The first image I processed using some HDR software. Why? To keep it simple and easy to understand, basically the sensors in digital cameras are not able to capture, in a single shutter release, the complete tonal range of a scene, as compared to the human eye. Our eyes are able to see a larger tonal range than a digital camera sensor. To get around this limitation of a digital camera, photographers can take multiple images with different exposure values. In my case I took 5 photographs of the scene below. Using software I blended those images together and the photograph below is the result. I believe it is fairly close to what I actually saw that day.
I am still trying to combine both HDR and panoramic into an image. I’m having trouble using the software and getting a result I’m happy with. The photograph below is of the same general scene as that above only I used 3 files that the camera said was the ideal exposure. I also used 3 images that I took as I panned the camera from left to right. The result being a much wider field of view than is possible with a single photograph with most lenses on a digital camera. Hopefully you get the idea.
