After a long time without posting picures I'd like to show you this shot taken some days ago shortly after dusk.
This panorama constists of four frames - each frame was HDR processed (EV ranging from -2 to +2) by five individual shots each.
After stitching them I removed some dust spots and applied a touch of sharpness. The small picture that can be seen here is just a cropped part of the original (due to size limitations).

For your info:
Original size: 11002 x 2650 px (16bit 250MB tif)

Hi Gunnar,

Superb panaroma. nice evening photo with good sharpness. nice vivid colors here. I loved the pov. specially the opera house and the bridge at one end and the huge buildings at other end.
the dark clouds adding nice mood to the photo. also the reflections are well caught. nicely done and thanks for sharing.

Hello Gunnar

Spectacular image of Sydney. All the pp work has paid off. Nice image. Would like to see this view without clouds and a much darker night sky for comparison. Awesome work.

Hi Gunnar!

This really is wonderful! Have thought of the same myself, I mean hdr+panorama but haven't yet tried with good result. Your result seems perfect both stitching and tonemapping wise. Really a special and beautiful one. TFS!

Best regards,

Hi Gunnar,

the thumbnail in the gallery, this one and the large post: all very eyecatching.
The "blue" emphasizes the mood of the dusk very well.
I find the clarity and the sharpness really great!

Great work!

TFS.

Attila

Bonjour Gunnar.
Magnifique panorama composé avec de superbes couleurs et un reflet dans la mer parfait.
Le choix du moment de la prise de vue est aussi bien choisi est a donné une belle nuit bleu.
Superbe et bravo.
Bonne journée.

Hi Gunnar
After commenting on your latest picture I thought I'd peruse your portfolio. I'm glad I did too. There's a cracking suite of images and I'll be working my way through each of them today.

This one is a great cityscape that includes an iconic building - the Opera House.
Beautiful colours and their reflections shimmering on the water. Nicely exposed and aided with HDR - how would we manage without it?
