Panoramas are a good way to show the beauty of a grandiose scene, and often we have to shoot them at the golden hour where the sun is very strong in one part of the scene and not in the other.
I have been confronted with this problem many, many times and found different solutions to this, but today I wanted to show you a new workflow I tried on a photo I took in Malibu last week. The workflow goes like this:
1. Bracket the entire scene by 2 f-stops. Make sure your basic exposure is on the sun, so the sun is not burnt. The best is to put your camera on self timer and it should take the 3 shots and shoot the entire scene.
2. In Lightroom, retouch the overexposed photo for the dark areas, and use the normal exposure for the highlights, and fully retouch each photo including white balance.
3. Merge the photo using Photomerge in Photoshop.
4. Correct any horizon alignment problems using the warp tool with Command (Ctrl) T.
5. Use the pen and stamp tool to correct any issues created from merging.
6. Use the patch tool to clean up any inconsistencies from the merging.
It is a more complex workflow but with a bit of training you should get some spectacular golden hour panoramas!
