HDR Panoramic View from Phuket Thailand

May 30, 2010 | HDR Panoramas, Travel & Culture

This is the view from Phuket that I’ve been raving about. A standard photo just won’t do, only an HDR panoramic image can really show this breathtaking scenery. I would have uploaded a larger file but this internet connection in Thailand is unbearably slow. This is the first HDR panoramic shot processed from my trip. I did one from Angkor Wat but have yet to process it. The stiching was done in Photoshop using the Photo Merge tool. I shot this with my telephoto at 100mm. I used Photomatix to create the HDR image… I used the batch tool to process them all at once. For reference I created the HDR image first then stitched the files together in Photoshop. All together this was a total of 39 exposures.

Software Used for Processing Photo:
Photomatix
– Used for creating high dynamic range.
Topaz Adjust
– Photoshop plugin used to enhance details.
Topaz DeNoise
– Photoshop plugin used to eliminate noise.
Topaz Clean
Photoshop plugin used to smooth pixels.
