A 360 degree panorama I shot last fall in Paris...

Very cool. I was just there last month.

Is that an HDR as well?

[gpauwen]

Thanks for your reply. Paris indeed is a cool place for photography. Tampa isn't so bad either, I have friends there and visit regularly...:)
This is not HDR, although it looks like it. It is a filter (Topaz Adjust spicify filter). With all these people moving around, a single shot HDR would be tough enough. The pano is made of eight shots.

Amazing. I have yet to try a pano but this is spectacular enough to urge me to try. I was also looking at the Topaz filter. Not something I would use a lot but on the right shot it's great.

Spectacular panorama. Personally though, I think that the HDR REALLY takes away from its greatness.

I'd have to agree with that. While I do like what the various Topaz filters can do, it is quite easy to go overboard and overcook your images. Their own instruction videos are a great example of how Topaz Adjust can completely ruin what was originally quite a nice image.

Also, the image (maybe as a result of the Topaz Adjust processing) looks a tad underexposed.

Great looking panorama though! You could try subtly blending the original with the processed image for a more toned down effect. IMO, post processing looks best when you can't tell that it has been processed to begin with.

nice job, but a little too much hdr processing in the sly
