A photostitched, HDR image…sounds like work!

Well, it is, but the results are worth it. To do a photostitched HDR image takes time and patience. The same techniques apply for the photostitching part of the image, i.e. use a tripod, overlap images by 30% and so on. The difference is that you will be taking 3 or 5 images (depending on the light) and bracketing them. In low light, this might mean you will have to work quickly so that that light doesn’t change throughout the image. If there is too much of a difference in light from the first shots to the last, there might be a problem in the stitching process, generally though this works out 99% of the time. I would say that you should challenge yourself to try this. Find a scene that will work well for an HDR image and a photostitch and give it a try. You might be astounded at the results. Below is an image I captured of the Vancouver Convention Centre and Coal Harbour in Vancouver. Enjoy…I would like to hear what you think…
