#20 - Yourself

Well - it’s not quite how I intended it ending up …. but. hey-ho, here it is.

I’ll have to try again to get what I really wanted, but it’s slightly better than the last time I tried a totally manual pano with multi-appearance selfies …

… but the piece de resistance bottom image won’t include how ever I try, and several of the others needed tweaking, or completely manually aligned, in PTGui (ICE was just totally confused. Strange.) … and since I only have the trial version, the choice was a hi-res version with their name watermarked all over it, or a screen grab with the vertical and horizontal line on it. I went for the latter since, as a fail, hi-res won’t really fix the issues.
The main problem was the vertical angle between the rows of images.

Edit: One thing I’ve realised, as a result of having to do a lot of manual alignment of the images, the process of moving for each image took quite a bit of time, and the clouds were resulting in some images have bright sun and shadows, then another with no sun/shadows. That meant ICE, and a couple of other image stitchers weren’t able to fathom what was happening.
Another time I need it to be constantly sunny, or constantly clouded over.
