Switzerland Pano Reworked

[dawesy]

This is a rework of a pano I posted previously after some experimenting. Taking on board the suggestions there I had another go at it with a very different process. I'd be interested to see what people think.



While we are in Switzerland, this was taken a few hours later further up, on top of Mt Jungfrau, "the top of Europe". Obviously it's not really, but they do call it that as it is the highest train station/restaurant etc. It was also -4.4 up there, so I have a beanie as a souvenir.

I reckon make it halfway between this one and the first go! The first is a little too overcooked whilst this one feels a little under done..

That second pano of the "the top of Europe" is awesome, you have to click it to get teh full appreciation, when embedded in teh forum it looks over blown and soft, however clicking on it reveals the detail in the snow on the foreground and better sharpness. Any chance of getting a larger res verion to have a look at?

The inclusion of the people add some scale to the image, nicely done...you could have used that shot as a postcard to send home to the folks

Great place is Switzerland, I've been there numerous times including last year, but it was snowing so hard I didn't get to see much. The panos are great.

Thanks guys!

Gerry, I'll put up a ling to a bigger version of the second one late tonight when I am back at home. I think the original is about 10000 pixels across, so there is heaps of detail there.

Thanks for the comments on the first, I tend to agree. This one was created by doing all the processing pre-stitch, but I really think the foreground needs some work post-stitch as well. Still, it's been an awesome learning experience given I have never done a successful stitch prior to this one and I looked at the original files and thought they were junk!

Cheers.

you can find a 2000px across version here

The larger version looks heaps better imo, maybe bring our a bit more detail but 'as is' is fine

The large version of #2 looks great, well done. I like the way you have the trail on the right and the people there, gives it a sense of scale.
