How did you spend last few days? I must say it wasn’t a joke but it was beautiful. To get this frame I shot 3 separate frames in a vertical pano using the long lens. I was tilting the lens down slowly making sure that camera doesn’t move left and right. Since my focus was changing for each frame, the depth of field was changing too and the best option to blend the pano was to do it manually. What do you think?
Are you out of the vortex? I’m still getting around editing images from those few days. During those cold nights the colors looked the best after the sunset. This is one of those moments captured from the far south of the city. What do you think?

This morning came as a surprise? I was really going back and forth all day yesterday., whether I should go out or not for a sunrise. It was quite nice experience for sure. I also got to meet some new friends along the way. My choice for today was a long exposure shot so I can isolate the subject much better and use the cloud movement as a leading line. What do you think?
Do you shoot panos? In situations like this one where the distance between background and foreground is far too broad, shooting a vertical pano is the easiest way to get everything in the frame. It is also the easiest way to get everything in focus because depth of field is changing drastically. To make everything come to life I manually blended this 80mpx pano. What do you think?
