Equipment: I used the Nikon D100 with Sigma 8mm fishey. With regard to the long exposure time I had to use a tripod, manfrotto 344BR with No 438 levelling plate and the No 469RC2 ball-head.
The pictures were taken in portrait position with the panosaurus head.
To reduce noise, I used the camera´s internal noise reduction system and took the pictures in NEF format. Later I changed the metering to +1.
I stitched with ptgui 3.7beta1 / autopano 1.03 / enblend.
After stitching the pictures I used a soft filter to reduce the noise of the sky. After that action I applied a soft resharpening with unsharp mask.
Erik Krauses tool helped to edit the cube-faces and ptgui re-stitched the cube-faces to a flat panorama.
With PanoCube+ the *.move files where created. |

Sanctuary has a double meaning for me: For me it is a place of personal freedom and quietness, but also a place of protected nature. For over 30 years I have been one of these "morning joggers". Summer and winter, sun or rain, no weather will stop ..
