Thanks Mike. I love that the CO trip sticker is still a part of the buggy. ;-)

I just keep getting mileage out of this shot... LOL. In real live, there is another notch just out of frame on the original. I had to make more land.

I had to make more land on the left for the Facebook Cover photo.

When you are standing in slippery bird crap on an upper level where the floor is falling in in spots and there is not a camera lens wide enough to capture the whole room with equipment even shooting from as far back in the corner as you can, you can do what'd you'd do for a wide lansdcape shot that you can't fit in one image: take multiple photos to stitch together into a panoramic later. I took 8 shots at 17mm from the tripod swiveled to different directions to get this room. Back home I used a panoramic tool to stitch them all together with straight perspective lines. I then tonemapped the merged stitched shot in Photomatix and put the original stitch back over it with an opacity of 66% so the mapped effect was not over the top but the shadows and colors were brought out to my liking.

I just ripped my pants. I have GOT to start wearing my boner pants to work if you keep posting stuff like this and then talking all sexy PP talk.

Damn.

Killer Mike.

Awesome pics

I'd say you did a great job. Lost just a little sharpness in team yellow shot.

I got too heavy with the Burn tool the last few weeks but its been a really good exercise and learning experience, but I have started practicing with the Dodge tool now to bring out areas of the pic (like the drivers inside the cab in some shots), but I've noticed that has an impact on sharpness too. Thanks for the feedback man.

Awe. Some.

You, sir, have a talent second to none.

I like the photo, but I need it for a horizontal space and it just would't work... so I created some more stuff.

Pffft. You owe me a coffee now. And a keyboard.

Sometimes bad lighting is a killer. Too dark or too light.


That's when you take 3 exposures and blend them on your own.

Unreal. Very cool, Mike.

Thanks again for the Chris before and after. It was hard to believe they were the same rig.

Old one
