Wows for that color range sebboh. And the land fog is amazing, is this natural light or is there any supportive dodge/burn-actions invloved?
Makes one wanna own a helicopter and a steady-cam thingy :-)
it was a pretty amazing scene. no dodging or burning i did jack up vignetting to 100% with a midpoint of 0 to reign in the sky a bit, and of course there is some curves adjustment.
i'm actually restitching it and playing with it still. there's some stitching errors that need correction (around the island and bay bridge) and the colors are blowing on my shi**y monitor but not on the histogram, so i need to check it out on a decent monitor or a quick print.
Only half a pano...40 minutes in to a 2 hour shoot, the wind was so strong that it lifted my tripod (~11lbs with camera) off the ground. Just pretend that the other frame is there and that it turns this into a masterpiece. I went back the next night and shot the entire thing at ISO 1600 instead of ISO 100, thus ruining the shot in an entirely different way.
Hello,
What is everyone using to edit your panos with?
I am asking for both hardware and software wise.
I recently upgraded from an old Dell 4gb RAM XPPro laptop to a new Dell 8gb Win7-64 XPS17 laptop.
A very good upgrade for me!
I use PS CS5 and LR 3.6, 64 bit versions.
Oh, I use MS ICE for pano work, I like it a lot.
This enables me to now to save layered .tiff files, rather than flattening each step.
However, I am very disappointed in the way Win7-64 handles large .tiff files.
This is a widely known problem, when searching via Google.
M$ knows the of this problem also.
Apparently, Vista did not have this problem.
The "file exploder" will quickly consume ALL available memory.
I am frustrated with this bad performance and see no cure for it via searching.
I have started using Q-Dir as my file explorer, or use mc under the Cygwin environment.
How in the world does everyone use the huge .tiff files in Win7-64 environment?
I haven't, as yet, found the solution...
Straight JPGs shot with Canon G10 (looking forward to that new G1X), at longest focal length equiv. to 112mm, F/4.5 @ ISO 80. Cropped from 53 vertical images (stalled-out PSE8, hence the use of ICE). PP in LR3 following stitching. Very sharp in the details such as the tree branches. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c80/gunzorro/IMG_3278_stitch-2-2.jpg
Nice crop -- it is technically a pano!
