Sunset and sunrise as one

pyry

Here's something I tried last midsummer at a small bay near my home:



Sunset and rise join together at my latitude in the summer, and I thought I should try to shoot the whole event

This is a composite of three panoramas, shot at sunset, midnight and sunrise. Built using Autostitch and Photoshop.

C&C most welcome!

I love the concept, but not sure if you've quite pulled it off TBH.

The sun(s) are very difficult to pick out. I doubt I would have got it if you hadn't explained the image. Perhaps if the sunrise / sunset had been more dramatic (e.g. reflected light off clouds) it would have done more for me.

Sorry not to have been more positive.. look at it this way.. I couldn't do any better

I don't mind honest critique, and futhermore I think you're right.

I considered cheating with the two suns when I first pieced this together, I could fairly easily enlarge them. As for clouds, sure, as long as they stay put for 4 hours

Great idea! Was that a HDR? If not, I would guess that all panoramas as bracketed HDRs would be amazing

It's not HDR, I wanted the contrast anyway. It could me worth a try though
