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.. !

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?

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

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