Description Taken from Fern Hill in Queenstown which is in the south island of New Zealand.

I took this last night after the storm had cleared... there was around 15cm of snow accumulated in around an hour. The clouds hung around for a while so I couldnt get any shots... until I noticed the clear skies before bed. I hopped in my car and drove up the road to one of my little spots to take this.

I thought it was a perfect opportunity to take my submission to the =PanoramaClub s competition Long Exposure Panoramas (my idea!)
Im happy to say that it won! No prizes just a feature with =PanoramaClub - Im just stoked on winning my first comp!

I also entered it into =MountainShots competition which I tied for first!

It is 8 photos over 2 levels, merged together using PTGui Pro.

each photo was a 30s exposure

Oh and by the way... its my 100th deviation!!

jesus!! that's one helluva view. Beautiful place you live, and just made even more beautifull by your nuts 2 level 8 shot!!!!!

It's come out amazingly... so much so I may even have to buy a print (if it goes big enough to do this justice!).

Killer work mate, couldn't have been beter for a 100th sub

mark-flammable In reply to crezo [2008-12-08 23:05:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot man! It would be really cool if you would buy one! It would be my first ever print sold!
The image will go up to 1.6m (roughly 60") wide... im sure that is big enough! I would suggest something like 1m wide - 40"
Im really glad you like it so much! Its made my day!!! Thanks for your support! Fingers crossed I win this comp too!

crezo In reply to mark-flammable [2008-12-09 12:47:05 +0000 UTC]

haha, no probs mate! I'll be buying after christmas has gone... and my bank might actually have some cash in again

Deffo going for biggest size on this, it just wouldn't do it justice otherwise. Seriously beautiful shot, if you don't win it's wrong

it was a tie for 1st! All good! It may be better for me to get the photo printed in NZ for you and ship it to you, for some reason dA is saying that 40" is the widest you can go and that the file is not big enough otherwise. Thanks again tho!
