D200, Sigma 10-20mm @ 14mm, 100 ISO, Roughly 18 pictures (3 rows of 6 pics) No tripod used.
Stitched with PTGui.
Pics taken in Raw, 2 exposures output from it, Identical panoramas were stitched, Sky was taken from the low exposure and overlayed at around 30%.
Then had 2 masks to separate sky and ground, and played with contrast separately.

Roughly 3.5 hours of work for each pic (2.5 hours of that is just rendering the Panoramics on my slow ass comp) Output filesize is roughly 10800 x 3600

Related note, I sold a copy of the top print (12x36" Framed) For $275. Cost to me for framing and printing = roughly $100.

Can you tell us a bit more about the process of printing and framing you used?
>> Anonymous

TRUE HDR, lol

>>110058
Thanks very much.

What about your technique and framing all 18 shots? I'm surprised no tripod was used, impressive work.

Also, what program did you use for the panoramic render?
I'm seriously considering trying this.
>> Vincent
>>110059
Sure though its not exactly impressive :)

Print was done at Costco, 12x36 is a standard size for their good Noritsu printers. Cost me a whole $8 CAD (information I usually don't give freely to people I'm selling to!)
As for a frame, its a Black metal frame dimensions, 44x20"
which leaves a 4" since black matte border around the entire picture. The Bigger the Matte the more Square the picture looks, I find 4" is a good compromise while still keeping it looking quite "Panoramic"

Also the place I get it done at is roughly half the price of all other quotes I got in town, so not sure why she is soo much cheaper. but I pay about $90 CAD after Tax for the frames. (foamcore backing, acid free matte's, all the regular stuff)

Tripods don't even fix for Parallax error, So I figure whats the use lugging one around when I can fix minor errors in post anyway (didn't find any errors in the winter one either...). All I do is stand in one spot and turn my body. Plus I'm standing on a kind of precarious cliff here, so I doubt I could set one up anyway!

Program is PTGui, although I hear CS3 and Autostitch can do a good enough job, PTgui lets you adjust the controll points in post, so for tricky large panoramics its good to have that option!

As for taking pics, at least 20% overlap is all I do. (I've done up to 52 picture panoramics with P&S camera's, PTGui is pretty damn awesome)

Thanks heaps again.
This HDRfag will try some panorama soon. :]

Using panoramic head should fix problems with parallax, or not?

>Tripods don't even fix for Parallax error,

I thought parallax error was with viewfinders; what would a tripod have to do with it, and why would it matter here?
>> Anonymous
>>110129
one thing is "parallax error" used for cameras that don't show the same thing in viewfinder and on actual photo taken

In panoramas this error refers to "parallax shift" wich kicks in when you rotate the camera around without fixing the lens around it's nodal point. Once you put two images together, they will have slightly more different perspective as you go away from the center. Pano heads fix this, as you can move your camera into different position on the tripod, so the axis of rotation will correspond to lenses nodal point. (cheap solution is to put your camera on some solid support, mark nodal point with a dot or coin or whatever, and rotate the camera around it)

you're exactly right. you can also get, say, an office stool or office chair, prop your camera up on a phone book and move it back and forth until you find the nodal point. then you can just rotate the stool.

Ahh sorry, Parallax Shift,
Also i'm a lazy ass photographer and don't like carrying around Tripods or Monopods.
I only use them when absolutely necessary and only begrudgingly.

Pic related for Frames, Top one is the same frame I used, Bottom one is just a shoddy replacement I threw up since thats where the frame I sold was mounted.

Bottom one = 2" matte, Top = 4" matte.

Too much shadow & highlight in photoshop. The glow above the mountains gives it away. nice shoop though.
>> Vincent
>>110353
Actually thats just a shitty Layer Mask, I didn't tough Shadows / highlights. Just contrast and a ton of layers. It's also an old version of that pic.

God damn it that is awesome. Did you take that?
Was it lucky timing? or is it some sort of merged pic? (Lightning being taken at a different time maybe?)

Ya I did a few searches for Dilworth Mountain, and Kelowna (Where it was taken) And found nothing.
Similar picture if anything, but I REALLY doubt that someone took my pics and threw them on wikipedia
