I like new Photomatix much more - it lets to create natural looking images without halos: http://vr.1drey.com/travels/5am.html

Looks very nice.....

Can you tell a bit about the circumstances of the shot(s) ?

[1drey]

well... it was 5a.m. pure luck that I didn't fell asleep

each shot was bracketed +/-1,7 step, the pano was assembled from the images processed with Photomatix - generate HDR -> optimize HDR with Smooth adaptation (new algorithm).

360precision, naturally

Yes Photomatix is a very powerful tool !!!

Now here are two Photomatix HDR-Pano's as well:

Hi Bernd..

this one:

Has some moving people, did you just process the same raw images with different exposures???

That's the way
I think it is much easier to shoot one shot in raw and make a little
workaround as three real singelshoots with different exposures.

Well if you talk about RAW- prcession:

it thee really a difference between a RAW- created PANO (not image itself)
then ?
A pano does not have the depth of pixel and color that a dri has.
I worked with SHO (and still do ) which gives a very fast workflow.
I´ve seen a lot of DRIs that are "over DRI´d" - a nice shot but far away from a natural looking picture though.

Sometimes I cut a window (or the critical part) from an underexposed shot an put it into the right image.

Just here:

The grey parts aside the windows are not from the cut - it´s in the wall.
