Spoon Bay Star Trail Digital Panoramic

Contributor: Matt Lauder

Length: 21.11

Added: 20/08/2010

Category: Masterclasses

A masterclass totally different from the rest as this panoramic stitch is taken at night using only moonlight for illumination.

Our RAW files are firstly processed through Lightroom 2 and then sent to Photoshops Photomerge from Lightroom to create the panorama. Once our final stitch is complete we go through the post production process in CS5 to bring out the essential elements of the image. Boost colour, clarity, colour tone, shadow and highlight detail and more.

During the process we also discuss how the images were taken and the settings used.

Our snap shot below of the tutorial is taken after the image has been processed in Lightroom 2 and stitched in Photoshop CS5's photomerge.
