Foggy Morning Light

This morning, on Hawk Hill - much less foggy than yesterday!

A 27-or-so exposure HDR panorama, processed in Photomatix and Photoshop. The tone-mapped HDR processing was only used sparingly in certain places, where necessary - it's mostly RAW data.

These direct-sun HDR panoramas are about as difficult to capture well as anything, but I think I'm starting to get it down pretty well these days. This one took about 3 hours to process.

I've been experimenting with a new technique to get more detail with less noise - this upload on flickr, though admittedly reduced from the 70-megapixel original, has had zero noise reduction applied, and seems pretty noise-free to my eyes. So, it seems to be working so far.
