This is a photo of the actual peak from fairly close up.
D3 Nikkor, 70-300 f4.5-5.6 @ 300mm, 1/1000sec at f6.3, ISO400
I have taken countless sets of 360ยบ panorama images, I made well over 500 exposures today. I spent over three hours to the top of Stickle Pike and Stickle Tarn which is just below the summit, to the right as you see it in the above image.
I'm too tired to tackle the Pano sets now but I have processed some of the pix I made on the way home. The light wasn't perfect, it was fading fast. I spotted some of these yesterday but it was raining hard and the light was non existent.
Here are some of them, all taken in the Duddon valley, Dunnerdale.
D3, 24-120mm f4 @ 44mm, 1/125sec at f7.1 ISO 250
This is a departure from my usual process, the lighting was difficult. I used the HDR feature of Lightroom, I took several sets of 5 exposures, varying the exposure compensation and the steps.
This is the result of one of the sets. The trees stood out despite the failing light, the problem was trying to lift the dark shaded areas of the image without making the brighter areas too bright.
D3, 24-120mm f4 @ 52mm, nominally: 1/200sec at f7.1 ISO 250
The other was a bit more of a challenge but I got this.
D3, 24-120mm f4 @ 78mm, nominally: 1/125sec at f6.3 ISO 500
Now for the Pano's...
