First of all “sorry for this experiment”. The originals (tree on the upper right corner) are 3 different slide-chromes captured on Apr. 1986 (morning about 10,00 a.m). Camera is Pentax ME-Super on tripod. Lens is Pentax 135mm f 3.5 and 2x converter (total focal length is 270 mm). Film is Fujichrome 50 ASA. Fixed F: 16(Hyperfocal to manage a deep DOF from foreground to background). Shutter speed: 1/30-1/60-1/125 (Bracketing ). Manual exposure. Shutter release cable and mirror blocked up to avoid vibrations. In these 20 years I have never been satisfied of these photos. So I have used an Epson Perfection 3200 scanner to get 3 digital files from those 3 slides. Then I’ve used Photomatix and Photoshop 7. The FUSED-file I got (HDR) using Photomatix (blending) have been used in the right and reverse position so to match left and right sides of these “two”different pics. So doing I obtained a yellow triangle. In my humble opinion it was impossible to get this result using analogic devices and this geometry was in my mind till the moment I looked at this landscape more than 20 years ago. Place is Vaiano di Castiglione del Lago (Perugia).
