Follow A Straight Line - when taking the shots, try to follow as much as possible a straight line (keeping for example the horizon at the same height in your viewfinder) if you have a tripod, use it!.Overlap Shots - make sure that each frame has sufficient overlap with the previous one (something between 1/2 and 1/3 of the total area), so that hugin can find enough control points to align the images and determine the lens correction parameters.Manual Focus - set the camera to manual focus, so that the focus plane is the same for all shots.Shooting a panorama requires a bit of preparation and planning to make sure that one can get the best out of Hugin when stitching the shots together.

The rest of the post will show how to get there…īefore we continue, let me advise you that I’m not a pro, and that the tips and “recommendations” that I’ll be giving in this post are mostly derived from trial-and-error and common sense.įeel free to correct/add/suggest anything… we are all here to learn! Taking the shots In this case I have used the brightest image for the foreground, the darkest one for the sky and clouds, and and exposure-fused one for a seamless transition between the two.
The final result of the post-processing is below:įinal result of the panorama editing (click to compare to simple +1EV exposure) The PhotoFlow RAW editor is used to prepare the initial images and to finalize the processing of the assembled panorama. The three exposures are stitched together with the Hugin suite, and then exposure-blended with enfuse. This panorama was obtained from the combination of six views, each consisting of three bracketed shots at -1EV, 0EV and +1EV exposure.
To explain my workflow I will use the image below as an example.
The goal of this tutorial is to show how to create a sort-of-HDR panoramic image using only Free and Open Source tools.
