Thank you. Stitching images to form panoramas gives a nice effect I think.

Location
Near Aroa Beach, Rarotonga.Time
Sunset.Lighting
The sun had dropped below the horizon, giving a lovely warm glow. This required a high ISO as I was hand holding the camera.Equipment
A Nikon D7000. For this shot the zoom setting was 27mm, ISO 800, F3.5 and shutter 1/40 sec.Inspiration
It seemed to sum up the tropical island paradise scenario.Editing
This is a stitch of two shots. Adjustments in Camera RAW to bring out detail in light and shadow, then some further minor polishing in PhotoShop.In my camera bag
I love the mountains, so as little as possible - at present a Nikon D750 camera body, a Nikkor 24-120 small zoom and the 55-300 bigger zoom, a spare battery and beaten up lightweight tripod - good for hiking. If I'm going for a summit then it's even less - a compact Lumix TZ220 with mirrorless through the lens digital view finder, full manual operation and RAW file capture - absolutely great when you still want to control your photography but need to keep moving and can't afford to have stuff hanging off you.Feedback
Remember to take your camera when heading to the cocktail bar at sunset.
