Wow this is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. One question on your settings here, why did you decide to shoot at F18 and F13? My assumption was that after a specific aperture (like around F8) you start losing sharpness but is that not the case or do I need to do some more research? Just curious if you have any insight

Yah typically a lens’ sharpest focal point will be in the mid range. Lens’ generally loose sharpness if you open up the aperture to its max as well eg: F/2.8 is not as sharp as F/8. Every lens is a bit different though. The nikkor 14-24 lens I used here is pretty damn sharp from F/5 to F/18. I shot the foreground at F/18 bc I wanted to make sure everything was in focus. I was closer to the foreground than it appears bc it’s a large pano. I could have stopped down a bit more for the sky but the difference between F/8 and F/13 is negligible and I’m not worried about sharpness in the sky. I could also possibly use the sky for parts of the foreground if I get some movement due to wind.

Beautiful shot. I would only recommend toning down the sharpening because it looks very grainy/odd in some places tho.

What do you mean by “Sky: 1/200, ISO:100, F13”? Did you shoot the sky on its own and combined it with the overall image?
Br81 OP t1_j6gq249 wrote
Yah, it’s about a 2x5 pano. 2 shots high, 5 wide for a total of 10 shots

Woah that’s so cool. I’m still new to photography and this is fascinating stuff! I have to try this some day.
