A 77 Image panorama of Eastern State Penitentiary

77 Image panorama of Eastern State Penitentiary

After being inspired by Tony Sweet at the recent Triple Header in Hamden CT I had to try out a long hallway at Eastern State Penitentiary (ESP) for a panorama.

• -- I took 9 sets of 7 images from the hallway (3 left, 3 right and one head on) at 17mm, my back against the wall and then 2 sets of 7 images inside (21mm) from the doorway. 
• I HDRed the 2 sets of 7 images into two images and then merged them into one. 
• I HDRed the 9 sets of 7 images into 9 images and then merged them into one.
• Then I masked the 14 image composite into the doorway. 
• Then I applied Nik midnight and detail extractor. 

I cannot wait to go back and try again! We are leading a workshop to Eastern State Penitentiary on Sept 21st and we will have the entire place to ourselves before the public arrives.

Gianna met us at Grand Central Terminal for a HDR photo shoot, she was wonderful to work with! Flexible mentally and physically. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!

Grand Central Terminal Vertorama

We have been photographing inside Grand Central Terminal lately, with tripods, doing HDR and long exposures and zoom blurs. We also lead workshops there, see more about our workshops and classes here.

There have been some great Grand Central Terminal (Susan Candelario and Jason Hipp) Vertoramas being made lately so I had to try my hand at it. You can see more of my GCT photos here.

This image was created  from 77 photographs. 11 positions, each one with 7 exposures. 

HDR'ed in Photomatix and then stitched in Photoshop. 

The final image was 20 inches wide by 48 inches high.

This next set of  images were created  from 35 photographs. 5 positions, each one with 7 exposures. 

HDR'ed in Photomatix and then stitched in Photoshop.

We had a blast at photographing at Grand Central Terminal !!

Having so much fun with HDR

I have been having soooo much fun with HDR

This first image was taken in Radio City Music Hall, yes we went into the bathrooms too since many were decorated in Art Deco, Georgia O'Keefe, etc. 

I titled this image "Now I know why there is never a line for the men's room"

and yes, it is the only time that I have been on the floor in the men's bathroom, LOL

This was taken in the NY public library. The image was 5 exposures HDR and tone mapped using Photomatix and then I added Pooja (a model shot in our studio) and the light rays in post processing.
