I decided to go and check out one of my favourite little spots, a small cattle corral south of Ottawa where I live. The winds were blowing pretty strongly creating a wind chill of -30. The snow storm was just coming to an end and with the winds over the past 36 hours combined with light fluffy fresh snow I found what I was looking for, some nice lines in the fresh snow. This is a two row, nine column panoramic image. After stitching the resulting sixty images together, this is now a whopping 165MP image.
This scene is a very high resolution multi-column and multi-row panoramic image made up from a total of 90 images. The high clouds were moving quickly. Within about 5 minutes, the sun was hidden behind the clouds enough that the effect on the cattails was gone. In the end I'm very happy I managed to capture a couple of great shots in one morning. Lately I have been going out and not even taking the camera out of the bag. This morning was a treat!
It's so nice to be able to sleep in (relatively speaking), and still have more than enough time to get out to capture blue hour before sunrise, and we fully prepared for the golden hour when it arrives. The ice was nice and thick this morning when I went for a hike out in Mer Bleue. I set the tripod down a little bit lower to be able to soften the bright morning sun, with the bullrushes.
