Sunset in Valtournenche

Hello everyone,

seems like the weather in Italy, after almost a month of rain and cold,

has finally decided to turn to good. Well, even a bit too good, for my

taste, as I hate hot temperatures, and today we had 35°C (95°F).

However, good weather makes hiking in the Alps easier. Here's a

picture from my yesterday's wandering in Valtournenche, one of the

many valleys of the Valle d'Aosta region. This valley is dominated at the

top by the majestic peak of the Cervino, better known outside Italy as

Matterhorn, from its Swiss name. Taken some minutes before sunset,

it's a stitch of four horizontal frames.

 

Your C&C are welcome as always, thanks for your time.

I think here in Sicily is about 6 months I can't see a real rainy day...!

And damn, here it's hot...

 

I find your landscape a great shot, I love colourful and saturated pictures like yours...great composition and wonderful light

Cool technique - using a multi shot stitch like this can give almost a view camera depth of field. I take it you let the camera focus on the flowers for the lowest, and the mountain (infinity) for the highest? I'd just like to see a larger version to see the details.

Great saturation of colors and good composition, all the elements are well placed..even the clouds outline the peak. A very, very nice photo.....good job.

superb shot Paolo, i'd also like to see this as a large print. Wonderful colours and exposure.

An excellent use of your equipment. I agree that a print would also be fine.

Gotta love the Alps! Nicely composed, carefully stitched, and stunning scenery. What more can we ask for. Well done.

Another masterpiece! Wow! You are really becoming the expert with stitching these amazing photos together. I agree with David S., the image has the feel and depth-of-field of a LF camera; it is tack-sharp in all areas. Wonderful work, Paolo. Keep it up! Ciao! Chris

... am in awe of your ability to stick as beautifully as you do. Can personally never seem to get it quite right like you do. The shot overall is so well conceived with great attention to color and composition. Beautiful job.

Preciosos colores y gran detalle.

Bellissima, praticamente perfetta.....complimenti!! Ciao

Beautiful shot Paolo.. Excellent composition and it is technically great as well! 7/7

Technically perfect,from the exposure,colours and sharpness.Great composition too.

There is allot of depth in this one. The clouds in the background and the flowers in the foreground give this image  a 3Dimensional aspect.  Fantastic work !
