Hong Kong Pano+HDR

Well the other day i realised that i had never tried out HDR processing. I also noticed that i’d never tried making panoramas, so i thought i’d give both manipulations a go. I went back looking through some old photos and found a set that might be suitable. As it turns out, the pictures weren’t that brilliant as they were taken through a glass window and lacked a fair bit of detail and sharpness for a good HDR, but i thought it would be a good opportunity to practice anyway. I tried very hard to not get that typical shitty over processed look that HDR images often produce, so i think i accomplished that atleast.
Below is my panorama and HDR of a view from a hotel room i was staying in when visiting Hong Kong last year. I think it turned out ok considering the original pictures i started with. Now that i know how HDR’s and Pano stitching works, i think i can take some pictures that will produce a better result next time.

**Here is another version i did without the crop, and more playing around with the colours.. I kind of like it. Definately not perfect though..
