Landscape from a cliff: Devil's Den

[KatiaMarie]

Okay, this one's kind of fun. There are 7 photos in this panoramic. Where I took these is called Devil's Den, hence the name. It's only accessible by ATV and I actually paid my friend's mom $20 to drive me out there. I cannot post all of the before pics. It won't let me.
Devil's Den Photos

EXIF for all shots:
Camera Model: NIKON D50
Focal Length: 20.0mm (35mm equivalent: 30mm...
Aperture: f/6.3
Exposure Time: 0.0050 s (1/200)
Flash: No

-I put all of the photos into one PhotoShop project.
-I then created a layer mask over each layer, with the exception of the first layer.
-I adjusted all the photos so that they lined up with each other on each piece. (tree lining up with the same piece on a tree, etc.)
-I then used the brush tool, on the black side, on the layer mask and started painting over the overlapping piece to blend it together.
-I did this with each mask and then cropped the photo so there were no lose ends on the top or bottom.
The end result is actually about 26 inches long and 5 inches high.

wow, a beautiful panoramic.
I'd suggest adding a little bit of fill light or +EV because the shadows are a bit too dark.

I can't go retake the shot easily either. My friend's mom moved out of that area and it's a 20 minute ATV ride up a hill. Imagine trying to hike that with a lot of camera gear without a safe place to park your car.... Not fun.
