Cohasset Harbor color panorama Feb 2007 Massachusetts Minot HDR tone mapped

Minot light in the background
A cold day for taking 45 separate exposures, but I did. Then tone mapped them in Photomatix, stitched them in Panorama Factory and cloned in more in CS2. Then converted to LAB, played with color curves, erased layers, sharpened the luminosity channel, shrank it a LOT for viewing and here it is.
Canon 5D, 70-200 Canon 2.8 L IS. ISO100 three exposure increments, -2, 0, +2 f 10 the whole time.

I'd do it different if I shot it again. Too much dead space in the lower left water area. Still, it kind of works.

LAB colorspace is real good for exaggerating colors like here. It was sunset too and the colors were quite striking, now even more so. Ok, MAYBE even a bit too much!
