Volcanic haze in Hawaii

tonnes · February 25, 2010 at 8:57 PM

The volcano on the Big Island has been spewing out more smoke, and this is an El Niño year so the tradewinds are less reliable. So we've had a lot of vog (volcanic fog) lately. This is looking east towards Honolulu.

Hi David,

7 shots handheld, Canon 5Dmkii, EF70-200 f/2.8L IS at 160mm, f/5, 1/2500, ISO 400. Processed the raw files in photoshop. Output 21mp, 16-bit tiffs.

Over to PTGUI. Output a cropped, 24586 x 3271 rectangular panorama. Back to photoshop to tweak curves, vibrance, and a little noise reduction.

Dropped the pano onto Krpano tools' MAKE PANO (FLAT) droplet. Default settings. It created about 5.5mb worth of image tiles. Easy!

You can see the iconic Diamond Head silhouetted in the shot. I couple of days prior the atmosphere was really clear so I shot a pano from the top of it. That one is with the Canon 15mm fisheye, 6 around and one up.
