A touch of England (Glenmore)
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2005 12:21 amWell when I was out search for the mother of all birds, the Wedge Tail Eagle I decided to go to Glenmore which is where Embi sugested. My was I suprised at how much it reminded me of being in the UK, kind of like the Peak District but not as green. I think the area could do with a good dump of rain to turn all the grass green. Still quite dry out that region.
Anyway the shot was taken handheld and was cromprised of a total of about 18 shots but I only used 14 here as the right 4 were just of a tree. Who needs a Gitzo, Markins M-20 head and RSS Sliding Rails
Btw, later on I'll do another version merging with two exposures one for the clouds and one for the ground. I measured the exposure for the middle hills and set it all up using matrix metering but I guess the camera got slightly fooled. Either that or the sun was more covered when I metered.
Total image size 15000x3000.
