Description
A room at an unfinished hotel in Valldal on the west coast of Norway. Each room is it's own little building in the nature, with panorama view of the surroundings

It's a panorama made out of a total of 34 picturese taken in portrait format, and still I managed to move the camera too much between each shot in the middle part of the room, so the lines there aren't completely smooth. I thought I had learned with my tunnel panoramas

Also I originally intended to put two panoramas together, with two different exposures, one for the inside, and one for the nature outside. So I took every picture twice in hope that photoshop would merge two identical panoramas; but that didn't happen. But it kind of worked out with the "overexposed" (the nature was almost completely white, while the inside was perfect) panorama. Only the sky ended up overexposed in the end, but it was overcast and white that day

This comment ended up extremely long, and chances are that none of you are going to read it anyways, but that's life

Post-processing
Adjusted the wb on all 34 pictures in camera raw, lightened a tiny bit and turned up recovery. Stitched the pictures together with the automatic photomerge in photoshop.

Turned up the contrast on the interior with a curves layer.

Darkened the outside a lot - especially the middle tones - with a curves layer, and turned up the contrast with another one. Also adjusted the colour channels slightly with curves, giving the nature a bit warmer and greener hue.

Cropped.
