Here you'll find just a few of the panoramas I've created for myself and other APCD designers.
If you see something here that might help inspire your next APCD design, e-mail me and I'll try to get the 5mb+ zip file to you. If you are a subscribing member of apcd-courses.com, you can download it directly from that site. |

Atlantic Point
I created this oceanside pano for Mike Jones.
I started with a couple of screen shots taken from the Gleneagles course and built around those for a countryside feel along a coastline.
|
Oceanside3
I created this one for a fellow designer who has since decided to scrap the course. The pano has lots of fields and houses, along with low trees, shrubs and bushes upon a rolling terrain.
Reminds me of Ireland with the emerald greens. |

Parkland2
This one was used for a great design named "Bull Run". Its a tree line peppered with a few residences and a cityscape in the background.
It also has some rolling hills behind a section of the tree line.

Bear Trace
I created this one for Randy McMinn and his (soon to be released) Bear Trace course. I really like the way it worked up. The tree line will save a lot of planting time and won't be discolored
with shadowing. It should allow more color to come through the necessary foresting done with the design. |

Xilver Retreat
This is the pano I created for the course I'm currently working on. I used the tree line from the Bear Trace pano and worked up some fields, houses and rivers (or lakes) for a nice background.
This one has a great sense of distance without pulling the eye from the tree line. |

Xilver Plaine
This is the very first pano I ever created. It served as a great backdrop and created several excellent vistas on my second 18 hole design. I just can't imagine Xilver Plaine without it.
Perhaps, another designer could use it once again. |

Xilver Canyon
I created this pano for a course I started and never finished. As the course neared completion, several other desert canyon courses were released and talk on the boards seemed to
cry out for something different. I will most likely never finish my course, but another designer might find this nice pano of use with his/her design. |

There are more.
I have spent many hours collecting, scanning and blending photos together for panoramas. Several more are completed. Several are in one stage or another
Rarely will you find that a simple install of a pano will provide the "look and feel" you are trying to achieve. Many times the pano will need to be adjusted for the best possible fit.
This may require rotating the pano, raising or lowering the pano image, and even altering certain areas for color match.
Most of the time I can make these adjustments quickly and easily when given enough helpful information from the designer. If you want help in fitting a pano to your design, contact me.
And, just so everyone knows, all my panos are available to subscribing members of apcd-courses.com and can be directly downloaded from that site. |
