Point Lobos
I believe I did. Have you checked it?--Mbz1 (talk) 19:24, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it very curved right now... -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 19:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Another try is in. If it still not straight, it is just an optical illusion :) Seriously, if it still not straight, please fix it, somebody --Mbz1 (talk) 20:21, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If it's a stitch, I'd be happy to help if u trust me enough to send me original pictures. - Benh (talk) 18:07, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the Earth is curved... –Juliancolton | Talk 15:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing special??? How many landscape shots one could call "sexy" . On a more serious note. I do not think it is still curved. I checked it. IMO it looks fine. What you see as a curved horizon is just an optical illusion --Mbz1 (talk) 18:48, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, "Nothing special" is rather a subjective thing... and for this reason we could debate endlessly. I believe anyone could take this (including myself, I've taken some, and even upload a few to wiki, albeit maybe not as impressive), and u've proven you could take shots not so many of us here could. As for the horizon, I can even see this on thumbnail. I've moved the horizon against the bottom border of my monitor: either my monitor or the horizon is curved. In case it's the horizon, you can fix it. I also repeat my proposition to help. If it's my monitor, I'll try to see if my warranty covers this, or have a look at the specs again (was it actually flat screen ?) - Benh (talk) 21:44, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, Benh, if you'd like to work with the image, please do. Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:52, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I was more thinking about restitching it ;-), but up to you - Benh (talk) 05:15, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's curved — I just checked in GIMP, and the left and right ends of the horizon are both about 12 pixels lower than the midpoint. Compared to all the other work that must've gone into creating this, restitching with a couple of horizontal rules shouldn't be too hard (although I can understand your reluctance to do it if you've done a lot of postprocessing after stitching). —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 11:46, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
