Title: Post-storm pano
Post by: MattBurt on August 12, 2015, 01:55:57 pm

This is four portrait oriented images stitched with LR6. I was zoomed all the way to 250 to compress the scene.

Maybe the blue sky is a bit saturated? Otherwise, a fine work. Like the way the road is weaving through the landscape. And of course the rainbow adds a special touch.

Perhaps also good in B&W?

Thanks Paulo. I'll give it a try!

I like this panorama but the sky is odd, maybe too saturated. Sometimes when encountering such conditions (storm, rainbow), the light is unbelievable so that may have been the case here.
The landscape is interesting all by itself even without the rainbow.

Thanks for looking and giving feedback. It was one of those unrealistic looking post-storm skies. I wonder if the Color Efex Pro Detail Extractor may have been too much for that already surreal looking sky. I'll try backing it off a little.

What are those dark diagonal lines, perpendicular to the rainbow?

Alternating rays and shadows from the sun which was low over my left shoulder. I think the rain there that was also creating the rainbow helped make them more visible.
