This is private land for rich people only. Sadly I am not rich.

You must view this larger to get the full effect. Being a panorama

the original image is 3x8mp's stuck together so too big for photo.net

@ 7megs but the larger version here is 1280 wide so you'll get the

idea..

I wanted the sky darker and did not want to mess with PS so used a

hoya polariser.

TOP TIP if you want to do panoramas - Don't use a polariser, as like

with wide angles lenses, they only work at 90 degrees to the light

source so for a side on sun shot like this the sky is burnt out to

the right and dark o nthe left. I could change this in PS but that

would be missing the point. I screwed up but its still a nice shot.

What do you think?

Taken with 18mm lens at F13 with a rather odd, you may think, 1/13th

sec due to the polariser cuttign the light. The F13 gives a wide DOF

and with the polariser the speed was so slow a sturdy tripod was

required. Metering was done on the dark central tree / bush area.

The lake is private land but I did not trespass to get the shot. Its

taken fro mthe road. I wish i were rich enough to own land like this.

You're right, it does look better veiwed larger. I can see a very nice transition from the cooler months of the year on the left hand side to a warmer change in the seasons on the right side, weather this was your intention ( excuse the pun ) I don't know, but thats what I see. A very nice balanced and visually pleasing image.
