Bubble Pond Pano

redleash · December 6, 2009

This is a 2-shot pano that I merged in PS. It took several attempts before it looked right; it kept coming out like a fish-eye. I did a lot of PP, working on each area around the pond, as well as the foreground rocks, the Bubbles, and the water. I'm not happy with the sky but it was blown out for the most part. I may go back to try to replace it completely, but for now this is what I came up with. I think it really came together looking like a painting.

I'm pretty sure I used the tripod on these shots, but you can tell from the water how windy and cold it was. This was our last day at Acadia and some of us met at Bubble Pond for a sunset shoot. Those who skipped it and stayed inside were smart. :rofl

Shot with Tamron 17-50, wide open and at 2 sec. EDIT: "wide open" meaning at 17mm not wide open aperture. some crazy ap like f25!

C&C appreciated.

looks like a very pretty spot, and your pano composition suits it well... i like the colors along the far shore, and the spots of light on the hills in the background.
