Assignment 6: Landscape and Nature

Nic Dahlquist

This is an exterior panorama taken from Yosemite point. I shot it in monotone infrared (680nm high cut filter) at F/22 and ISO200 for good depth of field and low noise. (The IR boosts contrast in the sky and forest areas). I did a series of shots from left to right in portrait orientation, using a tripod to minimize motion blur. I stitched the images in photoshop, did a bit of localized contrast (curves) adjustment to darken the sky and lighten the rock wall at the right. Downsized for web, smart sharpened.
