I remember applauding EPZ's decision to have a panoramic gallery. I have been neglecting it of late and thought it best to put that right.

Taken one June Morning in the company of two of EPZ's Gentlemen, Chris Plumbe and John 'Mountain Goat' Giddings.

A stitch of ten 35mm focal length images.

Very nicely framed shot, Keith, and the distant light is beautiful.

But...am I the only one to spot this ??:-
The village, with it's very similar tonalities, looks a little, well, indistinct. More than I'd expect from a 1DsMkIII. It could be the result of a little too much sharpening after the resize; or, perhaps a little contrast enhancement could help to bring a bit more clarity to this area.
It's the only thing that, for me, mars an otherwise brilliant shot!

The similar tonalities in the village are the result of a village built almost exclusively from Purbeck Limestone and still yet to see the sunlight. Therefore the colours and tones are all pretty much the same throughout.

What this does allow for, is the capture of an amazing amount of detail, which results in a fascinating print, set aside the warm colours of the land around it.

One of my responsibilities, as I see them, is also to capture the countryside as it is, and the light as it happens and the effect it has.

cheers guys

Good point, Keith.
I can't wait to get home for a view on a better monitor than I have here at work.
I'm sure the print looks awesome. Just how big did you go with it??

The real size is roughly five feet wide although commercially a couple of feet will be enough for most people unless they live in Marlborough House.

Didn't realise you did landscapes Keith Wink

Never got around to photographing from this hill Keith - but it does work exponentially well.

You will have to go back when it starts getting misty

Wonderful Pano Keith, there are not enough on here, probably because they dont come alive until they are viewed large.

Beautiful shot. I love the contrst between the warm light falling on the castle and the much cooler tones of the village.

Superb, what more can I say!
