Beautiful Sunrise in Portland

This morning, I made it downtown before the sun came up.  So I went across the bridge and got set up and took some pictures of downtown Portland as the sun was coming up.

This first pan was taken at Popup Link7:20am.  You can still see the lights on the Hawthorne bridge.  And the focus was fantastic.  13 shots at ISO100, f/10, 5 second exposures

This second pan was after the sun was more firmly in the sky.  See how the sky has turned?  Popup Link7:42am.   12 shots at ISO100, f/5, 1/15 second exposures.

After I left there, I went to work.  Looking out the window towards the sunrise, I could see fog nestled in among the trees and hills in the east.  It was stunning.  Popup Link8:19am.  18 shots at ISO 100, f/22, 1/15 second exposures.

All of the images were stitched together using Autostitch (http://www.autostitch.net/).  After stitching at 100% using linear blending, I loaded them into Photoshop, cropped them to where I wanted them, then applied an Auto Contrast.  Finally, a pass with CSpro (http://www.fredmiranda.com/).

Enjoy.  Or heck, maybe purchase?  :)
