Description
I was in a very panoramic mood that day, so what else to do while waiting for the ferry than to take yet another panorama ?

Taken in Eidsdal with a view over Storfjorden and the ferry travelling between Eidsdal and Linge on the west coast of Norway.

It was extremely many people who wanted to cross the fjord that afternoon (long weekend and nice weather. What I do not understand is why they didn't start the summer routes (two ferries) that day, instead of the day after. They ought to have known that there would be loads of people).

There wasn't room for me in the first ferry (even though I came 20 minutes before it was supposed to leave), and it almost wasn't room for me in the second one either (only one other car was allowed on board after me ).

Post-processing
Adjusted the wb and reduced the contrast a tiny bit on all the pictures in camera raw.

Stitched the pictures together with automatic photomerge in Photoshop.

Turned up the contrast on the picture with some selective curves layers. One for the sky, where I darkened the darks and turned up the highlights on the clouds. One for the mountains where I lightened slightly and turned up the contrast. One for the water and foreground, where I turned up the highlights. Also lightened the whole picture slightly with a curves layer.

Used a black and white layer set to overlay (55%) to turn up the contrast some more and changed the colour tones of the picture by adjusting the different colour channels with yet another curves layer (turned the red and green channels a tiny bit up, and the blue channel a bit more than the others down).

Removed some dust spots with the healing tool and then straightened and cropped the picture slightly.
