nice shot :thumbsup:

just take 3 shots and combine in PS, meter off the same place for more consistent lighting (can use AE lock also) had a tripod so it's much easier. 2 shots would have sufficed originally but to correct the distortion of the house and the elements along the horizon a shot 'in the middle' had to be taken. this earlier shot was done stitching 2 shots, no element in the middle that 'needs' distortion correction so only 2 shots is required.

Very very nice shot. Splendid. Don't mind me asking, Are the ripples on the puddles of water caused by wind?

thanks Francis, yes the wind contributed, but the water isn't exactly stagnant as it's draining off slowly somewhere further away.

i see, but how about the ripples on the water ? will there be a continuity problem ?

continuity problem? i think you mean when merging the pictures? that's where one needs to develop one's own technique

are the shots taken in vertical or horizontal ? I never tried merging pictures before, so very curious. ;p
