Quebec City
Back from Québec City where I visited my brother's brand new child, Charlie Gingras.
Thanks to the convenient location of the bus station, I had the occasion the take a few pictures of the Vieux-Québec.
This is my first serious panorama. I scanned the scene in program shift mode, compute the average exposure and shot with brackets in full manual mode. I aligned the images with autopano-sift, stitched with hugin, blended with enblend, tone mapped with qtpfsgui, and post processed with the Gimp. Be sure to have a look that the full size version before you decide if you like it or not.
I don't know how to get rid of the stitching lines in the sky; maybe I should just replace it with a gradient. I'm satisfied with the post processing but I have a lot of work to do on composition. Not too bad for a first attempt.
Wow, I really like the panorama. The blend of cozy street lights and a dawning sky looks amazing. I would also like to tribute your night pictures from Montreal, which are currently greeting me every time I log in.
I'm glad you like the pictures. Most pictures have also a high resolution version online: go on a picture page and replace
gal/mwithgal/o. I have an automated pipeline to do the tone mapping almost working. Expect new HDR pictures soon.
