Up one level
BigBearA_Final This is the first successful vertical panoramic that I have made. It is made of about 8 images that were stitched together and color corrected. The image is fully in focus from the ground, to the sky and the branches above. The file is about 250 MB and has enough detail to make a 12 x 48in print at 300 dpi. BigBearB My fascination with the vertical panoramic is that it forces the viewer to look at their world in a different way. The other thing that draws me to them is that they are difficult to photograph and create in Photoshop. Only about 1 in 10 vertical panoramic images that I start are ever finished. Some times the variation in exposure and stitching will simply not work and I have to abandon the whole image. Gorge3 Taken form the highest bridge in the US and located outside of Taos NM. The image is a composite of 3 images of the same seen using different exposes and then using digital masking so the gorge, clouds and their reflection in the river could all be visible. There was about a 6 stop difference between the sky and gorge exposures and the reflection of the sky on the river fell somewhere in between. LompokeLandscape VPanoramaAFinal In most vertical panoramas the bottom of the image is only a few feet from the tripod legs and the top of the image is straight overhead. With this image I was not able to use the bottom of the image because it was not blending properly with the next image over and the top of the image was cropped out because the could did not provide any additional information to the composite.
