    Default Castleburn Lake (Vertorama)

    I am still (slowly) working through some images taken in February in the southern Drakensberg region of South Africa. This is a view of the Castleburn lake one morning as the clouds really started to shape up. I used a circular polariser here to get some nice punch in the sky.

    I captured and processed this as a "Vertorama" - two landscape oriented shots stacked on top of each other to form a more vertical/portrait orientation. Full resolution is about 7146x6599 pixels making a whopping 47.1 megapixel frame.

    Hi Morkel

    Love that sky, but I think I would prune about an inch of the bottom of this as the lake in the immediate foreground as it does not have enough appeal for me for inclusion. The reflection is too broken up.. Now if you had set up a tripod and extended your exposure out to a couple of seconds (using a 10 stop ND) then that might be a lot different...

    Thanks Don.
    I was contemplating a crop from the bottom but decided against it.
    It would help if I owned a 10-stop ND...time to get one I suppose

    Morkel - I love this. A very tranquil scene and I disagree with Don on this one, I think the reflection works and adds to the scene.

    TFS,
