Sierra Skyline
by Harry Lichtman
Another image from my recent Sierra trip to Dusy Basin and the Eastern. I tried to capture the expanse of the basin in this pano during some fantastic lighting. I used 4 vertical images, each with a highlight and shadow exposure to hold the dynamic range and manually blended. I thought the verticals would allow an easier/better stitch using such a wide angle lens. I was able to avoid some distortion by keeping the lens in a more level position. The rock arrangement in the right reflection still bothers me as it seems to block up the reflection, but changing my position disrupted the reflection in worse ways in other areas of the shot. Some single images handled this problem a bit better.
Thanks for any feedback, as well as the feedback from my prev. post.
