Davidsons Mill Pond Park Panoramas

We have quite a few Parks by us but our Favorites are Davidson Mill Pond Park & Plainsboro Preserve. Many times we just like to get a nice walk so I just use my iPhone 11 Pro to capture images that look interesting instead of carrying a lot of camera gear. There are also a lot of beavers in this Park so you often see trees that have been “chewed” down laying on the ground. Also you see lots of Beaver Lodges in the water areas. In this post I am posting Multi-Image Panoramas taken with the iPhone 11 Pro. I do not use the “Panorama” mode because it distorts the Pano Images on the beginning & ends too much. I get better “Results” taking a Series of Individual Images and using Photoshop to automatically combine them. I have found that using more overlapping of the images works better than less overlapping of the iPhone images. The Featured Image is 12 Individual Images taken with the iP11 Pro with the 6mm lens. I loaded all the images into one Layered Photoshop File. Then Aligned & Blended them in Photoshop automatically by loading them into a layered Photoshop File & letting Photoshop do all the work of aligning & blending.

Panoramas From Davidsons Mill Pond Park & Plainsboro Preserve

I have been upgrading computer systems and added a new amazing Mac laptop for a more mobile use. I was amazed that the panoramas in this post only took 6 to 10 seconds to align and blend for the Multi-Image panorama. I was using an Olympus OM-1 with a Panasonic 100-300mm lens @100mm and 300mm.. The Featured image is a 20 Image Pano.

Lady Bug On Thistle

During a walk at Davidsons Mill Pond Park we noticed this Lady Bug on a Thistle. I thought it looked interesting against the textures on the Thistle. Also it sort of had the same roundish shape as the Thistle. I was traveling light with a 300mm f/4 lens on a Canon 1D mkIV.
