Another Little HDR Panorama

Gloomy day in Morro Bay-HDR Pano (21 shots)
Been shooting a bunch of HDR panorama recently. The one above is a combination of 21 shots total. Upon initially looking at the scene I was surprised by the actual dynamic range present. It wasn't huge but definitely exceeded the sensor's capabilities. I shot each section at 0, -2, and +2 for about 9 stops of total range.

I used the following equipment.

Canon 5D Mk II
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS
Induro C213 Tripod
Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ballhead
Really Right Stuff Ultimate-Pro Omni-Pivot Package

There are times and places to shoot handheld but I've found when having so many source images it is much easier to shoot with precision. The Really Right Stuff panorama equipment makes everything so much easier. Incredible, bombproof gear.

All shots were processed with Photomatix Pro and then stitched together with Adobe Photoshop CS4. Post processing consisted of a slight tonal range adjustment, a color cast removal, and a small contrast increase.
