- Description
-
This is a true HDR panorama made from a five-image bracket (-2 to 2EV) of each image. The image sets were batch processed in Photomatix and then sharpened in Photoshop before stitching. The panorama shows moderate flooding of Harriet Island in the foreground. See gigapan.org/gigapans/45623/ for another view from this location.

Tom, too bad that your St. Paul, Minnesota and my Houston, Texas don't have the historical flavor that Bath, England has for Kilgore661, but both of us really put our heart in to our projects and it really shows in your GigaPans ... great panorama.

It wasn't as hard as I'd feared, Robert. I batch-converted the RAW brackets in Photomatix, then ran a Photoshop action to sharpen and slightly saturate the resulting files. (I wish I'd warmed the color as well.) Then I stitched the files in Stitch.

Tom, I was here about noon on 3/26 and it was bitter cold on the bridge with a stiff wind. Your pan has a kind of watercolor look to it very cool. I have done HDR's but not with this camera or of a panorama. Sounds like a lot of work. Nice job.
