Panoramic Shots

[Fergie]

Guess I don't see the inconsistency?

Can someone point it out for me... looks pretty seemless.

It may be my colorblindness, but the sky has a marked difference in the color of blue at the saddle between the 3rd and 4th peaks. I could be brain effing it.

Three panoramas from Hovenweep.

Yeah, that is pretty sweet. One of the few examples of HDR that actually works nicely IMO. Well done indeed!

Here's one from yesterday...teaching camera controls outside right before it started to snow.

It has been a while since I built a Stitched-Pano. I will have to pull one out when I get home.

Here is one that was not stitched.


Here is another non-stitched pano.

That is uber impressive! Did you pan while firing the shutter quickly? This shot(s) outstanding. I'm still scratching my head as to how you managed this...

Not HDR, that image is blended by hand using layer masks and fuzzy brush.
There is a gaussian blur overlay kicking up the contrast and saturation, this is also blended in by hand only where and how much I think improves the image.

HDR images tend to destroy shadows and contrast, and leave halos around objects, I actually like shadows and contrast in my images.

I use HUGIN to do my stitching, GIMP to do the final blending.

Here are a couple from Cortez Colorado looking up at Mesa Verde taken from the same spot, first in March of 2006 and second in September of 2006.

That's the best kind of HDR there is. Blended by hand = true understanding of the craft. Still very nice.

Here's the shot prior to stitching. Six individual shots. I have been doing some very large panoramas out on the Great Salt Lake like this for the past two years or so. I have since given up digital panoramas, and digital photography in general now that I have my 4x10 and 8x20 film cameras. I was doing platinum prints with my 12th graders today. Mmmmmm....platinum!

But, I still like to play with the little digital camera and put together fun little digi-panos like this one.
