42 shots later, I have one image.
o_O
Why so many? … you may ask … (thinking, of course, to yourself that this Robin is few pistons shy of a running engine.)
I'm trying to fight noise you see.
So, for this panoramic stitch of six aspects (three on the bottom row three for the top), I shot 7 each and stacked them in layers to lessen the noise pattern on any given one.
It's always a battle with my little cam … but sometimes I get to win the round.

ReplyDeleteWOW! this awesome photo just mad me add you! :) VERY beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlorious sunset Robin Griggs Wood . Well worth all the hard work.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely ... might I suggest, all joking aside, that as you fight the noise that you also embrace some of it and see how it might add to your overall vision.
ReplyDeleteRobin, this is absolutely fantastic. I'm curious, though, you really couldn't get this same effect just editing one raw image? I'm asking because I've shot similar sunsets and I did them in one exposure just tweaking highlights, shadows, maybe temperature if the white balance gave me flat colors, etc. Are you saying that by doing it that way you'd end up with a too noisy image?
