NC waterfall from A Floridian
When I was in NC about 4 weeks ago I went to Hickory Nut falls. Not too much water, but, a beautiful falls anyway.

3 shot stitch (about a 30 megapixel file :-))

Canon EOS-1Ds Marks, 24mm TS-E, camera mounted vertically, lateral shift on the lens

What do you think?

Thanks,

Bob

It was ok in color, but, the B&W ft my intent better

I gotta say the conversion you did and how it has a bronze tone to it really renders this popular falls in a different way. I really like the detail in the right side. How do you do your stitching?

Not bad for a Floridian :wink:

Seriously, I like this alot. Good job with the conversion and stitching :toast:

Looks great! You should have emailed me...Hickory Nut Falls (Lake Lure area) is just about in my backyard! :wavey:

Leann, there are 4 pano shapes that I can get from the TS-E lens, long and skinny horizontal, long and shinny vertical, horizontal as you see here, and vertical, same size as here. I usually shoot three shots and use photoshop, File>Automate>Photomerge. I let Photomerge arrange automatically, however, I check the keep layers option, so that I can tweak the layers position and curves individually. I am getting about a 100 MB file at 8 bits so it it fairly close to a MF Digital back in resolution.

To do the actual pan part, I just shift the lens to the left, center and far right, with out moving the camera.

Alice,

I should have, I went through Lake Lure. You live in "God's Country."
