A wide (4-shot) panorama looking down at one of the nicer parts of Malibu Creek State Park from a hill. This is one of the few panoramas I've made that actually makes me feel like it captured the feeling of a place successfully. The visible-light version of this one is exactly how I remember Malibu Creek. Like the previous shot, I've included two experimental processed images. The first uses a negative of the RGB version as the colour over the UVA version as luminance. It's not very useful in terms of conveying information, but I liked that it looked like an alien landscape straight out of a Sega Genesis game circa 1990. The "max difference" version is a bit more complicated. I took all five colour channels and generated a greyscale image that represented the greatest variation from the average of the five. This was then overlaid on the RGB version to create a synthetic high-contrast image. My idea here was to do a proof-of-concept for a (realtime) system that would create high-contrast imagery that would still be more or less the colours expected by a normal person. I think the result is interesting, and contrast is certainly improved in some areas, but suffers in others.
