Geograph - photograph every grid square

These hills south of Grantham are among the highest land in Lincolnshire, actually part of the long limestone ridge that runs toward Lincoln itself.


This is around 180 degrees of panorama, the "subject" marker being roughly at the centre of the arc, and the country lane known as Village Street visible on either extremity, eastwards on the left and westwards on the right. On the left is 'square plantation' and on the right the spire of Skillington church.

This panorama was made by stitching eight 28Mpixel images from the Samsung NX500 using the 12..24mm lens at 12mm focal length, which would have been 18mm on a 35mm SLR. The stitching was done with Microsoft ICE yielding a composite of 16421x3745 pixels, which was further reduced by downscaling in the application to 9647x2200 pixels to fit within the Geograph file size limit. The larger composite is available on request, and can be seen in a pannable viewer at Link

It has been my recent habit to add comparative versions of these panoramas produce with other techniques, and there is a similar view produced in-camera with NX500 at SK9026 : Panorama of High Lincolnshire.

I also try to use the built-in panorama mode of my Nexus Phone. That normally produces a decent alternative, but in this instance it appears to have distorted the actual horizon. You can see that one for comparison at Link
