Trying out Autostitch Panorama iPhone app on iPhone 4.
The trick to get to it stitch nicely is to rotate the camera along it's axis, and not physically rotate yourself. If you rotate yourself with your arm outstretched, you change the position of the near and far subjects too much, which will cause objects to be ghosted. This can normally be correct on the more sophisticated desktop app, but not with the simpler iPhone app.

Next step is to try the 360 pano from video app.

I just came back from a recent family trip down to Vermont and New Hampshire for fall colours. I didn't get too many photos this time, but I did manage to discover a really nice small town: Woodstock, Vermont. With it's beautiful old buildings and white picket fences, I'd love to see what it would look like at Christmas time. Not to mention it has the best sandwich shop I have ever been in. Seriously, I would drive down there just for another sandwich.

If you happen to be near Woodstock, VT, make a pitstop at http://www.woodstockfarmersmarket.com/ and grab a sandwich. And their apple pie. The best apple pie I've ever had too!

He didn't seem too frightened of me as I gradually got in closer and closer while taking pictures. In fact, he was down right cheeky, sticking his tongue out at me! I'm sure in the last photo he's saying "You looking at me? You LOOKING at me?!".

I'm really happy with the Nikon 105mm VR Macro. I never thought VR on a macro lens would be all that useful, but for hand-held closeups it's been great. For more detailed macro you definitely want to go with a focusing rail and tripod setup, but it's great to be able to quickly snap off some of closeups of interesting things you might stumble upon.

The air is brisk and cool, the light is magical, and everything has dew or frost on it.

This morning I was able to stagger out of bed early enough and catch the morning light on a trail not too far from my house. Here's a few images I captured while trying out my new 105mm Macro lens.
