Description [please download to view full size]

This is my first "mega-panorama" made from 37 individual shots. It was a rather misty morning, but I managed to get quite clear shot.

This is a back road connecting the towns of Lightstreet and Buckhorn Pennsylvania. I like the way the shot came out. This is actually a curving 90 degree turn in the road exaggerated by the panorama. [link]

[edit 2009-09-28] This won 1st place in the Landscape division -and- Best in Category at the 2009 Bloomsburg Fair.

[edit 2011-01-01] I was asked to put together a tutorial on panoramic shots. Here is a link to it. [Tutorial ]

Thank you...I too think it has a look of an island of rock that someone paved a road around...with no entrance or exit.

Thanks! I was ever surprised at the outcome. I'm glad I didn't give up working with the levels in Photoshop. It leaned toward "warm", but I think managed a nice balanced shot.

Thanks It took some time to set up the shot and then to merge into the pano...but it was worth it.

Seriously? That's awesome, I use hugin too! [link]


Hey, maybe you can help me out with something. Is there a way I can get it to export an HDR as a file that can actually be opened by Gimp?

DwayneF In reply to homestar455 [2008-11-06 02:15:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh, a bit beyond my experience. Never used Hugin for stitching HDR -and- I've never used Gimp.

Your mountains panorama is awesome...reminds me of when I was in southern California.

Oh, I THINK I have something figured out, but it's not exactly real HDR. (use exposure fusing with enfuse and it'll let you export it as a standard JPG or TIFF file)

That's actually where it was taken.
