This panoramic image of Llandudno Bay is stitched together from nine overlapping exposures, using the almost magical qualities of the Photomerge function in Adobe CS5.
It was a fantastic evening, with the full moon rising just off the end of the Little Orme as the sun set and twilight crept across the sky.
I'd been planning on producing a panoramic sweep of Llandudno Bay from this vantage point on the Great Orme for some time, and this was definately the night to be there.
To give myself the best chance of producing a decent final image I took my time setting up the camera, following a routine that I've developed over time when shooting panoramas.
All that learning paid off on this occasion, and I was really pleased with the final image.
I'm afraid this heavily donwsized version just doesn't have the impact of the full sized file, with its incredible level of detail, but I'm still very happy with it.
