Panorama of a 1750 palace

[unni]

This is my first try on a panorama. The AP software is doing a wonderful job. One image is just after the stitching of 5 RAW images without any corrections. The other one is processed. I have used the warp tool to correct the distortion . After warp, went back to develop persona for lens distortion option for further correction. Then  inpainting to remove the central drum and house on the right side. Unsharp mask for sharpening and luminosity mask used for curves adjustment of some dark areas of the palace. Camera is Nikon D3100, 1/100 sec, f8, ISO 100, hand held, kit lens 18-55.

The palace is built sometime in 1750 and name Krishnapuram Palace, Ochira, Kerala, India. The pond extends into the middle of the palace from the underground. Wiki gives more details.

The image below is processed.

Panoramas are stitched very nicely in Affinity photo. Here is another one which was made from 7 images. Pictures were taken in portrait mode
50mm 1.8D prime at f2.8, 1/400sec, ISO 100 with a nikon d7000. Handheld. Clarity and sharpening filter is used with inverted mask and painted
with white brush to reveal only the letters , window and the front grill like structure of the building. The stitched size is 11000W X 5000H. Inpainting brush
used around the borders to fill the transparent pixels. No warping or such transformation touchups done. Two layers of B&W was used. One layer
was kept without adjusting sliders. In other layer, color sliders were adjusted and black brush used to mask out the effect in some areas.
So color was bleeding in those brushed areas. To make it B&W again, the 2nd layer is used. Slight border trimming and straightening applied.
