Shooting awesome panoramas has become much easier in recent years. Even iphones do it now!
However, shooting HDR panoramas with seemless joins, covering a full 360 degrees is not so simple.
Unless you have the right toy!
The Syrp Genie Mini
This morning i covered an angle of 200 degrees using my new device taking a total of 4 HDR shots, stitched together in After Effects.
AND THIS IS THE RESULT...
I am not 100% happy with this final image and will try it again during the sunrise colours of the morning and cover a smaller angle allowing for more of the jungle to be in shot. And less of the concrete foundations!
Onward & Upward!

You might not be happy with it. But it is a great photo none the less and better than many people could do. Therefore, I'm ready to see your next one because it'll be amazing if it is better than this one!

Thanks Charles. I was just saying to @dzboston33 that I have a perfectionism problem!
But it drives me always to better myself and it doesn't matter that I never 'get there'.
The important thing is reaching for that never-ending improvement :)

You will surely get there. But dont be too worried about being a perfectionist...you are doing great, so believe in yourself and keep moving

Thanks friend. Appreciate the comment. I have a perfectionism 'problem' and rarely produce work I am 100% happy with! But that is what drives me to the heights I achieve.
I was 100% happy with this one, taken last month here in Bali :)

I do travel photography as well and was looking into purchasing the Genie @samstonehill. How do you like it? I was thinking about getting the full kit — but then Elderkrone came out with there motion kit. Now I'm confused. You can see my work at http://instagram.com/jefflombardo or http://jefflombardo.com if you're interested! Gave a fellow photographer a follow as well. :)

Wow! Just watching the Elderkrone on youtube now. I want one!!! $2599 is a bit out of my range however... for the moment. Come on STEEM!
I use the Genie in conjunction with my digislider track and a second Genie will give me the same 3 axis motion. For a much cheaper price. Though the useablilty of the Elderkrone looks far superior.
I will check out your work now...
Steem on :)

I am lucky to live in a world where there is magic all around me :)
Untouched nature is more than just organic life... it is energy... it is divine. And I love to try and capture that feeling with my HDR shots. Which look more mystical than regular photography.
The Genie did make it easier but the stitching in After Effects took longer than expected. I think there may be a better way....
Will keep you informed :)

It is undoubtedly an amazing snap of the valley. Can you please share what were the aperture and ISO for this ?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Shot on Canon 5D mkiii
lens 24mm f1.4
ISO 100
aperture 22 (I think! Perhaps it was less than this. But to get everything in focus it would have been that end of the scale for sure)
But the reason it looks so cool is because it is HDR. High Dynamic Range.
