However what happened when I read and enjoyed the post was that I closed it and went away still thinking about it and in particular about, well, actually, about most of it. And I simply forgot to comment. It was only when I was pondering the method of Hero and Heroine that I realised I'd not commented.<br /><br />Your two ploughing posts have been right up there in my favourites league.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-68818206628288535652010-10-11T20:05:30.696+01:002010-10-11T20:05:30.696+01:00Love that second shot of the tractors lined up for...Love that second shot of the tractors lined up for battle.<br />Hero and Heroine; a couple of meaty looking engines.

It hauled their rides and the living van and generated electricity. The ploughing engines were used in pairs for ploughing. Single ones were used for clearing trees. There are many others which just powered machinery.<br /><br />J-on-tour, There are trophies, it's taken very seriously. There are dozens of different classes and at this level very little to separate the competitors. The top few from this event can compete at European and World level so it is an expensive business.<br /><br />Mark, thanks for this, I am not really having problems just pushing Photoshops latest. When I first started, only a few years ago, I was using a tripod and considering a panoramic tripod head. These are shot handheld and with a silly filter on. Were I thinking of printing then I would work differently. I will certainly look at ICE. I used to use PTAssembler it was great in that it had anchor points. Will have another look. These weren't even cropped but auto filled Where 4GB+ of RAM comes in handy.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-67400477378314713742010-10-11T16:50:09.132+01:002010-10-11T16:50:09.132+01:00If you're having problems with the panoramas t...If you're having problems with the panoramas then you should definitely try out Microsoft's free <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ICE/" rel="nofollow">ICE</a> tool. It's not always perfect but it is so simple to use and could certainly correct some of the bowing in the thresher image (choose rotating and then click the adjust button on the toolbar).<br /><br />If you need full control then <a href="http://www.tawbaware.com/ptasmblr.htm" rel="nofollow">PTAssembler</a> is the best tool I've come across but that isn't free (currently $45) and certainly isn't as easy to get to grips with as ICE.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-42963403672342623472010-10-11T16:31:03.520+01:002010-10-11T16:31:03.520+01:00I've never seen anything as unusual as this be...I've never seen anything as unusual as this before.
