Nightime b&w pano

Nightime b&w pano from Athens. Shot RAW at ISO800 with the Peleng 8mm @3.5, 1/50 and converted with different exposure settings in Capture One for some pseudoHDR to get rid of burnt highlights.

Quicktime: tinyurl.com/yrad4y
Java: tinyurl.com/yv9n2m
Devalvr: tinyurl.com/25jdrm

Contains soundtrack, I have set the volume low but be warned anyway. Btw, the flash music player is a good way to add sound without embending it into the pano file itself. It's free and can be downloaded from here: www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_MP3_Player

Hi

Love the music! Could I suggest you try to get a bit more detail into the shadows?

If you have a copy of PhotoShop CS try using the Image/adjustments/Shadow-highlight tool to lift the shadow detail. it looks very dark on my screen. I didn't see the women putting money in the case until I lightened the image up.....



Thanks for the details of the Flash MP3 player I will give that a go.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for tips, I use this page to adjust my monitor brightness/contrast/gamma:

www.cambridgeincolour.com/viewing.htm

In my screen I can see all dark and light gradations and the gray box appears to blend in the background as it should, so I assume I have my monitor set correctly. Can you see the gradations on that page?

Bravo Bravo isn't double typo you deserve it smile

I like it very much. Until the player makers will manage to add also a grey scale not only pretty buttons for play or control, you could add one simple like on my own panos posted here to encourage people to adjust their display on the fly.
Anyway your screen seems to be correct calibrated

thanks for sharing,

Dorin
p.s.

I mean add this

Looks great ! I'm suprised by the sharpness of all the (moving) people. Have to try it myself sometime.
You also have a color version ?
