Views from the church hill.

The church hill – actually I have no idea of its real name, if any exists, – is an excellent spot for the panoramic photography. The first series was taken a year ago.

Settings:

1. Aperture f11, shutter speed 1/2s. CPL+gradient grey filters.

2. Aperture f9, shutter speed 1/2s, CPL+gradient blue filters.

3. Same as in the 1^st.

6 minutes passed between the 1st and 3rd. 

4. Same as in the 1^st. That’s a recent image. Back-stitched from RGB in a desperate and unsuccessful attempt to get rid of noise. It’s incorrigible.  

As for the gradient blue version, in my opinion, in weather conditions like those and at this time this filter’s usage would be of no avail. Moreover, shots like those are hard to further process in the Corel and similar software.

5. Aperture f9, shutter speed 0,77s, CPL + something else, rather of all, gradient grey. The position was below, where the road crosses a stream, the tributary of the lake you see here. It belongs to the older series.
