Excerpt

Description

Love taking beautiful photos? Love making beautiful panoramic photos?

In this talk, Tim Harder will draw on his eight years of experience with FOSS photography tools and panoramic photography to introduce you to all of the crazy cool things you can do with FOSS photography tools. Starting off with the basic use cases for Hugin, an open source panorama stitching software suite, Tim will take you through the basics of creating panorama photos, followed up with a discussion of advanced stitching techniques and using Hugin to create high-dynamic-range (HDR) images. He’ll also explore the wonderful world of open source viewers and related software that belong in the panoramic photographer’s “camera case.”
