The Thrill of Overkill ... or: should I not learn in S M A L L steps????

[Matt K.]

Yeah I know, not so happy with the colours myself .. trying to get the range balanced out when you look at a almost 270° panorama with all sorts of different light on it is tricky. Then the way I did it was most likely not the smartest one, either. I guess I should have panned the four vertical shots first before moving to the next horizontal increment. This way the I would have followed the path of the sun .. I dunno

Wow ... way to over-think it Matt! Just clone out the HDR ghosting on that mountain and use the colour balance feature in PS to get the cast right. If you want ... also use the shadows/highlights tool (under adjustments) and open the shadows a touch to even the light.
