Panorama

[Horacio]

This is my first panorama taken with the Olympus E510 and the 9-18mm lens. It is the result of using three pictures.
The technique used is as follow: In photoshop CS3:
File--scripts--load files into stack, and choose the files.
Select all the layers.
Then Edit--Autoalign layers.
Again Edit---auto blend layers
Flatten and apply any adjustment you want (curves, filters, sharpening, size, etc).
Hope you like it

Very nice, Horacio. I like the B&W treatment.

Hi Horicio

Looks to me like you were going for a IR effect, one of the things I am interested in, have been for some years. Not done that much about it.
What settings did you use for the affect?

I have just had my old Canon 10D converted to IR, got it back just this week. I have not had any time to give it a try, not that it is an ideal time of year here in the UK for IR, spring gives the best results for landscapes with the new foliage.

Re: Panorama

The picture was taken in color with a polarizer filter.
After the described steps until k you, I only selected the menus commands.
After flattening, I used the highlight-shadow command to increase and modify the contrast, I made steeper the tonality curve and applied a little sharpening effect. That waas all. Best regards,

Re: Panorama

I suspected you had used a Polarising filter Horacio. Mainly due to the gradation of the sky. It is one reason I stopped using a Poloriser, esp in panoramas and where there was lots of blue sky. I find the dark gradation is not always to my taste, and would prefer to add it manually where I want. Apart from that though I can't fault your photo
