The most difficult landscape I have ever attempted.

To start, I had to lay nearly face down in the dirt to get low enough for this shot. I had to spend about 30 minutes there as I took all of my shots. In post processing, I have already dumped over 10 hours into putting it together, and I still have another 10+ hours to finish all of the details. Being 12,000 pixels wide, makes for an insane amount of hand work to get it perfect down to the pixel level.

So, in the end, I will have spent over 20 hours on a single photo. Hopefully it will be worth it when printed over 80 inches wide.

This is why landscapers need a FF camera with a flipout screen like my previous 60D. More time spent taking shots and less time fiddling with body position and pain.

beautifully framed shot

As my wife would say tongue in cheek: "Yeah your life is hard...."
Awesome photo!

I'd say it was worth the effort

Wow! Just...WOW!

SWEET!

Is this a composite image?

Regardless, it is a work of art, I would say definitely worth it!

Really beautifull landscape, excellent image.

Fantastic!

Another amazing shot.

Nicely done.

Which peak is that in the background?

Worth the effort.

your pain paid off. This is stunning beyond words.

@el duderino that is Mt. Rainier in Washington

Thanks for looking and commenting, folks.

That is not Mt Rainier in the BG. It is Mt Adams. Photo taken from Mt Rainier.
They look very similar from a distance, though.

thanks for the correction. I should know better
