Panorama

 

Photos before stitching

For this assignment, we were to take 4-6 frames for a panorama, and manually stitch the photos together to form a panorama. I took a 4-frame panorama of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Presidio in San Francisco. I took this at around 7:20 PM, so golden hour had already passed, and thus the sunset was quite dark at the time. 

The Golden Gate bridge was placed in the panorama so that it was about a third of the way in, and while not intentional, made for an aesthetically pleasing photo. 

The lighting made stitching the photo together very difficult, as each frame got darker and darker as it continued to pan to the right. However, with just a little exposure adjustment, the panorama came together more seamlessly. To stitch them together, I used layer masks to create a seamless panorama.

I think had I gotten to that location earlier, the panorama would have turned out better and with more even lighting.
