Panoramic Landscape HDR PhotographyPanoramic Landscape photo taken using HDR photography technique. Photo was shot out west in Loxahatchee. Panoramic landscape photography, especially high dynamic range panoramas can be very time consuming. However the results are very satisfying and rewarding.

This panoramic landscape photo is compiled of 9 shots from three different angles. One from the left, another from the center and the last from the right. I took 3 exposures of each angle so I can make an HDR panoramic. Most of my time was spent stitching images together which was a pain in the rear. Eventually I was able to compose it all to together seamlessly (I wish I knew about the Photoshop Photomerge tool then it wold have saved me a whole lot of time!). For reference I included all of the original exposures and the original Photomatix tone mapped verison for each angle.
