Originally a 13 panel panorama stitch, this is a cropped version with some color adjustments looking straight up @ the early morning sky in Burlington, VT. Shot from low on the bridge, with a nodal / panorama head on a tripod with a Rokinon 12mm f/2 lens. Stitched in PTGui Pro.
Vertical Panorama – Take 2
A vertical panorama stitch that I reprocessed. This is from Silver Lake, in the Green Mountain National Forest, Vermont as the sun started to lighten the sky. I spent the early hours of the morning capturing Orionid meteors and snapped off a few reflections in the lake. I didn’t realize I had enough images for a pano until I got back to the computer – but I’ve added this to my list of things to try again the next time I have clear skies and interesting landscapes. Imagine, try, fail, learn, repeat.

Re-Processed, Again

Slight re-processing of my stacked version of ~40 frames of images I shot during my Orionids outing last year at Silver Lake in the Green Mountain National Forest. This image is a bonus – after the fact I decided to stack most of the shots I took and align, register and stack them in Pixinsight. I was trying to catch meteors so I was using a 13s shutter speed, which is a just a bit too long for pinpoint stars, and if I were shooting for stacking I could have stepped the aperture down a bit to tighten up the corner stars. With the stars moving and the software doing the alignment the landscape gets blurred – I haven’t had the patience to blend in a static landscape with this shot – but its on my list of skills to practice.

Pilings 1, 2, and 3
I return to ‘Three’ – the pilings in Lake Champlain on the Burlington waterfront often. They are loyal subjects, always available to be photographed, they stand still, and they have quite a bit of character. I took 3 individual shots yesterday morning along with a group shot and have been messing around with processing in Lightroom.
