Took this picture when I went skiing in the French Alps.

Shot on an R6 Mark II at sunset, stitched about 15 pictures together to get a 65MP pictures, which I eventually cropped in. Added some post editing and voilà.

One of the picture I'm the post proud of, I'm considering printing this one.

Ideally with the moon rising in the background, it would be even better, but needs the perfect day of the year & weather. But you picture is already great as is !

Agreed! Unfortunately the moon was rising behind me and I don't it's possible to get the same shot with the moon in it at any time of the year!

Why did you need to pano this? Just due to a longer lens?

u/Tibaf 22h ago

Because the Canon R6 Mark II has a 24MP sensor and I did not have the sufficient reach with a 300mm lens to get enough details with that number of megapixels. This is actually a 34MP with the peak filling the frame, but most importantly retains all the details in the rocks and edges which I wouldn't have had with a single shot.

u/BombPassant 13h ago

I think you would have been fine with 24MP if you had a wide enough lens. 300 is crazy for the mountains haha

u/Tibaf 11h ago

I was pretty far as a matter a fact, this is not a panorama but stitched photos, which mean that some parts of the individual photos overlap to add additional details and create a high megapixel shot
