Gadget Report: Canon Photostitch panoramic images
Only two achievements worth reporting this weekend. Firstly, we planted an apple tree and tidied the garden. And then, we took a series of images using the new EOS350D. These were taken in a sweep from one side of the garden to the other, beyond the widest setting of the 18mm lens. They were then automatically composited together using the Canon Photostitch software that came with the camera. The results are impressive.
You may be able to spot that the wall is a little wobbly. The software got the join slightly wrong. Otherwise, it is a good representation of our moderately wide garden.
Notice the new apple tree (edible dwarf crab apple) on the right.
The hollihocks, hydrangea, budlea and other plants are flowering well at the back.
The herb bed is also doing well.

The garden is looking great Rob. That looks a nice healthy tree.
What a clever camera.
Peter still isn't sure that he shouldn't have gone for a neon glow with the fence paint

It's a longshot BUT…
I am looking for a copy of Photostitch 3.1 to replace my flaky 2.1 version. A google search turned up your gardening page!
As I do not own a Canan camera and do not wish to lie to Canon UK and claim that I do but have lost the CD etc etc I wonder if you are on Broadband if you could email me a copy?
Many thanks and will understand perfectly if you can't.
Garden looks tidy by the way.

Impressive stitching. That's a CCD focal lengthof 18mm, not a 35mm focal plane focal length – as it is, stitched, the photo could be taken with an 18mm 35mm lens. I should have one soon – so we'll see.
When's the next Barbie?
