Title: A few from Japan
Post by: BernardLanguillier on May 11, 2014, 07:20:14 pm
A few images captured last week in Tateyama, an alpine volcanic mountain range in the Toyama prefecture of Japan, known for getting up to 15m of snow in some places.

They are all high resolution pano stitches, some using also DoF stacking.

What a great set of images. I feel like I'm on those ridges with the cold air and the vast expanses of snow-covered mountains.


PS: you could have sent me some snow, here it's more like 15 cm!

Very nice!

A technical question: how does the stitching and stacking work with scenes like the first one, where the low clouds or mist are changing somewhat?  How much time delay between frames is involved or tolerable?

Thanks. This is a 2 rows pano, the sky is done in a few seconds.

DoF stacking is only applied to the lower row with a foreground.

Cheers,
Bernard
