I'm aware the sky is blown out. What can I do to fix it? I was trying to keep the same exposure settings because i did this like a panorama. What other suggestions do u have? Thanks!!

don't think u can do too much about it cuz it looks like the tree is exposed fine... can try at a dif time of day mebbe the light will be different?

or can try to expose for the sky then use a flash on the tree if it reaches it....

HDR can fix the blown out sky, but you're going to have to invest in an HDR program.

hdr prob not worth it for this photo... esp since its a panorama u'd have to take like 3+ sets of all the pictures heh

HDR can fix the blown out sky, but you're going to have to invest in an HDR program.

So could shooting at a different time of day, a CP filter, or a flash, all of which look indefinitely better than a crappy HDR photo.

I personally don't mind the blown out sky too much. I think the picture is neat in it's own way. The tree is exposed perfectly. It might even look cool in B/W. And I also agree that trying to fix the sky by turning it into an HDR is a waste of time. If you want the sky to not be blown out like that, then I also agree to shoot it at a different time of day. Sunrise or Sunset could be really cool if the colors are interesting....just a thought.

How do you get panoramic views like that? Is there a lens or a certain angle you need to be at? I love it.

photo stitch or crop.

thanks for the replies guys! I just used photoshop to stitch them together. The auto feature makes it real easy. I didn't have to do much of anything.
