In the spirit of that - I discovered that the Fairy Glen was in fine form (water wise) after months of abject dryness on my regular sunday ride-out.

Software for panoramics got good eh?

Used to kayak down there as a teenager, now I live a ten minute ride away (and it only takes that long because I have to wind my way 200 feet down the steep valley side)

Spent several hours swimming here today - Sweden is awesome !

While nice that picture does look a little odd in the background, the barn almost looks as if it was added in afterwards although it may be the enhanced by some sort of sunlight hitting that area.

 

[Yoni]

The light was odd which is why I took it - very little post processing as I am travelling so just converted from raw

Yeah looks like that area was caught in a god ray or something

 

[Yoni]

I took it as part of a three exposure stack from several points of view. On combination the area is still highlighted but more subtley - I also changed the temp / ambiance a little to reflect how it felt for me and this is a slightly different composition- so I am much happier with thisView attachment _DSC4191.png
