Scenic Panoramas
Buffalo mountain, Talihina, OK, Mel Hair's hang glider launch on Google Maps, October 2015, S 8mm lens
Worden, KS, Canon 8-15 mm lens, October 2015
Standard workflow now followed: 3-bracketed exposures (normal and +/- 2 stops) taken at each position at 90 deg offsets, merged into 4 HDR images in Photomatix Pro, retouched in Picasa or Gimp, panorama stitched in PTGui Pro, further correction if needed in Gimp. Pano tour group ingested to Google Street View editor and linked and positioned on satellite map of site. Google software creates pano spheres, patches the black nadir hole, and blurs out faces and license plates, then publishes in Google Maps. For individual panos not published to Maps nadir hole at bottom can be extracted in Pano2VR, repaired in Gimp and reinserted in Pano2VR before final creation of photosphere.
