Troy Floyd

I missed the 60's, American, hate cooked green vegetables but love the taste of a cheese and mustard sandwich, been to 20+ countries, once had a 6-figure salary but quit it to be happy.

Goals in life:

* Sail the Amazon River in my own man made boat from Ecuador to Peru

* Hike Norway on the pilgrimage trail from Oslo to the North for 1 month

* Travel the world by car or motorcycle for 2 years

* Expand my photography skills

* ...and buy a winning lottery ticket!

Think that sums me up pretty much! In all honestly, I'm currently living in Quito, Ecuador. After working long 12hr days, 7 days a week, chasing the wealth dream I finally decided it was time in my life to do something I'm passionate about, PHOTOGRAPHY and TRAVEL!

Weekly Panoramic Photo: Old Town, Quito, Ecuador

Monday, January 18, 2010 at 8:10am Posted in Ecuador, Weekly Panoramic Photo

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Comprised of 4 horizontal photos

I started playing with another new technique that I have been neglecting for a long time. Making panoramic isn’t that hard but does take a conscious thought when out shooting. I mean your not going to be able to get back to your house and when post-editing you find a great picture thinking “wow that would make a great panoramic photo!” Won’t work like that and you have to have the idea in your head before starting to shoot if you want good pano-shots.

So to mix things up, I’m going to try and post one panoramic shot per week now. We’ll see if I can stick with it but a friend turned me onto a good program for stitching photos together, called ArcSoft Panorama Maker 5 Pro. I don’t like all the features of it but it is easy to use and has a free striped down trail version (and free is always good!).

Still need help with people to fill out my survey about this site. It takes 2min, I won’t ask for any personal information and you don’t have to register. So help me out and click here.
