More panos here [link]

A winter panorama shot of the valley Valldal on the west coast of Norway, taken during the christmas holiday. Stitched together of 15 pictures (CS3 did the whole job during a minute or so, better than I could do with hours of work on my first pano ).

It was about 50cm of new powder snow (and even more snow beneath that) and my brother and I went up walking with snowshoes [link] for the first time in our life ( we sank deeper in the snow than we would have expected...). We used about 1 1/2 hour on a trip that usually takes about 30 minutes. You can say it was like running up a hill with high knee lifts while having weights on your feet or something, extremely hard work at least
But it was definately worth it!

Post-processing:
Stitched some pictures together, obviously. Fixed the contrast with curves, added a lighter curve only on the lower part as the valley was pretty dark, and the mountain tops really light. Added two black and white layers set to hard light (140%), mainly on the sky and the mountain tops.
