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!!

Great great work my friend. Fantastic work making this panorama, and it looks absolutely seamless. Epic stuff. Looks like a great place to be. I have nothing further to add...

Amazing details and sharpness.. I'd clone out the boat, a bit distracting. Awesome shot.. !

ccdoh1 In reply to ??? [2008-08-15 05:28:24 +0000 UTC]

would have been nice and chilly i bet! looks rad with the lights but i reckon to improve straighten the rightmost mountain so its based is horizontal. does PTgui offer the tools to do that?

mark-flammable In reply to ccdoh1 [2008-08-15 05:35:49 +0000 UTC]

I experimented with that but it makes the mountains on the left look really weird! It def was nice and chilly!

ccdoh1 In reply to mark-flammable [2008-08-15 05:54:41 +0000 UTC]

then see if you can map those mountains to horizontals as well - it's a bit of a balancing act i know!
