Before we talked about AEB HDR shooting: http://forum.dji.com/thread-36401-1-1.html
So today, we will talk about making an HDR Panorama. Of course the basics are the same, but there are few important things to take care of when creating an HDR panorama. I had no chance to choose a better place for the shooting, so just did it here not far from my place.
First of all, I set my Phantom camera to the AEB mode and choose 3 images per shot.
I took pictures in 3 directions: left, middle, and right with an overlay of about 20%, so after in Photoshop it successfully merged into one panorama.
So simply speaking, I used 9 photos to create 1 HDR panorama
So the next step is to bracket and align our left side images in the Photomatix Pro. Now you have to find a proper preset or create your own according to the particular image. I adjusted some tone settings and created my own preset
Next, you have to use this preset with the middle and right-hand images.
Because if you use other presets or make other tone corrections, there will be a visible difference between 3 pictures on the final panorama.
When you're done with that, please save the photos and run Photoshop:
In Photoshop CS6 go to File>Automate>Photomerge
Import your images and press ok, Photoshop will create a panorama automatically .
.
Here we've got some white areas on the sides, so we just crop them off.
Now our panorama is almost done...
I'd like to reduce the noise, add a bit of vignette and make picture look a little bit colder in the Lightroom.
Here is the result:
Hope this was helpful
You're welcome to share your panoramas here!
