City of lights

Strange curved line... did you use the b = -0.035 parameter and the 130° hfov ?

No, I noticed later that I had forgotten to correct for barrel distortion... but then when I did correct it, the rest of the image got too distorted, so I gave up.

It's not that noticeable at the edge and it give the photo a feel of rushing along in juxtaposition with the curves in the clouds

I love it

Hi there!

The Trocadero, with its unparalleled view over the Eiffel tower. Down the stairs, from the pont Iéna, you get a nice view on the river Seine.

Original fisheye shot defished with Hugin. Tonemapped HDR image from 4 exposures (-3/-1/+1/+3) obtained with Photomatix.

mikeletron2 says:

It's a fantastic shot but i watched original size and I saw that there's something moving, is the bracketing? Is it wanted? I must admit taht the photo at the large size is sharp and neat, and I think it can give a good large print too, so let me know.
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Manυ says:

mikeletron2: For one part, yes, it's the bracketing: eventhough it was shot at 2.5 fps (actually 5 fps, but I used 1 of every 2 shots), people do move a bit in a 1 sec lapse, hence the blur on the people. Another thing was that this was shot handheld, and unfortunately I moved a little, in a way that I couldn't correct easily. But the eiffel tower and the statue are sharp enough, it's what I wanted. :)

mullenite says:

I noticed the comment in the image about the barrel distortion, I did not read the above comments but will say that I feel the distortion adds to the aesthetics of the photo. It is something that is not normally done in a photo like this because I think most feel it detracts from the image, however in this case I personally feel that it helps with the framing, keeping your eyes more towards the center of the image.
