Wow - did you blend that sky on the right in? I don't mind at all, but it looks really surreal. Great photo!

Amazing shot! How do you put together different shots for a final panoramic image? All-in-all well done.
IvanPedrettiPhoto
IvanPedrettiPhoto September 07, 2015
you have to use panoramic software, as photomerge or autopano

Fantastic! So much happening within this composition, yet it all work so well together. I particular like the building and how it adds scale, and the plain/valley leading you towards the mood set. I guess this must have been close to an 200 degree panormic? I would love to visit this location : )

Behind The Lens

Location

At the Tre cime di Lavaredo, The Three Peaks of Lavaredo (Italy), called also Drei Zinnen, in the Dolomites mountains.

Time

It was on 24th July 2015 about midnight at the moonset.

Lighting

I didn't used any light, the foreground was lightened by the MOONSET so I could use 1600iso for the foreground.

Equipment

Sony a7II with samyang 14 2.8, on tripod. Foreground shooted at 1600iso f4 30", the sky at 3200 30" f2.8. 12 shots for the panoramic.

Inspiration

I always wished to be able to take a night panoramic in the Dolomites, these beautiful mountains of Italy, so I was lucky to have the right weather that night.

Editing

I stitched the shots with a panoramic software, then I post processed with photoshop to process the milky way and the details of foreground.

In my camera bag

Feedback

Choose a good point for the composition, and take many shots, a lot, all of them at the same exposure. It's important the overlap you choose for every shot, usually from 40 to 70%.
