Kings Park


In correcting the exposure for the foreground (the light deteriorated noticeably when taking this) Hugin left the upper right sky blown #ffffff white. There's also a few annoying exposure seams. How would I go about fixing these problems?

(Oh, I've just realized the cut off building on the LHS - I'll lose that on the next upload.) MER-C 12:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Probably not really answering your questions, but was that section of sky blown in your original images, or has hugin done that for you to try to blend it? TBH I can't help but think you've got the timing a bit wrong, or if not then the camera settings a bit out. The foreground comes up too dark as you suggest, but that's not balanced by say having nice lighting on or in the buildings. Also wonder how quickly you took your originals? You need to try to do them pretty quick, especially when you're in fast changing lighting as you say you were here, or in my experience you won't get it to blend properly. Also not sure if you've noticed, but the whole thing, or at least the main section of the city, has a slight clockwise tilt. It also strikes me as a bit unsharp, I'm wondering if you used a tripod (though with the blur on the headlights I spose you must have), but it probably looks more like a slight motion blur to me rather than anything else and it's not necessarily consistent across the image so may have varied with the various shots (in which case did you use manual shutter release with a slow shutter speed perhaps, where you may have 'bumped' the camera a bit on some shots?). --jjron (talk) 13:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Try reducing the contrast of the input image for the right side before hugening? —Darxus (talk) 20:53, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Exposure blending or HDR is the solution. I can't tell you how to do that in hugin though. Your camera should be in manual. Take two stop bracketed exposures if the dynamic range is big. Gives you a better chance in post processing. Noodle snacks (talk) 08:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
