Photos 1 -5 are 5 exposures shot in rapid succession (in less than a second) and range from underexposed to overexposed. These were blended together, using the properly exposed areas from each photo to create Photo 6. Notice how the detail is saved in both the highlight and shadow areas of the blended photo.
Photos 7 - 12 show another example of blending bracketed exposures. This shows how I can zoom into particular areas of a jobsite to show more detail.
Photos 13 - 17 are the final blended photographs that were merged together to create the panorama shown in photo 18.
All of these photos were shot from a mast height of about 60 feet using a Nikon D300s DSLR camera with an 18 - 200mm zoom lens. Photos 1 - 6 were shot with the lens set at 18mm. Photos 7 - 12 were shot with the lens set at 55mm. Photos 13 - 17 were shot with the lens set at 18mm. I can control all camera and lens settings remotely from the cab of my truck.
To load an Original size version of any of these photos, move your mouse curser over the photo on the right side of the screen and in the menu that pops out click on 'Original'. Allow time for the whole photo to load before you start to pan around.
(If you wonder why some of the people, cars, or manlifts appear "ghosted" in the blended final photos, it's due to the fact that these things were moving when the exposure brackets were shot. When necessary I can add a step in my post-processing to remove the ghosting.)
