Sunday (21-August-2016) — New Jersey

Summertime Nature in New Jersey.

Pastel Sky at Dawn. Composite of 13 Images taken with a Leica X2 camera and 24 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 125, 24 mm, f/2.8, 1/30 sec). Raw images processed with Capture One Pro and the panorama generated using AutoPano Giga Pro. The program had a bit of a problem the the dark right bottom corner. To take the images I pulled over to the side of the road and took the pictures holding the camera out of the driver side window. I haven’t used this camera for a while, but keep it with me in the car for just this type of opportunity.
