Verrazano-Narrows Bridge 10 shot pano

Very nice....you have a difference in contrast between the left and right sides of the image, though. Correct that issue and you'll have one to hang on the wall.

I would also clone out the little branches on the left edge.

thanks for the cc fraserj1!

the contrast difference you see i think is because the sun has just gone down to the right

Very nice pano of the Verrazano bridge! Do you use a pano bracket? I have a Nodal Ninja pano bracket that I still have to learn how to use :-) I also saw the Williamsburg bridge shots you posted recently... also very nice. I've got to get down to that Schaefer Landing waterfront for some shots. I actually live very close by but never made it down there to check it out.

BTW, it's funny you mention that ships need to be built to fit under the Verrazaon Bridge. Recently I took a cruise ship out of NYC and when the ship went under the bridge I had to hold my breath! It looked like the smokestack of the ship BARELY fit under the bridge! Anyway, after I breathed I sigh of relief when the ship cleared the bridge I snapped this photo. It wasn't taken with a Nikon so I hope that's ok with this forum.

Nothing wrong with that right side Anthony. You explained it correctly. It's the sunset. I agree w/cloning out the leaves on the top left though.

Very crisp photo and well stitched............although, I'm not sure it's the most spectacular bridge in NYC. In my heart, it goes to the Brooklyn Bridge ;)

Excellent. The color of the water... is that from the bridge lighting?

Also... did you shoot s 5x2 pano (landscape) or a 10x1 pano (portrait)?

Or was it a 10x1 landscape with a lot of overlap?

Did you use AE and focus lock?

Great result. Beautiful.

No there isn't anything wrong with contrast on the the right side, it looks completely natural on my calibrated monitor. The issue is on the left side where there is a lack of contrast on the walkway down to the hill at the left of the bridge. This area needs a selective contrast boost to deepen the blacks.

I've taken the liberty to provide an example. Given that all I had as the jpg this is about the best I could do, but with a RAW file I'm sure that you could do better.

i think its from the lower tier, there are green lights, or just scuzzy water lol.



thephoto was 10 frames portrait with about a 40 percent overlap. everything on the camera manual and raw format so i can change the wb later on.
