I have previously submitted a panorama from this night (i shot as many as i could with such fantastic light) but i chose the wrong set of images.
This was the first set while there was still the slightest amount of light on the foreground providing superb contrast.
So here is the re-edit, as an English landscape photographer the weather provides plenty of opportunity to go over old files.
Shot in April 2008 looking across to what i feel is an archetypal dartmoor panorama, high tor topped hills and rugged countryside.
The tor on the left is the moor's climbing frame haytor, everybody comes to clamber over it in some way as its so accessible and is a fantastic vantage point looking off the moor towards the coast. On the far right is hound tor inspiration for doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles, rippon Tor is in the middle.
11 vertical shots edited in LR3 stitched in PTGui tweeked in PS.

I went to bed at around 10.30 got up at 1am to shoot the stars and didnt get back to sleep again until gone 2.30. Then it was time for my 4am alarm and the final ascent of Stac Pollaidh.

One thing I can do is motivate myself to get up when I know there is a good photo up for grabs and this may well be the most spectacular scene I have ever seen. Although I am very confident with my technique I checked my settings more than twice to make sure everything was perfect. The final image is 34mp composed of 4 horizontal frames with massive overlaps (to protect against sun flare issues) In all it took me about 2hrs30 minutes to stitch the images (I had to set up the points myself) and remove all the flares) and a further 30 minutes to correct the image. As such this is my most time consuming process ever but the reults stand up to scrutiny hopefully!

Just one of the most enchanting points on any river that runs off dartmoor, a life time is not enough to shoot every nuance of these rivers through out the seasons.....
This opportunity lasted minutes from the point i arrived at the base of this tributary that meets the river dart....this is one of the first shots i took conscious that the low sun would not last long...

This was shot almost a year ago on my travels round Wales.
This looks down past a group of walkers to the lake at the foot of snowdon. it was a last minute decision to hike up, i almost spent the night but walking up the next morning to horrendous weather i was glad i didnt!!

....of your physical potential.

Getting here almost killed me but respect and thanks to Mr. Nail I made it up and down the country and this mountain.

Rise over Suilven, showing the beginning of the path back down.
