And my first HDR image, alignment done with Hugin from 4 initial images taken with a Canon PowerShot G9 on a dinky little wannabe tripod (whence some of my earlier rotation problems), tone mapping done with qtpfsgui, the Reinhard05 algorithm. Obviously there's a lot more tweaking that could be done, but this looks pretty real, and I think captures detail all the way through the dynamic range (modulo your monitor's gamma).

I used Hugin to do alignment between the images, because there was some camera movement (that rotation of "4 pixels over 4k pixels" comment), and I believe I lost some dynamic range in there, so I still need to dig for a better solution. Or use a bigger tripod. But, yeah, "no wind" is pretty critical.
I was going to try to get downtown last night around twilight, but I was playing with other things. I think there'll be more of this...

Neat! The full jpeg doesn't show any movement. The tripod seems to be more than adequate to the job, and even the wind must have been still. I gotta try this.

You should drop Scott Haefner a line. He's been playing with panos for several years. He's MacPerson, so his choice of tools is a little focused in that direction.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
