Too bad that when one fully corrects a fisheye lens distortion, a lot of the photo is lost. But at least now Lightroom supports the Canon 8-15 fisheye, without needing to search for user created correction profiles.

This is another photo of the John Frost bridge in Arnhem, taken with a fish eye lens, corrected in Lightroom and then combined into HDR in Oloneo Photoengine.

Last hours to preorder the Radian 2

I mentioned some time ago the Kickstarter campaign for the Radian 2 time lapse motion device. And right now is the last time you can get it from there, as it will probably not be available for some time, until all the Kicstarter orders are filled. For those who don’t know what Radian 2 is, you can check my review of the Radian 1 and also the Kicstarter page.

Second vertorama from Vienna

How about another vertorama from Vienna. It’s actually taken from the other side of the same bridge :) I did a vertorama here, as with a single image, without having any distortion, I could not get the tops of all the building in the shot. And with the cut off, it just looked strange.

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 2*4, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 8.0s, ISO: 100, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.21168, 16.38269

And they are really crazy bright. Especially on the middle, main tower. Took quite a few layers, but I somehow managed to tone it down back into something more normal :) You can see quite a difference compared with the night photo, where the light are off (which I posted few days ago here)

This is a HDR from 5 exposures, created in Oloneo Photoengine, which I blended into one of the original exposures (mostly just the church).

Technique: Oloneo Photoengine, Number of exposures: 5, Camera Model: Sony a7R + Metabones Adapter ver. IV, Lens: Canon 16-35mm F2.8, Focal length: 16mm, Aperture: 11, Middle exposure time: 8s, ISO: 200, Tripod used: yes, Location: 48.19907, 16.37126

Time to update the wallpaper page again, today with two new 21:9 wallpapers, both in 3440×1440 resolution :) I really like this aspect ratio, and I hope the monitors using it will catch on more, and more people will enjoy the stunning feeling of immersion using them.

Get them both from the wallpapers page.

Let’s continue with another photo from Vienna. This one is a 2 tile vertorama from under one of the bridges in the city center :) I haven’t used a panoramic head here, but since it’s only two tiles, I managed to combine them nicely using PTgui.
