Dicker Turm
THIS was the best sunset I saw over heidelberg since I'm trying to shoot this scene! Last week I was at the same place and well there was a sunset but the WOW was missing. Yesterday evening my jaw was hanging open for more than one hour and I couldn't stop taking pictures. Here's the last one. It was just awesome, the colors changing and changing and finally I had the perfect harmony between the cities red rooftops and the sky.
You might not see it but it's a panorama from 3 shots, bracketing 3 exp for each to do a dri and get the dynamic range which was needed here. I was very carefull to compose the scene with every important building having it's place in the frame.
Hope this shot does evoke some similar feelings as I had them when seeing this sky :-)
Details: f/11 | 11mm | 3exp bracketing + DRI -> pano from 3 vertical shots (Nodal Ninja 5L used) Processing: enfuse GUI for DRI , Hugin for Pano stitching
cheers

The evening before I took the Kraichgau photo I photographed this scene in Heidelberg. Beautiful view as usual. I waited just for the lights to go on to snap the last shot.
In total this photo is combined out of 5 exposures I took while my camera was mounted on the tripod. This was needed to get good detail and even light in the whole scene.
Wanna see how I put those exposures together, then watch my exposure blending timelapse, which I recorded for this shot.
