Comment Il spir is a viewing platform over the Rhine gorge (Ruinaulta) in the Swiss canton of Grisons. There is one other FP of Ruinaulta, but with a different view. --Domob (talk) 07:12, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Support -- Domob (talk) 07:12, 20 June 2022 (UTC)- Comment The stitched sky is not consistent. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:43, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for the feedback -- I see what you mean. Unfortunately I'm not sure what/if I can do about this; individual spots and things like that are easy to retouch, but for wide areas of sky it usually just becomes worse if I try that. --Domob (talk) 11:21, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Question I don't know the technology/process, but if this is a common problem with a stitched sky, would it not be better to use fewer images? The frames are less than 2000 pixels wide which seems strange. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- In case it helps, there are a thing or two you can do to mitigate : 1. ensure you are in manual mode and that all source photos are taken with same exposure (and focus, but that's not the topic here) ; 2. Process them exactly the same way ; 3. Your stitching software probably has a "exposure optimisation feature" to mitigate exposure differences ; 4. Last resort, brighten the sky on that source photo where sky which is darker before stitching. If you do 1, 2 and 3, you should never have to resort to 4. but we're all human and can make mistakes in the rush of the moment. - Benh (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks Charles and Benh! I always do 1, 2 and 3, but will take a closer look today again at the raw frames to see if I find any specific flaw that I can correct (or maybe as Charles suggests tweak the included/excluded frames and/or masks). --Domob (talk) 04:16, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Done I've now uploaded a slightly tweaked revision, where I tried to improve the "worst offender" in terms of sky (on the left side of the image slightly above the mountains). I also tried a few different other things with the raw frames, but unfortunately wasn't able to produce anything overall better. --Domob (talk) 08:45, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Oppose That might be a cruel vote, but 1. that patch of darker sky is mostly gone, but there are still seams in the sky 2. a busier sky might have helped composition wise. 3. the cut off river bending is a deal breaker. - Benh (talk) 09:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks for the feedback, I can definitely see your points (although I personally don't see them as deal breakers, otherwise I would not have nominated the image). Unfortunately for 2 and 3 in particular, there's nothing I can do about it obviously; that's just how the weather on the day was, and how the view from the platform looks like (but that's not an excuse of course, your points are valid). --Domob (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
