saturday, this is another three shot Panorama, this time the ocean side of the dunes at Parson’s Beach in Kennebunk Maine. It will benefit from the largest view you can manage, and should open automatically to the width of your monitor if you click the image. I am really liking what the cylindrical stitching does in PhotoShop Elements 9. The view is expansive and yet natural looking…as opposed to what I have done before which always looks to me like a horizontal slice out of a normal image. This is, imho, unmistakably a panorama.

And, of course, the image itself has a lot of interest, beginning with the amazing clouds, the expanse of sand, the tiny people further up the beach, and the cluster of houses on the right. It is not the usual view of the beach, taken, as it is, looking more or less inland, but I like it.

Three exposures from the Canon SX20IS handheld. F4 @ 1/1250th @ ISO 80. Landscape Mode.

Stitched and cropped in PhotoShop Elements 9 using the cylindrical mode. Processed for intensity and clarity in Lightroom.
