After looking down Mülheim’s Eduardstrasse, in this test panorama we’re looking up from the lower part. The houses on the left side actually belong to the block where we live in, on the right you can see the school and one of the older houses. It looks a bit barren here in the winter, but in the summer it’s actually very green with all the trees around.

This is the upper part of Mülheim’s Eduardstrasse – well, we call it the upper part because the street runs a bit uphill, but actually this perspective is looking south to north. There are quite a few older houses here, but curiously there have never been any trees here save for the big one at the end of the street.

Before I get sidetracked again like yesterday, here’s another black-and-white tryout panorama, this time from the area of Mülheim’s Kaiserplatz. I took this panorama from a side street where you can see the catholic church tower on the right with the church community buildings going down the street, then some of the buildings on the Kaiserplatz and the connecting Leineweberstrasse and then the curious building with the two towers on each end standing on a triangle between three streets. In the background on the right are two of the four ubiquitous inner city highrises and on the far right you can again see some of the older houses with a few ornaments. This panorama worked out quite well despite the very extreme angles.

This is the last test panorama from Mülheim’s Kämpchenstrasse – again, some of the buildings might seem familiar like the one with the curious tower on the left and the ornamental front on the right. It’s a little bendy on the left side and there is at least one stitching error I only noticed just now, but overall for a test this was pretty successful.

This test panorama actually fits quite well together, but the right side is a little overexposed. It’s again from Mülheim’s Kämpchenstrasse, showing more of the many old houses there. But I wish I had an anti-car-filter so I could get rid of every one of these – then this street would almost look like it was a century ago!

A third test panorama from Mülheim’s Kämpchenstrasse, this time at the crossing with the Paul-Essers-Strasse. You can see the old house with the greek restaurant I showed a couple of posts ago at the far right and some of the houses from the last panorama. The big highrise buildings are right behind me here.

Let’s try a few wide street shots next – this one is a little bent around the edges, but still looks relatively okay. This is part of Mülheim’s Kämpchenstrasse, some of these houses might look familiar because I had already shared a few photos of them before.

I’m going to widen the scope a little and make an experiment by posting some panoramas I’ve taken in the last few weeks. They’re not all completely straight and perfect and basically just test shots, but some turned out pretty good. This one is the view over Mülheim’s Viktoriaplatz with the new city library in the middle and the old postoffice in the background.

How can you make a panorama of a tree? Well, a panorama doesn’t have to be horizontal, you can always make it vertical – I’ve tried this before, but I like this one from mid-February because of the blue sky!

I had nothing but trouble taking this one – after several failed attempts I finally managed to get a row of photos that properly stitches together and I better post it now before I find any new problems with it. I think it has something to do with the fact that the stitching software has trouble putting the network of tree branches together. As you can see, the trees haven’t heard the news yet that it’s spring!
