香港政府總部(添馬艦)前抗議 Protest outside Hong Kong SAR Central Government Complex, Tamar / SnowdenHK: 香港聲援斯諾登遊行全景 Hong Kong Rally to Support Snowden Panorama / SML

Hundreds of protestors rally outside the Central Government Offices of Hong Kong yesterday, blowing whistles and shouting to support Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower who revealed to the public about the PRISM electronic surveillance program employed by the United States.

# Workflow

 

I wish to show both the protestors in detail as well as the amount of public media surrounding them, so using my Canon EOS 6D affixed with the EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM and photographed handheld at 400 mm.

 

All in all, 73 RAW images were stitched together inside Autopano Giga 3.0 and output as Photoshop Large Document Format (PSB). Inside Photoshop I then create a vector mask to remove the edges. Since this was shot handheld, it was fairly difficult for me to make sure that I have had all the shots which I wanted.

 

I have been thinking of getting a robotic panoramic head for a while now but have not made a final decision between Gigapan EPIC Pro vs the Kolor Panogear. Both are fairly expensive. The other option I looked at as the Manfrotto pano head but since it was almost the same price as the robotic heads I thought that it makes more sense to go with robotics.
