HDR AND STITCHED PANO IN THE SAME SHOT! BURN THE HERETIC!!!! 😀

Four individual HDR shots stitched in Microsoft ICE.

Would it have hurt him to use some perspective and lens correction as well? Geez.

Tell the truth, I kind of forgot about it! Hugin has perspective and lens distortion built into the algorithm and ICE doesn’t! Off to photoshop!

nice. Except the tilted horizon. makes me dizzy.

Good god, I really have to try some of this HDR stuff soon–a little scared of “the HDR hole” though 😉

Can I ask what kind of filesize the final stitched image came out at, ennuipoet?

The Tiff came out about 100 MB with the pixels being 5857×2403.

It looks like this

The downward spiral:

Rails Over Hartford – HDR by Orionid, on Flickr

The bottom:

Sundial HDR by Orionid, on Flickr

Seattle Wharf HDR by Orionid, on Flickr

Then eventually, you claw your way back out

The uphill battle:

Pagoda HDR by Orionid, on Flickr

Then, eventually, you can control yourself, and like a fad diet, realize that you just have to take everything in moderation

The other side:

Mansion Veranda by Orionid, on Flickr

Nuclear Dawn at Sunset – HDR by Orionid, on Flickr

/Sorry about the visual threadjack.
//Really sorry about subjecting you all to that shot of the wharf.

Edited because you can’t fish from LT Worf. I speel rell gud.

That’s a great one, Zero. Reminds me of the mock ad I did for the Kern’s nectar juice with captain Kern (Worf’s brother). I wonder where that got to?

re HDR Hole: HDR is a great tool, but all of the pre-packaged toolkits out there present a GUI that makes it “easy” to get results (results, of course, vary) without the user having the need or the desire to create a “non-obvious” HDR image. When you stop wanting the HDR effect, and are more concerned about reducing halos and other artifacts in your image, you start to dig into the concept and implementation of HDR.

Gentle use of tonemapping is a start, since that’s the thing that peeps think when they hear “HDR”. Hell, you don’t even have to tonemap to use HDR….
