Art Gallery WantedParis - 2 of 4 in Paris
I am a (mostly) amateur photographer lucky enough to travel often professionally. Whenever I'm travelling I'm bringing my tripod and camera along, so I can shoot panoramas. I plan to upload most of my non-profit panos here.
I also shoot panos professionally for corporations or institutions - sadly I'm not allowed to post them here for most of them. References include Nokia and BNP Paribas.
I started taking pictures and panoramas in 2005. My first setup was a Nikon D50, the NN3 pano head and the Sigma 10-20mm zoom. I've since upgraded to a Nikon D3, the NN5 and the Nikkor 14-24 zoom, which is nowadays my main shooting gear. When I need to be quick, I also use my D80 and the Nikon fisheye 10.5mm - it's only 7 pictures instead of 12 or 16.
In many of my panos I make a liberal use of HDR - I usually shoot several exposures (from 3 to 9), and decide at post-processing time whether or not to use HDR.
Software-wise, my workflow uses DxO, Autodesk Stitcher (ex RealViz), Photomatix where applicable, and a liberal pinch of Photoshop/Lightroom. DxO was a must to remove non-linear distorsions from the images coming out of the 14-24, until the same feature became available in Lightroom.
