Nice panos - thanks for passing along, but I do have one question... do
you use the clone tool to hide all the litter?  I've tried it for shots
here in the U.S. and each shot takes weeks to get rid of it all.

Very nicely done! I especially like the one done on the street side of
the Ritz, with a few people looking at the camera, and everyone else
going about their business.

Once you've set up your tripod and pano head, how long does it take to
execute all the frames?

Thank you.

Did you take time to visit other villages or Nice ?

Well the more time consuming part is to setup the tripod ;-)
You have to level the panoramic head with an air buble to be sure that
the panorma is well horizontal.

Then you look at high light and low light in the panorama to figure out
the exposure. I usually expose for high light (with no or some over
exposure in part that is not important for the picture).
I only have to take 10 pictures to cover the whole 360° * 180°. It take
between 2 and 5 minutes maybe. It mostly depend if a lot of people are
present on the picture or not in fact.

Well making a panorama like the one I have shown take between 10 min (if
you are lucky) to few hours (in most case - I should not be lucky enough
;-) ).

I don't have to use the clone tool. I have the 8 picture on 8 layers.
I paint on the layer mask to let the good part of the image be present
on the final image.

Did you want a link for a tutorial showing the whole process ?

Cher Philippe,

Your pictures are magnificent, and bring back many memories of trips to
Cannes from our home near New York City. These trips started when ***
Michelin Guide restaurants such as The Oasis and Baumaniere and Auberge
du Pere Bise cost about $12.00 for a full meal with wine. We always
enjoyed the twin shops of Ernest in Cannes, with the wonderful pates and
the great baked goods.

Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Morton Linder

Wonderrful work, Philippe. You obviously put a lot of effort and talent
into them. Do you have any of the beach at St. Tropez? I have very fond
memories of that beach.

Merci. Did you understand my "French"?? <s>

Are you going to full frame as soon as Nikon puts one out?

Oui très bien ;-)

It is no so easy to speak another language if you have little
opportunities to speak.

Continue !

> Are you going to full frame as soon as Nikon puts one out?

The question is the price.
For me the Canon 5D was too expensive.
As Nikon is almots at Canon price tag, I don't think so.

I will prefer to by some new lens and wait for second generation full
frame (if a first ever appears).
