Title: Panoramic Yosemite at Dusk
Post by: AdrianT on October 20, 2009, 02:23:16 pm

I took this photo a while back (April '09) but have only worked on it the last couple of weeks. The 11 photo stitch crashed PS CS4 several times and I had to resize the RAW files to a half res tiff to successfully finish the stitch. I haven't done a lot of panoramic shots, this is probably the 2nd serious panoramic shot i've tried, so comments or critiques are very welcome.

Very nice- I like the repetition of lines.  I'm sure it looks gorgeous large.

Beautifully seen and executed!  I imagine this would make a fantastic wall-mounted print.  Nice work.

Fine work, Adrian. I really like the light just brushing the tops of the hills.

Very nice.  And a full moon to boot.

Thank you. I appreciate the positive comments. It was definitely a lucky shot as the elements had come together that night. I just wish I had some clouds in the scene and it would've been a bit more interesting sky, although the full moon really help the upper part of the photo.

Excellent shot (what a location to shoot from!), and an excellent job stitching, there's not a seam or balance issue to be found.

A bit nitpicky... but the moon has a yellow discoloration. It also has a dark halo around it (Clarity edge artifact?) making it look a bit pasted in.

Nice shot!  Awfully big Moon that night!
