Overnight view outside my hotel room window. Images taken with an Insta360 X5 camera.
Composite of 32 images taken with a Hasselblad 907x camera and 25 mm f/2.5 lens (ISO 800, f/8, 32 sec exposures) processed using Photoshop (scripts, statistics, maximum). Clouds were moving through, and you can see some star trails.
A springtime Little Planet view of my backyard from the past. The image is a composite of 37 images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and Bower 8 mm fisheye lens and then processed with AutoPano Giga Pro. AutoPano Giga is no longer available/supported so I now use PTGui Pro to create little planet images. I think I was using a Mindarin Astro to rotate the camera and trigger the camera. I stood next to the tripod so my shadow would be visible in the image. The two Sycamore trees no longer exist, the deck was replaced with a patio, and there are now solar panels on the roof of the house. Much of the backyard grass has been converted to a wildflower meadow.
It was foggy after yesterday’s heavy rain. The wildflower meadow in my backyard is all green with a few flowers starting to bloom. Right now, it is a race between the desired wildflowers and the undesired weeds. My definition of a weed is something that doesn’t have a flower that I am interested in and/or something that is growing aggressively and blocking the desired wildflowers. While on my morning backyard walkabout I took a sequence of 81 images to combine and create a “Little Planet” view of the wildflower meadow before most of the flowers start to bloom. I used the PTGui Pro program to process the images and create the 360-degree Little Planet view.
