Hi, this is basically a 3 frame panorama in vertical orientation. Each frame is 5 exposures from -5EV to +3EV with 2EV increments constantly. Each frame of 5 exposures are blended digitally by HDR then these three frames are stitched in CS6. Btw i had to restitch a few times as there was a block which didnt stitch well, presumably due to being at the edge of the frames. Hope that helps!

Hi nitewalk, thanks for sharing and will try it out.
Cheer!
 

One from the Flyer, taken after the session on Sunday.. Blended with 2 shots. Like I was sharing with seefei, I still miss the K20D's slide-like output now and then.. But it's a small price to pay for the great high ISO capabilities of the K5. ISO1250.

Fantastic shot!

hi,


ive been reading up on blending or HDR techniques

can share your technique for your second shot? i suppose you use a ND filter?

did you blend of HDR it with photomatix? how do you photomatix prolonged exposures? wouldn't the "ghosting" be different between different exposures and result in a messy photograph?

I forgot to mention this during the session but you can use Layers to multiply/stack light trails to make it more "substantial".

You just use a tripod again, take the photos with different light trails, and set it to "Lighten" after stacking the shots. Erase to taste. Basically "Lighten" blends only the BRIGHTER parts of the photograph for the top layer with the bottom. That's what I used for this photo:

Super cloudy evening that didn't turn out too badly. The clouds held the colour from the setting sun beautifully.

Tried Hugin to do my stitching for the first time and I must say I grow to like it very much immediately!

What did you use previously?

Hugin is good.
Even better that its free :D

But its not the smartest in finding the stitching points though.
In the end, I am juggling between PSE built in pano stitcher; ICE and Hugin.
Hugin is the 'go to' program of course.

I tried Ptgui, Photoshop and i think Hugin is decent. I think i gives similar results as PTGui. Anyway, i don't have much demands of my software. Hahaha..
 

Was at the recent SG Cosplay. Took some photos. Some to share
