Hello Cory, Very nice, one of the best panos I've seen. I imagine it was a huge work, but it's well worth it. -- Attila It wasn't *too* much work. Much of it was automated. Software used was all open-source though, which I find kinda cool. - dcraw to make 16-bit color-managed TIFF's - Autopano-sift for most of the control point generation - Hugin to fine-tune the control points and generate the pano control file - Panotools (through Hugin) to morph individual frames. - Enblend to blend the individuals into one big one. - Cinepaint/gimp to crop and rubber-stamp out dust spots and few chunks of missing sky and add a bit of USM.

Hi Cory a very nice panorama! I would cut the last part because of the different lightning or try to correct it. I have the same problem with one of my panos from Mt.

RE: Another Panorama PESO...
I did notice that, but I'm pretty sure it was due to side-lighting on the lens causing some flare-ish stuff. All of the exposures and processing were identical. I really didn't want to get into that level of manual tweaking. Besides... the color skewing doesn't seem to be consistent. The dark areas are slightly darker, but the sky seems slightly more yellow to me. Since it's a limitation of my gear that I could do nothing about, I guess I'm less concerned. Previous panos I've done have had vignetting due to shooting with a wide aperture or other technical flaws that I *could* have done something about. Those I'm much less excited about. -Cory On Thu, 14 Dec 2006, Markus Maurer wrote: But Cory, Im' I really the only one seing it beeing darker at the right end?

Yeah. Basically, I took a bunch of test shots with the terrain and the snow, and exposed for the snow to be almost blown out, but not quite.
