Congratulations Christof Ruch! Valli di Tures e Aurina
Ok, this is actually an "old" image of mine I keep coming back to because I really like it, and I really screwed up while taking it. It is a perfect example of doing an ad-hoc unprepared pano forgetting to think:
While hiking up those beautiful southern tyrol mountains in Fall 2005 I noticed the clouds partly opening the view of the opposite range. Taking 3 quick pictures in (ouch) program mode of course hand-held (because I didn't carry a tripod up there), and exposing for the highlights by doing a -1 EV compensation, I ended up with three particularly ugly underexposed JPEGs. And luckily with three RAWs. :)
Coming back to them at times I like to try my PP skills to create something worthwhile. Today, I did import the three RAWs into CS3 correcting exposure saving the highlights, did a Photomerge, cropped, Auto-levelled, enhanced saturation of the yellows, and did a selective sharpening saving for web.
Technical info:
D70 with 18-70mm at 18
