Valldal IX - Dusk

Description

Panorama of Valldal on the west coast of Norway, taken after sunset (I have forgotten to change the clock on my camera to winter time, so the EXIF is wrong. The picture was taken around 4:30 PM) on Christmas Eve. We went up there to light some torches.

Luckily it wasn't as much snow as last time I went up there in the winter, so we got up pretty easily. And it was a clear sky (you can see a few stars if you look closely, most notably the constellation the Plough/Big Dipper) so the moon lit the way for us when we went back down again.

The rest of my Valldal panoramas can be seen here.

Sorry for the bad quality, but I had to lighten the picture slightly, and my camera is generally not very fond of dark areas and anything above 100 iso (and especially not the combination), so even before I ligthened it looked a bit crappy in some areas, sadly :(

Post-processing
Stitched 11 pictures together with automatic photomerge in photoshop. Edited some of the layer masks slightly to bring out all the car light lines.

Lightened the picture slightly with curves, and lightened the valley and mountains only slightly more with another curves layer. Cropped the picture.
