Thematic Post-Processing Challenge #400

**Fdooch** · 01-12-2022, 07:23 AM

Thanks to Carrowdown for first place in Challenge 399.

After many challenges, it’s harder to find material.
All the more important task for the anniversary.

Here's what I have prepared for you.
This summer I went on a small hike for a few days.
My father was from this place. It is not far, less than 200 km from Moscow, where I live.
4 am, fog.
This is a panorama of 4 files.
Shots with pixel shift.

IMGP2260.DNG
IMGP2261.DNG
IMGP2262.DNG
IMGP2263.DNG

I am somewhat confused by the fact that each file is 150MB in size.
But I hope there are some real post-processing enthusiasts among you.

For the cover, I chose a different image made in the same place.

Who...

Each of the four file links is giving me an error and not allowing a download.

Can you please my friend, do a quick check your end, thanks.

If you mean a big white rectangle with an error sign, then this is just a picture.
There is a download button at the top of the site. I checked before publishing, all links worked.
True, I ran into the problem of accessing the media file via vpn

I have corrected the links. Now they go directly and not through the advertising page of the mediafile. I hope now no one will have any difficulties

Download is ok here :-)

Many thanks for sorting that out, files now downloaded fine.

Nice images. I tried to edit each one individually (as uniformly as possible) then stitch all four with Microsoft ICE. However I was getting some stitching artifacts that wouldn't go away, so I ended up using only three images.

On a fine chalk stream, just ready for a wee cast or two...

Here's mine

Bubblepop · 01-16-2022, 05:24 PM

Here's an attempt at one of the four

**Fdooch** · 01-18-2022, 07:27 AM

Apparently, for many, the task proved overwhelming. Or the image is too boring. In any case, today I will close the challenge and announce the winner.

**Fdooch** · 01-18-2022, 10:06 AM

So, let's begin.

Kerrowdown - you are clearly in a hurry. I expected more from you.
cg57 - not bad. But the left side came out rude.
noelcmn and Bubblepop - it was possible to choose compositionally more successful sections from the panorama. From the gentle morning mist you made a dust storm.
xs400 - very good. You paid attention to small details. But the overall impression of the photo is somewhat dirty.
And the winner is simon_199.

Well, own version

Thank you for the challenge. Yes, the left side is rough. It looked better in LR. When I posted on here, I saw the ugly. However, not sure of the rules but, once I committed to posting on PF, I wasn't going to retract the image.

Congrats to the winner - simon_199.
And thank you to all who took part.
Looking forward to the next challenge.
