Pannorama Experiment

[foxgrrl]

Remember how I was mentioning that I shot a panorama of a thunderstorm over Las Vegas, from the top of a mountain, at sunset. This is one set of shots, there's another one with a larger vertical angle of view. This set was also shot as HDR (i.e. three sets of bracketed exposures.) But I need to pay €70 for this program to be able to recognize that. So, this is it merging the bracketed exposures together, just like regular shots, and everything else is still set to the defaults. So if you look closely, you'll see weird artifacts. I'll redo this later when I have time.

In hindsight, I also should have moved to the other side of that truck, so that it wasn't in the interesting part of the frame. (Or far enough away to be small and ignorable.)

Oh, and also, I didn't mark this spot on my GPS, because I figured I could easily find it again on Google Maps or something. So… I'm not sure, but I think this was shot from about 35.434537,-115.700626.

Those are fantastically gorgeous clouds, nicely captured. Well done.

(Personally, I edited my friendslist style so that if people post superwide it only affects their entry, and not everyone else's, so HA! But most people don't seem to do that.)

I was going to say lovely, but it's taken. *grins*

Gorgeous.

The effect is panoramic, like a wide-screen film still. The only distracting element is a line slightly to the left of the center that bisects the photo. I guess that is where you spliced two different photos together.

The picture is otherwise awesome in the original sense of that word.

That's actually a very tall lamp post. (You know, one of those big big street lights, like the kind they have a big-rig brake test stations.)

I like the location with the truck. Great work hon.

Photoshop has an HDR batch function- I'm not too sure about Gimp, but I expect you can find a plugin for that.
