My health had somewhat elevated today, so I decided to go out and shoot some night photos with my old 35 mm Super Carenar lens.

^{(Btw. I'm writing this as I'm trying to edit the photos. I took a slightly different photo and I need to stitch it in digiKam.)}

This is taking me some time since it looks like digiKam has been upgraded while I've not been using it, and it wanted to update everything. And I mean everything, it is looking through all the folders in my home directory instead of just ~/Pictures.
(Oh, and it Looks like the digiKam albums are all over the place. The joys of using two cataloging software.)

Oh well. I finally found the photos I had pre-edited in darktable, now onto stitching them into a vertical panorama.

^{(...some time passes...)}

Funny thing happened though... I ended up having to stitch the photos in Hugin instead of using digiKam as a front end to Hugin. Usually things like these work quite flawlessly in digiKam, but today it kind of decided to distort the picture to something I didn't want.

Stitched in Hugin only:

Quite pleased with this one.

Stitched in digiKam, using Hugin as backend:

Not so pleased with this one. ;)

Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Super Carenar MC 1:2.8 ƒ=35 mm
Aperture: ƒ/11
Exposure: 15 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200

Oh, "Why did I do a panorama instead of just one shot?" you ask. Well I only had the 35 mm lens with me, and I couldn't quite get far enough to fit the nearest tower into the picture, I decided I'll turn the camera upward a bit and get the rest of the tower into the photo as well. Sneaky, right? ;)

Okay, this was all I had time for tonight. Maybe something totally awesome in a later post, but now, before contracting a sequela I'll be going to bed. Thanks for sharing this photo journey with me! :)
