Description Taken this evening on one of the back roads from Pirongia to Te Awamutu, in the Waikato, North Island, New Zealand. This is looking towards the Pirongia Range on the left of the scene.


I bracketed two shots taking 3 exposures for each one, using tripod, cable release, and then combined in Photomatrix Pro 4, joined the two combined shots in Auto Giga Pano then made slight adjustments in Adobe Photoshop CS5.

This is one of my personal favourites to date, I hope you enjoy it too.

Thank you so much for viewing this work.
