Panorama again

Recently I remembered that panoramas can be also interesting, especially when you are in mountains and see horizon. Clarity is much better than in plains. Tripod me and the view. I’m not really a great fan of panoramas but sometimes they can capture climate of the moment.

Naturally first frame is my hand, to inform that is start of panorama (it helps), then start with or without tripod (without tripod you get more moved frames, so need shoot more) and start shooting. NO filters they only can spoil panorama, and always RAW.  Finally in home I using Hugin to stitch it – very good and free software.

Szrenica – view on Poland

Szrenia – view on Czech Republic

somewhere around Łabski Szczyt or Violík view on Czech Republic

Śnieżne Kotły (1,490 m (4888 ft), or Sněžné jámy

Mountains – winter, fresh air and 5:30 am

We (3 people – my friend and his friend from work) get up normally like 10am – straight on the road. When we parked and came into – place where ski-chair-lifts starts. We bought ticket to the top and go to the long line, with like only skiers. OK – and we go. In mid station staff said that they closed second part of the lift so we can’t go any further. We thought for a while – then someone from staff came and send us back down and to another lift – express (with no line :) ). Faster newer and bigger. At the end of ride it turned out that we have 300m up in very short distance. First on slope, then no that small path that we couldn’t see because of strong wind with snow, that cover everything. It fells like small needle pierce into your face. I wore glasses so it’s also harder because of it. After that hard part, we came into the shelter and rest for a moment. My friends went for lunch, and I for some shots around shelter (Szrenica). It was getting dark quickly, so it was that for one day – also cold and windy – brrrr…

Next morning we woke up early at 5-5:30 in the morning, just before sunrise. Packed up and go for a morning walk, to greet the day on top of Śnieżne Kotły (1490m). Great weather, so warm, I couldn’t believe it. Partly clouded and that almost pink sun (pink-orange and blue). Like a dream :) Batteries charged.

Awesome trip – wish for more.
