Pic of the Day #577
Here’s another panoramic, almost identical to this previous attempt…but substantially more massive as well. Unlike the previous panoramic, this one is not merely composed from a single row of shots; sixteen shots arranged eight across and two down comprise this picture — it’s the equivalent of a 61 megapixel image (albeit not in the standard 3×2 image format one might expect).

As usual, I used Hugin to make this picture, and as usual it was almost flawless in its performance (there is only one seam error that I’ve found in this image so far). The editing process was pretty straightforward: exposures between all the images were matched, and the same blend of edits — the calibration/Punch preset, some minor noise reduction, and shadow and highlight adjustments — was applied to each photo. Hugin was then used to stitch them together.
It’s a pretty cool scene, if I do say so myself; the cargo itself is an interesting enough subject, and the cranes on the left provide an eye-catching scenic piece (the astute Reader will also note the ship currently being loaded sitting just beneath the arms of the cranes). Even the sky kind of worked out, despite being full of clouds.
