I reprocessed this image for kicks using a new HDR strategy. I like it better than my other one.

Panorama comes from two words that literally mean “all” and “sight”. The purpose of a panorama is to captures as much of a field of view as possible, usually by combining several individual shots into a single image. High Dynamic Range (HDR) panoramas combine High Dynamic Range photography with panoramic photography techniques.

Panoramic images date back to before photography, as there are many panoramic paintings. Panoramic photography is as old as photography itself. The first photographic panoramas were simply shots overlaid on top of one another. More sophisticated techniques were invented to create what appeared to be “seamless” photos. With modern digital photography, this is easy to accomplish with panoramic stitching software, which we will cover later. With this in mind, this tutorial will show, how to compose an HDR panorama, then generally cover the post-processing of such images.

The sun was coming up behind the mountains in the east behind some clouds. I thought it would make a nice shot, so here it is.

Here’s another HDR shot I did…This shot is of the entrance to the Anantara Resort in the Golden Triangle.  April and I vacationed here not to long ago.

April looking out over a valley. This image is (I think) the first HDR I’ve shot with a person. The light was low as the day was nearing sunset, so I bracketed the shot to capture the cloud details and details in the foliage.
