Spring Pano (HDR)
Springtime 360 pano, HDR version. Stitched from 3 HDR layers, each HDR layer comprising pano stitched from 51 photos, taken as follows:
elevation -60 degrees, 60-degree azimuth steps (6 shots)
elevation -40 degrees, 30-degree az steps (12 shots)
elevation 0 degrees, 24-degree az steps (15 shots)
elevation +40 degrees, 30-degree az steps (12 shots)
elevation +80 degrees, 60-degree az steps (6 shots)
In the future I may tweak this pattern a bit; probably go to elevations of 0,+/-35,+/-70 (same azimuth steps, those are good).
The HDR steps were -1 2/3, 0, 1 2/3 EV. Probably I should've gone with +/- 2 EV. Also, I think the over-exposed layer is pretty useless for this sort of shot, really you only need the under-layer to handle burn-out in the sky.
It was windy that day so there are some mismatches in the HDR overlays in the details of the tree branches...but only if you look close.
I didn't do anything special with the nadir...figuring out how to handle that is my next project.
