Here's the last of the faux film stuff for tonight. I experimented with stitching the RAW files rather than the HDR version, but it always has a crispy 'digital' look, whereas the HDR version is much closer to film.
To tonemap the HDR I've had much better luck with tonal compression than local adaptation, which is not surprising as that's mostly how film works (with a bit of local adaptation if you use a dilute developer).
This is another 28mm vertical pan, two rows of five pix @ -2, 0, 2 EV. I'm starting to think that a 35mm might be better for this particular application but I need to think about the implications first.
The workflow on this one was a bit different.... some use of shadows and highlights in PS after 'tonal compression' in Photomatix Pro.
Print size of this would be around 30" wide at grainsniffing quality.
Check out the big version to get a handle on the level of detail. The actual file is three times bigger than this, so about 10,000 px wide, with roughly the same resolution as a regular Digi SLR capture.
