This one was an absolute bear to stitch. In the future I’ll avoid shooting directly beneath massive amounts of intersecting utility lines. The bulk of the stitching went pretty quickly, but cleaning up the wires in Photoshop took forever. This is also my first attempt at using Photomatix to get a tone mapped image from three different exposures. I’m unimpressed with most of the tone mapped images that seem to be tickling everyone’s fancy currently. I was attempting to accurately recreate the scene rather than make the digital equivalent of a black velvet painting. Overall I’m pretty happy with it, but I still want to continue to tweak my settings a little bit. Right now I’m going to go tweak my pillow.
Be sure to see the interactive version too.
