Along the Niagara Escarpment in Southern Ontario, Canada

Equipment: A Canon 20D with a Canon 18-55mm lens set at the 18mm setting was used on a Kaidan Kiwi+ pano head. The panorama was stitched together with RealViz Stitcher V4.
The shot of the falls consisted of three time exposures taken through sharp cutoff filters in red, green, and blue. The shots were then combined in a composite to create the rainbow effect in the flowing water over the falls and then blended into panorama that you see.
This panorama was shot with available light at 1/6 of a second @ f 5.6 in Raw mode on the Canon 20D. I used a Kaidan Kiwi+ pano head and made a series of 18 scenes or photographs. I processed all the images in the RAW conversion software Capture One Pro V3.7 from Phase. This software allows me to set the white point balance, drop the contrast, adjust the colour saturation, and fine tune the exposures before I create pixels. This process allows for a better workflow and cleaner files then correcting in PhotoShop. The images are then stitched together in RealViz Stitcher and the QuickTime panoramas are then converted from the flat tiff images. |
