Hello Flexers,
We have been in Tokyo for the last few days visiting our son and his
wife and taking pictures of the cherry blossoms.
We were a few days early for the best blossoms but did our best
around the Imperial Palace park in the center of Tokyo.
Here are three simple three panel panos - all taken handheld with
the M8 and the Tri Elmar on our last day in Tokyo (which was yesterday).

Hi Howard!
The detail in these shots is absolutely astounding ... more so
because I'd expect that level of sharpness only with a tripod or
monopod.... yet you have managed it, hand held.
Well done!
Did you simply allow sufficient overlap when shooting? Or do you
have a secret for doing it without a pano head, that you're willing to share?
It will soon be apple blossom time, in Japan. Oh, how I love
southern Japan, in apple blossom time...
No apple blossoms here ... after days of spring-like weather, which
melted almost all the snow, yesterday morning we had 2 inches (5cm)
of fresh snow. It all melted by noon, then dumped another inch on
us... which then melted away. By 4 PM it had started to hail, which
changed to snow. It all melted, overnight, but now, at 7 AM, it
has just started to snow, once again!
We are usually finished with snow, by half-past March and I'm ready
for spring. Where is "global warming" when you want it????
Thanks for your lovely Panos, Howard. At least it's spring, in Tokyo!
Cheers!
