Hugin for panoramas: GW2 edition
Wednesday 6th of June 2018
A long while back I wrote a guide to using the free panorama software Hugin with World of Warcraft screenshots. This guide is basically just an updated version of that, only using Guild Wars 2 as the screenshot source since I don’t play WoW any more. Get Hugin Hugin can be downloaded from its SourceForge page: https://hugin.sourceforge.io/ Install it in the usual manner – the default options are…

A side-blog
Monday 25th of April 2016
I’ve posted some Guild Wars 2-related things here before , but mostly this is a place for my photography and sometimes software dev stuff, so I’ve avoided posting too much GW2 things here. Up til now this has meant I’ve just not posted GW2 things anywhere, but after some prompting I’ve set up a Tumblr: https://dailytyria.tumblr.com/ It’s basically just a place I can post the hundreds of screens…

[WoW] Field Photographer: Pandaria, Outland and Draenor
Sunday 15th of March 2015
The final part! Part one : Eastern Kingdoms, and part two : Kalimdor and Northrend, were quite a bit longer than this one, since there’s only ten pictures for these three maps combined. Seems a bit odd really that there aren’t more Draenor locations in particular, given that the achievement itself is part of the expansion. At some point next week I might also write a brief post about how I edite…

[WoW] Field Photographer: Eastern Kingdoms
Friday 13th of March 2015
The latest patch, 6.1, of World of Warcraft introduced the S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera , and a related achievement: Field Photographer , where you have to take a selfie in all the listed locations. I’d originally planned to do one post for each continent, but since they all have widely varying numbers of locations, I’m grouping them as Eastern Kingdoms Kalimdor and Northrend Pandaria, Outland and Draeno…

[WoW] Guide: using Hugin for panoramic screenshots
Thursday 17th of October 2013
Quick link: Hugin Panoramas are cool – they show a much wider/taller view than it’s possible to capture in one shot, and do so in a way that doesn’t have the same weird rectilinear or fisheye distortion you get from regular wideangle or fisheye lenses. Here’s an example of what I mean: Trial of the Crusader panorama If you actually go to the instance and stand in the same spot, you’ll notice r…
