Spread Your Wings

"Spread Your Wings"

I had to get out under the stars at least once during International Dark Sky Week. I headed back to the pine forest that was completely burnt out by a bushfire a few months ago. It is quite eerie walking amongst all the bare trees.

19 image all sky panorama. Canon 5D MkII, 14mm, F/2.8, ISO 3200, 19 x 30 seconds.
It was only after I stitched the images together that I noticed the bird like pattern made by the trees against the sky.

Nice result Greg! I'm surprised you managed the whole sky with 19 images... how much overlap do you use? I'm just starting to play around with panos, but I think I must be taking too many images!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thank you very much Stephen At least 50%. I like to have a particular object appear in the set of images at least 3 times. Once to the left of frame, once in the middle and once on the right. With 14mm on a full frame camera you can cover the whole sky with just 5 images (look up Colin Legg's 5 camera all sky timelapse work), but you don't get much foreground. It has a field of view of about 115 degrees. So for this I did 14 images shooting portrait style around the horizon and basically getting about 45 degrees foreground and about 70 degrees above the horizon. I then did 4 images pointed 45 degrees above the horizon at the 4 major compass points. And finally one image pointed straight up. I'll continue on your thread....

Thank you very much Bob PS always used to fail on me too for this sort of projection which is why I took the plunge and purchased a bit of dedicated pano software (PtGui Pro) and it handles this sort of thing really easily. I have not tried in PS since but I have heard that later versions of PS like CS6 and CC are better at panos.
