Sand sand everywhere (with content aware fill)

I took this handheld pano during my visit to the Stockton beach as part of a Sygna wreck shoot. I had the major mistake of leaving my polariser on the lens during this pano. It is much easier to leave the polariser out rather than post produce it out ! :oops:

Also this illustrates CS5 'content aware fill' in action. Once the pano was made, one hit of the content aware fill did the job. :bowdown:

Thanks for your comments. Click through to a slightly larger version.

I should have posted that in the first place! After digging through the pictures, I haven't saved the original. I recreated the pano to show an approximation of how it looked prior. Mind you, I think this is a perfect candidate for content aware fill. The main rules of contect aware fill is, that the dumbass behind the keyboard is aware of what they are filling. :mrgreen:

Thanks Ant and Willy wombat.

I haven't got a non-vignetted version. The vignette wasn't intentional. I was trying to get rid of the strong polariser effect. I will have to have another look at my edit if I've saved a PSD file!

Suren, the more i look at that image, the more I like it, my only comment would be the lighten up the lower left a bit, just to bring out the person.

I love teh way the tracks lead you to the house structure, then the pano crop just leads you to the person...really nice composition there and perfect pano choice. :up:


With the polariser issue - which, by the way I do it all teh time... :roll: Did you try lightening the centre polarised area? I find lightening it and desaturation in that specific area usually removes the CPL effect. Its only sky there so it should be pretty easy to fix..
