Skiddaw Panorama (11MP long edge, 60MP file)

A revisit of the XF90 multi-stitch pano of the other day with improved workflow...

 

"Quite a large file! This is a stitched panorama, just to show that the XF90 can in fact truly do wide angle landscapes! Yes it's a do everything lens (macro test pending).

 

I don't really do "classic wide vistas" with my camera - I've been in the mountains too many years and seen too many stunning corners of the UK / world mountains to consider capturing the entirety of a view in an image...that said...if I can use the XF90 for that purpose then the detail it will capture will be sublime.

 

The light on Saturday evening was sublime. I actually missed the best clouds (playing cricket with Lewis!) but was happy with capturing these. This was the view from the campervan at Castlerigg Hall campsite - a gem of a site.

 

I stitched the photo using Affinity Photo - a very cost effective and powerful alternative to the Adobe machine.

 

I've not really mastered the workflow yet so there's a few things I'll improve on with #2, so please ignore any blown highlights etc etc.

 

I hope this image captures some of the beauty of the scene I witnessed."
