Matera at Sunset

So, today I wanted to share another high-resolution Pano, this one taken at sunset in Matera, Italy.  I set out with this type of photo in mind but didn’t realize how lucky I would actually get.  The sunset was just perfect, especially with most of the color and details in the sky so close to the horizon.  A neat little perk to shooting with the D800 is that you can crop your photo and still retain a ton of resolution.  After some lighting adjustments and a little extra sharpening from NIK’s Sharpener (you can try it for free – I now use it on every photo I export from Lightroom!), the photo was ready.  I uploaded the full size photo today, so go ahead and click it to see the vivid details.  It might take a few moments to load, its a big file!

Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting!
