Playing around with Panos in PS3

anonymouscuban

I was bored so I decided to take a drive a couple miles from my home to see about shooting these rocky hills in Chatsworth. Thought I would give creating a panoramic shot a try. Never tried it before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Pretty happy with the results considering the sunlight was a bit harsh. BTW, this area was recently burned by the fires here in SoCal.

The first pano is taking from 4 images and then stitched in CS3.

Images #2 and #3 of are crops of pano #1.

The fourth image was of a different set of 4 shots, with 5 bracketed exposures each. I then took each of the 4 individual bracketed shots and generated an HDR image. I then took the four HDR images and stitched them in CS3.

What do you think?

#1 = 1/640 @ f/11 ISO 200


#2


#3


#4 HDR


Oh... and I meant CS3 in the title, not PS3. Although I did spend some time today playing on the PS3 too.

The last one wins! Good work.

#4 HDR




The last one is my favorite. I grew up in Chatsworth and live in nearby Fillmore. This looks like the area where the Metrolink train accident was as well as the recent fires?

That's the exact place. You can see the train track in the background, middle of the picture. The train was derailed by kids rolling boulders off the top of the tunnel, pictured below. You can see some of the charred trees and ground in the pano pictures as well.
