Title: Pano
Post by: armand on August 19, 2014, 02:13:40 pm: My usual place in the nearby park, slightly different point of reference.

More like a proof of concept as the fine detail is kind of crap with the LR/Photoshop.

Now I see it, I used a couple of filters in Color Effex that probably did it, I'll deactivate the one I think is the culprit and see what happens.

Here is a slightly modified version.

For whatever (arbitrary?) reason, I would have liked a little higher position of the camera and a slightly more downward angle on the lens. Not a lot, just subtle. I get your point with the fine detail; I struggle with this too. Maybe others would disagree, but is there a way to mimic a T/S lens effect?
