So, I'm back from my holiday and though I have many many photos to work through, I wanted to get my panorama done first. Last time I spoke about taking photos that's different from what they human eye would see and though a panorama is probably closer to what you would see if you were up at the viewing point where this was taken from, I still think it qualifies. Unfortunately I can't make this image much larger in the blog because it won't fit, but I'm sure you get the idea :-)
Chapman's peak is a mountain on the southern coast of South Africa. Its got a pass all around it on the sea side, which means its got some of the most incredible views of that part of the country, especially as the sun sets over the sea. The main viewing point a little way off the road itself is great for taking photos, but also just to sit and enjoy the beautiful light show. Off to the side is the town and bay of Houtbaai of which these photos was taken.
I used a program called Hugin for the stitching. It worked quite nicely once I figured out how to turn its auto exposure compensation off. The leftmost part is exposure fused to ensure some detail of the sea, mountains as well as the sky shows, but that means the exif data on exposure is incorrect.
I'll try and put another post on sometime this week, before the nice relaxed feeling of having had a holiday completely wears off.
