And just hope nothing significant moves 😉

Thank you

You can photograph moving things as long as you understand the constraints,

If you look at my panorama, there are ocean waves, and the ocean waves are in motion.

I wasn't happy with the original pano because the sky was bit blotchy and the entire panorama wasn't that sharp.

I reshot it today, and today's version is a bit better.

ISO 100, 23.2mm f/8, 1/800th sec.

12 shots to 4 HDR shots merge to one HDR panorama.

Yes, indeed. Do you merge HDR shots first, then combine in a panorama; or vice versa?

12 shots merged to 4 HDR shots, then the 4 HDR shots merged to HDR panorama.

So merge to HDR first.

Toshi, thank you. You have inspired me to try this technique on mundane matter close by; then for real once we can resume travelling again. You certainly produce fantastic results with your X Vario, despite its obsolescence. Truly inspiring.

If you want to try this, here's a few tips:

o Start with a 2-shot or 3-shot panorama for initial attempts.

o Use about a 25% overlap between successive frames

o You need to be in manual mode to ensure the exposure is consistent across frames. If you don't know how to choose manual settings, you can cheat by taking a test shot, then switching to manual and using the settings from the test shot for all the frames.

o My quick easy way to do HDR is to use +-1.7 exposure bracketing. This is what I used for the lighthouse panorama.

o I usually use the default spherical mapping for panoramas in Lightroom. Sometimes cylindrical is also good.

Good luck!

Toshi

5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog.
6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “choose Files” and select the image.

It is also possible to embed an image through linking, but the  embedded image must still fall within the forum size rules above. There is also the risk of a broken link when the image is moved or deleted on the other site. Not recommended.

When you find an image on the forum you see a preview. Click on it for good quality. When the plus symbol appears click on it for full size.

Jaap, what about Resolution? Any recommendations?

The resolution value is irrelevant for Internet posting. It comes into play when determining print size. For display on a screen the computer will take the number of pixels and put them on your screen which has a fixed resolution.

On a cold and windy day quail like to hang out in my barn.  That's fine with me because they eat any loose grain the horses leave on the ground. The quail are wild but when the weather is bad they put up with me. 🙂
