Well interesting I went back and checked, and all the shots in this composite were shot in A mode @ F8 with a range of shutter speeds, and -0.7 EV, usually I make it a habit of shooting my panos in manual mode.

On this version I did so some sharpening, I probably over did it, the full size one is good, but when resizing it seemed to lose a lot of the effect.

Craig - I really like the shot, and the seamless stitching you did !!!! It is a nice change from 'normal' horizontal panos ...... I'd love to see some more shots of this beautiful spot please :)

Nice job

I have been thinking about doing a vertical pano for a while and have figured out how to make my pano head work this way, but just have not found the subject yet.

Keep up the inspirational panos !

Cheers

Terrific technical stitching job Craig. Colours are great and perspective unusual.

the shearness of the cliff is dramatically presented in the pano stitch. I would just increase the colours a tad and more on the contrast to make it outstanding.

Terrific work on the pano, good job and also good choice of subject... Nicely framed too... Like the way it draws the eye through the detail in the cliff face... I reckon that needs printing...
