Giants' stairway

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 30, 2010454 views16 comments

Hi everyone!
This is a section of the Arc river gorges in Haute Maurienne, French Alps. The Arc is often dry but when in springtime the snow on the Alps begins to melt, it becomes very scenic.
This is stitched from seven vertical frames.

Details: Eos 50D, Tokina ATX-Pro 12-24 f4, ND 4x, tripod 0,3" f16

Because of the pano look, the larger size is a must click...

Your C&C are as always highly appreciated, thanks in advance for your time.
Paolo

Great looking image Paolo. I especially like the close proximity of the rock in the LHC. Lots to look at across the entire frame. Very engaging photo. Larger is awesome.

Wonderful slashes of water motion Paolo.I find your shutter speed very effective for me. I am really liking the detail in the water and rocks too. Beautiful work!

You're a master at these stitches--this is just mind-blowing! Id bring up the shadows just a little bit, and call it perfect!

Looks like a very cool place. The larger photo gets even better.

(maybe late, but congrats on being in OP magazine)

Wonderful view, so much to look at, well processed too. I like the darker shadows here.

That's a great pano. Lovely color, nice forms in the rocks, and the comp flows beautifully from left to right.

Very nice, especially the larger version, I imagine a 4' version would be even more impressive.

You know I love shots like that and this one is very well executed. The shutter speed is right on and the panoramic distortion adds a nice touch of dynamic to the image.

This is one of the most beautiful scenes of a waterfall I've ever had the pleasure to view. Your capture just looks perfect in every way. Absolutely superb!
