Baha'i Reflection

This is my fourth try to get this shot since the beginning of the year. Poor light conditions and worse execution frustrated.

 

It's a tricky shot. I know I wanted to get right on top of the reflecting pool while keeping the whole pool in the shot. But even with a wide angle lens, particularly with my crop sensor camera, I couldn't capture the full scene with a single shot, either horizontally or vertically. I tried a vertorama last time but it didn't come out well.

 

This time I tried a standard panorama, with 3 vertical shots. To minimize stitching issues I moved the whole tripod to try to keep the lens better centered on the focal point. This worked out fairly well as stitching errors were minimized and easily fixed.

 

So I guess if at first you don't succeed . . .
