Creek Panoramic

This is the first one that I have tried to create. I shot it at dusk while the kids were throwing rocks in on the other side of the bridge.

Teqy, in this small of an image, I can't see any problems with the stitching, so good job on that. Your exposure look to be quite a bit over though. This has left no density or contrast in the colors, and the sky is washed out. You may need to use HDR as well on this image to get what you remember seeing in the scene when you took this shot.

It's a pretty scene, but yes, it does look to be overexposed.

That night I ventured out of auto mode and was trying manual for the first time so I was still trying to get used to it. I knew the shots were blown but I was more interested in trying the pano. I'm still working on me fully understanding the settings of the camera and just need a lot more practice.

As for how small it is, I had to because of file size.

So I went back into it and I PS a good sky capture into this one. It looks a little bit better but still needs something else. BTW thank God it is small that way you won't see how bad the clone tool was in it. Big Grin

What were you cloning? Where it was stitched together?
I haven't tried stitching a panoramic so I have nothing to add here

I do like the second version a bit better, it might be a touch over done with the contrast but better.
I understand about trying something so the other technical aspects go out the window until you have mastered the new technique.

If you're teaching yourself manual. set your camera on auto and look at what it thinks the exposure should be. Set the camera to manual and start at those settings then move things around and take lots of shots of the same thing so you'll learn what causes what to happen. It goes against what us purists are taught but its how I teach and it seems to work.

I'm not commenting on the photo, try it again.

Ginny - I was cloning the clouds, there was a tree in the original that I had to get out.

Bob - I tried that with the ISO settings but never thought of that with the other settings. I'll do that next time. Thanks.

Mike - I rotated the camera 90 degrees to capture the whole view but your right I could have gotten most of this in a regular single shot.

A pano is a stitch of a wide view, can be a 360 view which looks amazing if done right.

You're right but I was trying to capture as much as I could so I could crop it later. When I cropped it, it didn't look as good as this so I kept it. I'm still learning and I thank all of you for your CC.
