Nostalgic in Manipal (2) - An experiment gone awry

Well, I kicked lots of dust about this "wide-angle-snaps". Actually its nothing but a panoramic view. All one has to do (as I explained to my friends) - "Click snaps one after another, each snap having atleast 30% of the layout common with the previous one. Then merge them together. Simple!!" One thing I did not take into consideration was the warping of snaps that form the edges. So here i am, with "oval" snaps, the middle snap not aligning with the ones on its left and right, and many more falacies...


Check out the guy near the main gate in grey... the same guy can be seen near the right side of the picture on the foot path as well!!! And what about the lady behind the pair in the foreground? Now thats ghostly!!! :)


The rings are not overlapping :( and is a absolute giveaway in an otherwise good looking pic. I guess that will need some 'photoshop'ing!!!!

the ovaling effect is due to the fact that the lens does nto take a flat image. it always curves the images at the edges. Simple optics...

Now what if i try to match the edges of such "curved-on-edges" images? I get a oval image (assuming i take the middle image as the base).
