Fort Baker
I fixed it. If you believe it is still tilted please tell me which way and how many degrees?--Two+two=4 (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I still see a very minor tilt. 1.15 degree CCW adjustment should fix that right up though. Great pano work. Julielangford (talk) 18:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks but are you sure. I rotated the original one 1 degree CW. If I am to rotate as you're saying I will be rotating it back.--Two+two=4 (talk)
That will probably depend on which part of the image the eye goes to when judging the horizon. For me, the horizon is that of the sea, in the upper right. That line is about 1.15 degrees out in a clockwise orientation. Julielangford (talk) 19:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also look really close at the vertical posts visible at the mid left [around the buildlings]. It really is tiny, when you look there, but it's there, and makes more of a difference up on the sea horizon. Julielangford (talk) 19:50, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dschwen, please do not keep suspense going on :) Do tell me what side and how many degrees to rotate it to, or beeter yet rotate it yourself please. Thanks.--Two+two=4 (talk) 21:05, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Colours are great on this one, but tilt is worse. 1.5 CCW adjustment should sort it. Julielangford (talk) 23:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Julie. I did as you said. I hope it is fixed now. --Two+two=4 (talk) 23:43, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I did. The image was taken from Golden Gate Bridge as you could see from the image: File:Fort Baker with shadow of Goden Gate Bridge.jpg.--Two+two=4 (talk) 03:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Which incidentally is tilted like crazy as well :-) --Dschwen (talk) 12:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll let go on it. I would not like to cut off the shadow :)--Two+two=4 (talk) 16:06, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You actually shouldn't lose too much of the bridge shadow as it needs a CWW rotation [quite a big rotation though]. The loss would mainly be the upper right and bottom left areas [sky and rock], with some loss on each side. If you make it more panoramic with the crop after rotatstion, it should be great. Julielangford (talk) 17:06, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Julie, thank you. How many degrees I should rotate it to?--Two+two=4 (talk) 17:09, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like you already rotated it by the time I read this, but still needs a further 1.15 degrees. Careful not to lose too much of the sky :) Julielangford (talk) 21:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Man, 2+2 you should really go see a chiropractic ;-). Get that neck straight. Or put some coasters under your monitor (on the left). --Dschwen (talk) 21:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dschwen, I hurt my neck when I tried to figure out what's going on in your image that is nominated just below --Two+two=4 (talk) 02:27, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ha ha! :-D --Dschwen (talk) 03:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The image was taken less than 3 hours before sunset. The sun sets behind the hills so let's take one more hour out. The image was taken from the bridge looking down to the Bay. The sun was positioned about right. --Two+two=4 (talk) 12:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
