I met up with Warne Riker downtown Nashville the other evening to get a shot I’ve had in mind for a while. The Lion King trailer is there because of the Lion King musical that is playing at the TPAC.

Late last week I had to head into Nashville early so I decided to stop to get a few shots of the city. I realized I completely lucked out just as I was parking. I quickly headed to the banks of the Cumberland River and this is what happened:

Typically, this is a great spot to shoot the sunset but there was so much color in the sky from the sunrise this morning that it stretched all the way into the western sky. The above photo is a 6 shot panorama. Each is a 3 exposure HDR. The photos were merged into HDR using Photomatix and then merged into panorama using Photoshop.

 

Once the sky died down a bit and the sun came up more it cast some beautiful orange light on the buildings:

I have another shot from this morning that I will be using for another full tutorial over on SOHDR.com – check it out if you are interested in learning HDR!

These photos are pretty fun to attempt. You’re never really sure how they will turn out and occasionally you end up with a beautiful piece of art. See the bottom of this post for more info on the technique used.

 

Here are a couple of my most recent attempts:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of older favorites as well:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The technique used to create these is pretty simple. Set the shutter to a fairly slow speed (0″3, 0″6, 1/6, 1/8 etc) and pan the camera when shooting. Practice with different shutter speeds, different panning speeds, panning directions, and of course different subjects until you get something you like.
