First time in the field

and missed to set up the camera right.

Last Wednesday we had again a very nice sunset. The fog was hanging low in the valley of the Neckar and the Sun just began to rise when i set up my capische and started a Panorama.

The Panorama-Program was set up to capture around 180° horizontally and about 90° vertically. Problem was, that i set up the Canon SX200 with CHDK to take 3 pictures but i missed to set it up to M Mode. Result was that i ended up with many Pictures, each 1st one well exposed, each 2nd one underexposed and each 3rd one overexposed. Problem is that the pictures shot directly into the sun are way much less exposed in the 1st ones than the ones that are taken from the ground or from the sky.

Mental Note: Use M-Mode, take 5 pics and measure the right exposure to something middle light.

So i can show you the HDR tonemapped pano i put together of the horizontal pictures.

This one s then some 20 MPixel. If the Pics of the below and above the horizontal pictures i would have become a 56 Megapixel picture out of a 12.1 MPixel Canon SX 200.
