September Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

September Sunset

            This is a 25 megapixel panorama, made from a 4x4 lattice of 16 individual shots. The equivalent FoV is approx. 10mm on DX (15mm FX).

This shot was completely unplanned. I just noticed that on this particular evening, the sky had a yellowish colour cast. I grabbed my D90 and ran up to the terrace. As I was getting ready to shoot, my glasses fell and the lens for the right eye came off!

That's my viewfinder eye, so I couldn't really figure out the focus. I also found the 16mm lens too narrow to capture the vibrance and variance of colours and shapes in the cloud.

I quickly burst a matrix of shots across the sky -- 45 total, since I covered the entire scene twice. The 16 shots used for this panorama were picked from the first pass.

Stiching was done with ArcSoft Panorama Maker 5. Excellent tool for Panos. 1:1 pixel quality is a bit low because I forgot to switch to Manaul focus after setting it at infinity. Some of the shots making this panorama were out of focus :(

Exposure settings: Manual, 1/50s f/8, ISO 200, WB Daylight, Vivid Picture Mode. Individual shots were batch converted to Jpegs in ViewNX before being stitched in APM5. Panorama generated as a TIFF file and finished in Capture NX2
