HDR Rainbow Panorama

Hi all - really gave my software a workout on this. Lightroom for initial white balance, Photomatix for HDR, Elements 9 for panorama processing with final adjustments back in Lightroom. C&C welcome

Looks nice . Is this a single exposure or multiple ?

Now there's a shot you don't see everyday. Nice.

Thanks everyone. Ron, it was 2 images, each composed of 3 shots at -2, 0, and +2.

Basically tho you mean 6 images total stacked in Photomatix , right ?

Hey Ron - to be absolutely clear:

- I took 3 images of the left hand side of the photo at -2, 0, +2
- I overlapped 3 images of the right hand side of the photo, also at -2, 0, +2 - Didnt have a wide enough lens to get the whole rainbow (in point of fact there was a double rainbow, but the fainter one didnt really come thru - I may try to bring that out later
- I imported them all into Lightroom 4, adjusted the white balance on the 0 left hand side image, then applied the same adjustment to the other 5 images
- I exported the LHS to Photomatix and played around til I got the effect I wanted - didnt really do too much, but cant remember the exact setting. Imported that back to Lightroom
- Repeated the procedure for the RHS, making sure I applied the same Photomatix settings as the LHS
- I took the 2 tifs that came out of Photomatix and took them into Elements 9 and used the Panorama tool to overlap the images and create the panorama
- Took the resulting pamorama image into Lightroom and applied pp there
- Exported it as a jpg, reducing the size to fit forum guidelines

Thanks for the interest

In a shorter sentence , yes that is what i was thinking when you said 2 sets of 3 = 6 images total to make the panaroma .
