Project 90: Lake at Sunrise

This project is is another landscape HDR panorama. This time, I drove to a nearby lake in order to shoot landscape photos at sunrise. I used a nodal point a nodal point adapter to shoot some bracketing series for hdr panoramas. The postprocessing consisted of three steps. First, I stitched each part of the bracketing series to a panorama. Second, I computed HDR pictures using different Photomatix settings. Lastly, I tuned the HDR pictures with Lightroom. In summary, this project enhanced my experience in creating HDR panoramas. If you shoot landscape HDRs with trees and bushes, take take of the wind. I thought, it was calm, but the was a little breeze which resulted in ghosting in both the panorama and the HDR pictures. In the case of trees, ghosting is quite difficult to reduce or to remove.
