Geek?

Allow me to bore you shitless with some photographic geekery. Above picture taken on Saturday, when we went down to the city (doesn't that sound very Neighbours) around dusk and I jiggled about while the girls played on the playground.

Plonk camera on tripod. Set to Auto-Exposure Bracket, +/- 2 EV. Ensure tripod horizontal. Working from left-hand side of panorama field of view, take sets of three shots which overlap each other by at least 20%.

Post-process using Photomatix to combine each three-shot set into a single High Dynamic Range image.

Stitch together five (in this case) resulting images using Panorama Factory, then adjust for levels and sharpness using Paint Shop Pro.
