Picture of the Day

Tuesday night was supposed to be Jazz night on the boardwalk at The Pearl. I couldn't fnd the jazz but did find classical violins - part of the same outfit by all accounts.

As I had time to spare I took this photo.

A total of 42 exposures, tonemapped in Photomatix and stitched together using Autostitch

Is #3 the one with the beautiful backdrop of the Doha skyline?

Chris, please read above .... I said there was no JAZZ. Yes, we sat and listened to the 2 Classical violinists for a while, but jazz it wasn't.

Hi - I'm Chris Coull from Doha Jazz. I don't know where YOU were that night - but i can assure you there has been live music every Tuesday and Sunday. There are 3 duets performing a mixture of jazz and classical music - at Parcel 1,2 and 3 (Those place are dotted along the boardwalk). I can only assume you were not at any of those places at those times.

B2D, I hope you are being commissioned to put your work to publication, as it should be both promoted and preserved.

Re: the Jazz events,

Promotion and dissemination of information of events is still sorely lacking in this country. I wasn't here for the Asian Games, but if they want the World Cup or the Olympics, they've got a long way to go. . .

Tall, 3 shots at 0, +2, -2, then move along. Each 3 shots HDR'd first then stitched last. If you try to stitch then HDR the stitched pictures come out different sizes and the HDR software won't work!

UK, I think Mr. Al Emadi called the please. All work stopped on the demolition :o)

Good work fella.

Quick question;

Did you take several shots at different exposures, than pan across a bit, then take several shots at different exposures, then pan across a bit, and so on, and so on?

Or did you take all the shots of the panorama at one exposure, then re-do them all at another exposure, and so on, and so on?

ps. autostitch rocks.
