Do you have a good head for hights
Posted: 5 May 2008 at 8:07 GMT
Do you have a good head for hights. I added this QTVR to my tour. photoartkalmar.com/Peterskirche/Virtuelle%20Tour/...
Well, the light situation have been really hard. (Harder then dancing around the tripod while taking the images. Only a bit more then 1 feet space and this one feet was used by the tripod)
In front of the tripod: exposure vallue between 1/8 and 25 sec (f16 iso 100). Behind the tripod: 60 sec. And I had to remove the shadow of the camera and the tripod in PS.
All together took me about 9 hours work.

This is a masterpiece Henk and what a fantastic building to photograph.

I remember seeing your first post when you put together a tour from the floor. Now it is awesome with a unique view.

Watch that first step! very surprised
A masterpiece is right.
Brilliant work Julian!

How did you combine the various exposures? Did you bracket every shot?

I tried many different things to increase dynamic range.
In my opignon the easest way to get good results is to make different exposures and then putting all together manually in PS. No program can see as good as your eyes. I trie to explaine this but I know that it will look very complicate, but when you trie it, you will see that this works very well.
I open all different exposures and put them together in one image with many layers ( each exposure is a seperate layer, so in this case 9 layers)
The exposure with the longest exposure vallue is visible and then each layer under this top layer is 1 stop less exposed. And then I create a mask for each layer and draw everything I need with a more or less sharp pencil.

And then I´m drawing with a more or less sharp
