Sky Stitch

This is a quick one that I had to jump out of the car on the way home to get. (Luckily I happened to have my s45 and the car charger in the car at the time)

3 shots taken handheld and stitched with the canon software. The view is of the Blue Mountains, taken from a hilltop in Carlingford. (NSW Australia)

I'm shocked that nobody else has posted here yet. You've taken very nice photo James! The blues and oranges are very bright, and with a little help from Photoshop, you can turn this good photo into a magnificent one. Try using some color/linear dodge on the foreground where the rays of light shine through the clouds. I saw this done in a photoshop magazine, and it worked wonders. Although the image in the mag was very different from yours, you could try playing with it just to see if it improves the image. Either way autolevels will do it some good. Best of luck, and again... wonderful photo!

Great Photo... I really like the colors. You also caught the sun beams coming through the clouds nicely.

Maybe you should have got a little more ground in the photo. Remember the rule of thirds. The horizon line is a little too low for my tastes.
