The snowdon range from the lower slopes of Moel Siabod.

Been trying to get one of these done for ages. Subject was in more cloud than I had hoped on the day so lighting was a bit messed up.

Lovely Sie, and especially when the big one is there to be appreciated. Your stitching is pretty much flawless to apart from a very minor shadow in the sky to the left of the shot above the lovely looking mist in the valley.

It is a great shot with the mist making it much more dramatic, I've failed in most of my attempts could you give me an idea on the number of photos used and setting for each one.

On my monitor I can see a line all the way from the bottom to the top starting in the middle of the mist in the valley where it's out quite a bit, the left hand side needs shifting up a bit.

Also is that the car park for the miners on the right?

Rudgej: Thanks for the comments. I see what you mean about that shadow. I should have examined more closely. I kind of knocked this up pretty quickly as far as the stich was concerned.

MAH: I used photoshop's photomerge and it was a composition of 5 landscape shots with lots of overlapping. My first ones went horribly wrong. The trick is that if your using RAW files that each RAW file must be process exactly the same. Find the shot which has the most average exposure of them all and adjust the raw settings to that. Write down each setting and make sure each file is processed with those settings. Also when taking the shots remember that not only does your camera have to be level but your tripod too (first mistake I made).

I will probably return and redo this one being a bit more maticulas :)

Yep thats the Pen-Y-pass car park. The start of many an adverture in my past mountain walks :)

I was going to say "quite a climb!" then I saw the road....

It's a lovely pano and nicely stitched apart from what's already been pointed out. Have it printed and framed - they make a good talking point when you have visitors! ;)
