WATERFALL PANORAMA

Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, Tamron 28-80 lens @ 28mm, ISO 100, 3 Exposure HDR @ f/11
  Did a little experimenting this evening. While shooting this wonderful waterfall on Sunday morning I couldn't fit the entire fall in my shot at once so I shot it halves.
  Tonight I had the idea of processing HDR images out of each half and then using Canon's Photostitch software joining them back together for a panoramic view.
  The only problem I had was that when I photographed the right side with the intention of splitting the photos, I got spray from the falls on the lens and spots everywhere.  I had to join two sets of shots that were uneven height-wise and then crop the image after joining.
  All in all I am extremely happy with the results despite the cropping. Will try this again with other waterfalls knowing how well this one went together.

  4. Amy, for you to say that I inspired you in any way is the greatest compliment I could be given.

    Beverly thank you very much for the compliment.

    Toad I had a great time putting this together and because I don't have a wide angle lens, will be doing more of these intentionally. Thanks, bud. You rock!
