When I set off from home there was thick mist, and so my hopes were high for some moody woodland photography. But by the time I got to the woods, only 10-15 minutes, it had all but gone. So I grabbed this 6 shot pano instead. And whilst woodlands might not seem the ideal place to do panoramas, there are often opportunities to be had.

Also, shooting with the M43 system with its 4:3 aspect ratio, means that you get a greater width on each shot when you place your camera in portrait orientation to do panoramas. Therefore you don’t need as many shots to cover the same distance as you do with 3:2 aspect ratio systems. 😀

A quick visit to Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, the other morning for a sunrise shoot.

An eight shot panorama of the pier and the rising sun. Although it looks as if the horizon is skew whiff, it’s actually the cloud on the horizon; honest 😜

I‘ve finally gotten round to doing another You Tube video, this time on using the Olympus Hi Res Mode for landscape photography; follow the link

if you’d like to check it out.

Shooting in RAW you can get an 80MP image when using Hi Res, but you can go one step further and shoot a panorama made up of individual hi res shots. In this example of the Humber Bridge (taken back in December), I shot six Hi Res Raw images and merged them together in Lightroom. The output was a humongous 242mp image which was over 24,000 pixels on its long edge. The downside is that it is 770 MB big 😵

Now I don’t have a regular need for such large images, but I was asked recently if I had a very large image of the Bridge to fill an office wall, so I thought I would see what I could get.

At 10 metres wide this is my biggest ever printed image.

My image of the Deep and Tidal Barrier in Hull, East Yorkshire, was taken as a series of 5 images and stitched together in Lightroom, to provide an image of over 18,000 pixels on the long edge. Many thanks to Enigma Graphics, Hessle, East Yorkshire (www.enigma-graphics.co.uk), who selected it to complete a commission for one of their local corporate clients, as a background for some wall art along the whole wall of a canteen.
