some of you know a bit about my midterm museum's assignement.
I'm looking for a advise for improving a shot, or better a stitch in PP:
The stitch is about 100 x 95 degs, taken out of the side - the windows would have created reflections - of the gondola of a big ferry wheel, from 60 meters of height:
Yes, I have been shooting the courtyard at the right of the white buildings.
The position of the cam is ok, as the're aren't many other options, and while stitching 8 images together, I could get that required VFOV to show the courtyard and the surrounding buildings, which are the object of that photo. All shots were made freehand - it stitches together well, though.
But I dislike the importance of the shadows at the left bottom; meanwhile some other hours of the day, with different sun angles, weren't possible. I was glad already to get some minutes on the gondola for myself.
While I have some bracket series, I can' t use them, as they probably wouldn't fit together, due to the slight movements of the gondola in the wind/slightly other cam's position.
So finally, here's my question:
How can I improve these shadows - the exposure of the shown example is perfect for the highlights - it's been even slightly overexposed. I gave shadows/highlight - from the same tiffs, after developing in the RC - a try, but it's only increasing noise.
