Location
This photo was taken in Wolf River Beach, just north of the Green Bay Street Bridge in Shawano, Wisconsin.Time
This is one of three series of images I took as the sun went down on May 4, 2013.Lighting
Not really. Being a sunset, lighting is obviously "direct sunlight."Equipment
I shot this hand-held with my Nikon D60; I think I had my Nikkor E-series 70-210 lens on.Inspiration
I didn't feel like going directly home after work, so I wandered towards the river.Editing
This is a seven-frame panorama I stitched with Hugin. I did some minor level adjustment in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE.In my camera bag
At that time, I'd toss my D60 in my purse with whatever lens it happened to have on. If I'm on a planned photoshoot, I go out with my Fugi FinePix Z70 (some shots are just easier to get with a pocket camera), my Nikon D60, the 28-70 mm Sigma, one of my 70-210 mm zooms, maybe my 2x Vivitar teleconverter, maybe my Elicar 90 mm macro, maybe a flash, maybe a light tripod. It depends on what I'm going off to shoot.Feedback
The fewer clear horizontal and vertical elements in your scene, the more you have to overlap to give the stitching program reference points. Long, same-looking linear elements make it hard for the program to figure out how much overlap there is from one frame to the next. I shot a kitchen once (over 20 frames) and, though I knew where the frames went, I couldn't define enough control points for Hugin to get them all stitched together.
