2 Pro Mt. Index

[Jim D]

I hiked up to Lake Serene below Mt. Index off of Hwy 2 in WA last week. Not a spectacular sunrise I was hoping for but got some good shots of the dramatic north and east faces of this incredible mountain. All drone shots are RAW panos processed and stitched in computer.


Here is the typical view from the lake taken with my Sony A7rII

Hi Jim, congratulations for the shots. The dramatic tone that black and white manages to convey is also beautiful. Can you give us more information on the type of panoramas you did for the 2 shots? Thank you.

Thanks for the comments guys.

John, for my panos I shoot all RAW manually framing the shots. The first drone shot was 3 rows of 4 I think. I always shoot manual exposure, normally f4 with shutter speed adjusted to not blow out the highlights. I process all the shots in ACR then take them back into PS where the bursts are layered and median blended to reduce noise. Those shots are saved as tif and brought back into ACR where they are stitched into a pano and final adjustments made.
