Mt Wellington Panos

[aim54x]

As promised I am posting a few pano's taken when I went up to Mt Wellington. These were both 12 image stitches taken using the D60 and the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 and stitched using AutoPanoPro with some saturation adjustments made in CS2.

I am personally not sure what is wrong with these images, and will admit that I think they are missing something. Anyone care to share any ideas as to how to improve them?

the problem I found with the old Mount Wellington was the lack of a foreground subject, so the best you end up with is view on the city and some rocks to frame it....

In regard to your pano, methinks it needs a bit of PP love to get that colour cast correct, way too blue for my liking, ther is also some nice detail hiding in those darker areas.



In terms of composition, there are so many ways to get this shot - you were lucky you had a very nice weather, for reference below are a couple i took earlier this year.

I have never figured out the art of panography myself. I think Gerry's suggestions are good ones. Also his rework is much better than having a mono color (blue) as in the first image. Maybe tone down the brightness a touch in the foreground though.

What focal length did you shoot Cameron? Also were these hand held?

Also a problem here maybe that it's not a inherently fabulous scene to start with; Esp if you compare it to wineglass bay etc.

I was using 35mm and 40mm in these two, both handheld. I didnt bring a tripod to Hobart with me, mine are too heavy. I didnt get a chance to go to Wineglass Bay or Cradle Mountain (maybe an excuse for another trip!)
