Homer Alaska, Mountain Success, sort of
I was not real pleased with the pano from last week. This week I am a lot more happy. Two views, two pictures, 16 pictures in total all stitched up together. Each image below is comprised of 8 pictures. Why 8, well thats how many the program I use allows.
This first image is from the "End of The Road", on Homer Spit. Slightly left of center is a small area of really roughed up water, like the wake of a boat. many people talk about a ghost boat haunting the end of the spit, harassing the seagulls and the otters. No one has ever actually seen the boat itself, just the wake. The building on the right edge of the photo is the Lands End Resort, a pretty popular tourist place, some nice views on the back porch, been years since we have been in there, maybe will try it again before the tourist get here in full swing. This set of Pictures were steadied by the tripod and hands free clicker. I am trying a lot of different things out, I learn best through trial and error, and boy do I make a lot of errors when learning.
This next pano was taken close to the Seafarers Monument from its parking lot. Here we get to see what the mountains on the other side of the Lands End resort look like. I should have made the picture above the same size as this one, but I didn't, oh-well. This set of Pictures were hand held.
O-kay, about the ghost boat, as far as I know there is no ghost boat that haunts the harbour, there could be, but if there is I have not heard about it. The boat wake and missing boat is from the boat being in one picture, but not the next is all I can figure out as to why it disappeared from the image, in the pano above leaving only the wake in view.
Still it would make an interesting story, the Homer portal to nowhere.
I think this odd effect from my pano program was caused by the center image being a little bit bigger than the outside images, just thought it was a cool effect of the learning process, an error that is kind of artsy.
As you can see, it was a pretty nice weather day in Homer. The Top of the Hill Pullout was pretty much a frozen mess, so we did not stop there.
