Sta.sh
| Downtown Louisville is beautiful, especially at night with the lights making her glow. I've wanted to catch one of these moments for the longest time. Finally, one night in early June I set out on a journey to create this photo. --- My second ever true panorama photo. For this one I had to take a small trip to the other side of the Ohio River into Indiana and find a way to get down to the river for the spot I wanted. I won't go into detail how I got there, because then I may implicate myself for something. The night was hot and very humid and the ground where I stood was, for the most part, uneven and I was surrounded by brush. This made things challenging, because I wanted to hurry up and get things done since I was miserable, but I forced myself to take the time I need to get things right. I took four photos to use for the pano, but only used three of them and then cropped out about half of the third one to even things up. I had to use a long exposure and after messing around with different times I finally settled on 3.6 seconds. Editing was done in both Lightroom (pre-pano stitching) and Photoshop (post-pano stitching) and all together I put about 2.5 hrs of work into this one. Overall I'm very happy with the way it turned out, although I do wish I had done more to prepare myself, instead of just jumping right into it that night. |
