Good Morning, London Making of

Would it lose the magic if I showed how I did it?

The photos were all taken in manual mode, merged to hdr in photoshop, then opened in photomatix, detail enhanced with the same setting with the batch option. (photomatix is quite bad at aligning photos)

I tried aligning the photos with photoshop cs3, and hugin but neither could do it properly (i blame myself)

Well, there are about 8 hours (i guess) of work put in between the 3rd and the 4th box but I didn't have anything I could show you there... it's mainly because of photoshop being unable to stitch/blend them properly due to the plenty lines and parallax error as it was handheld.

So I split the top and bottom half of the pano and stitched them seperately.

It went all wonky.

But the wrap transform is a godsend. With it I aligned the top and bottom half back, and blended it back in.

Minor levels and colour balance applied.

Thanks for looking and reading
