Hi,
I'm looking to develop an interiors HDR skill-set, and wondered if anyone can take a look at the below. To begin, I have a 25mm Leica lens while standard real estate lenses are c.17mm. I have temporarily run out of money, and besides like the 'stitiching up' as a stop-gap solution.
Please comment on this proposed workflow:
i) Compose an interiors shot (vertical lines of walls, etc., must be exact) and take a 7-bracketed shot
ii) Pan the camera slightly and take another 7-bracketed shot
iii) In LR merge > HDR the first set
iv) In LR merge > HDR the second set
v) Do corrections to the first resultant DNG file, duplicate & replicate to the second set
vi) Merge > panorama the two sets.
A few questions. One, when is the right time to do cc corrections, etc.? And if it's after the stitch, how would I be able to judge from the darkened DNGs if the stitch works? Three, how in LR can I copy a set of manipulations to the first set and transfer all the same to the second set? Four, assuming my potential panorama could be wide, nevertheless can I choose a stitching line along any vertical axis? Five, anything else that I should consider?
Thank you,
DC

UPDATE: I've just found the Merge > HDR Panorama function, which is amazeballs cool ! Doing some tests and sometimes the merge couldn't happen; I'm guessing this might be because of camera shake as I press the shutter release; so have done another test with self-timer (will buy a shutter release cable soon) and all seems fine. Will do some more tests. Anything anyone might want to add?
