Artist's Comments

A panorama of the valley Valldal, on the west coast of Norway. Taken during the christmas holiday.

It's fascinating how panoramas can completely change the perspective (or something...) of a scene (you probably wont see it as I guess you don't know how it really looks like there) :lol:

The rest of my Valldal panoramas can be found here.

Post-processing:
Stitched 15 pictures together with the photomerge in adobe cs3 after adjusting the wb, turning up the exposure and adding some more contrast to all the pictures in camera raw.

Turned up the contrast with curves with two different layers. One for the foreground and mountains, and one for the sky. Added a black and white layer set to soft light (40%) on the whole picture and one set to hard light (35%) on the sky only.

Cropped the picture a bit.

Utrolig nydelig dette:aww: Dette gjør at jeg får enda mer lyst til å prøve å ta panorama bilder!

:clap:

er det sånn at du tar et bildet, så flytter du kameraet litt til en av sidene, o.s.v... ?

Tusen takk :aww:

Panorama er gøy, og egentlig ikke så vanskelig, bare å flytte kameraet litt til siden for hvert bilde som du sier ja (og passe på at man står helt stille og bare roterer overkroppen, med mindre man bruker stativ). Man må bare sørge for å overlappe nok og ta flere bilder enn man tror man trenger :D

Tror forresten du er den eneste som har lagt til alle panoramabildene mine som favoritter :D
:iconhealzo:
Bare hyggelig:aww:
Aha, skjønner! Får prøve på det en gang når jeg finner et fint sted.
hehe, de er utrolig fine:clap:

Nicely done, that must be one huge file though after stitching 15 photos together!?
:iconbartch:
15 pictures -> 3x5 isn't it? Result is absolutely stunning.

PS. Does west coast of Norway has anything in common with us west coast? Gangstas, rap and lowriders?
Just kiding but when I hear phrase west coast I see in front of my eyes snoop dogg's video :)

15x1 actually, taken in portrait format and with a lot of overlapping for safe measure :D

The Norwegian west coast is more like isolated farms, valleys, mountains and fjords, and people with "weird" dialects :lol:

The jpg-file is about 20mb but the photoshopfile was over 100mb if I rembember correctly :D
