Cowee Mountain Sunset

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 11, 2011270 views7 comments

Sunset at the Cowee Mountain Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This is a 12 Vertical HDR image. I took 12, 3 exposure, two stops apart, images...so 36 total. I merged the three image sets in HDR Efex Pro and created a preset which I applied to all subsequent images. Blended together in Photoshop to create this panoramic. Just FYI...it's my first attempt at a panorama so I'd love some feedback! Anything I can improve on??

Beautiful work, Kate. I took a pano here last October, but mine was only three wide and two exposures each - I can't imagine dealing with 36! I think you handled it beautifully and this is the best Cowee shot I've seen

Kate, this is a very impressive image to me. The pattern in the clouds at the left makes for a second focal point which counteracts the sun interestingly to my eye. Fine processing in my opinion. I think the presentation on the web cannot do your work justice, it must be stunning as a large print.

Great panoramic Kate. I agree with Peter in that the web can't do this justice. Would love seeing this in a large print!

A spectacular panorama in every way. Brilliantly put together.
