It was a beautiful day at Yosemite last Friday. Still snow on the ground, but t-shirt weather nonetheless. I know this shot has been overdone, but I thought a pano might make it a little different.

I also tried a new workflow in processing my HDRs:

Convert each of the three exposures from RAW to PSD in Photoshop CS3. Use same settings for each.
Tonemap the three PSDs in Photomatix. Save as TIFF.
Process the TIFF in Photoshop CS3. If pano, use same settings for each panel.
If pano, merge the TIFFs in Photoshop CS3 after tonemapping; then process.


This workflow seems to have eliminated the alignment problem I was previously experiencing with Photomatix.

That's a nice shot of Tunnel View. I'll be there late May...can't wait.

You're so close to Yosemite...

May will be a great time, and the dogwoods should be in bloom.

FYI. They cut down a few of the trees that used to stick up in the "tunnel view". Now the panorama is a little less cluttered.

OK, you totally wrecked me! Great HDR, I've tried to do this and just can't seem to get it. Very nice.

Gosh I love HDR! It never gets bad for me. It just goes from looking realistic to a point where everyone starts to wail that it is overdone and at that point it looks like stunning art!
