Panorama experiment

Morning panorama from 8 shots AFF AU 2016-03-19 AFF_HDR.jpg

I only recently started playing with the panorama feature of Affinity Photo. This morning I tried making a panorama from eight photos that needed to be combined vertically as well as horizontally. Within a few seconds, Affinity Photo produced an excellent stitching job, which I then played with a bit in Affinity and in Aurora HDR Pro. My only regret is that I did not make the shots five minutes earlier, when the light on the tops of the trees was much more interesting. I thought I could finish making the coffee, rather than run upstairs with the camera. But good light waits for no one.

RIP Lloyd Shapley

I just saw a post on Facebook by economics Nobel prize recipient Vernon Smith with the information that Lloyd Shapley, a giant in game theory, has died. I am sharing a screenshot of the post and the first comment, which is quite something.
