yes, it should be in AF gallery because the image itself is 1024 pixel (the added white frame pixels should not count in my opinion).
And yet, truly a breathtaking view, as most Scot land views are, especially when taken by Bob.
I personally would wish that it was taken by MF lens  but you can't have everything  
I must go to visit Scotland absolutely.
Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, and to get back to Norway, these places are all on my wished travels book.
But with my work, it is so difficult for me to put together enough consecutive free time to travel

Form Bob's picture it shows, and in my opinion this is what makes an already beautiful scenery, special.
All curved lines feel more "organic" and fit better in a natural landscape in my opinion.

Thank you guys.
@ Attila and Mo-Fo:
Re panos...
I've shot this particular view at 17mm, 20mm and 35mm in the past and top and tailed the images etc. but always seem to come back to 50 - 60mm as the scene loses much of it's balance and impact when shot at a wider FOV as there is very little of interest at the sides. I've also shot it with the P6 and the RB67 and again, I prefer a normal lens with the 6x7 format looking a bit more balanced than the 6x6 that I would almost certainly crop to rectangular.
The other reason for a lack of panos is hardware based in that my computer is rather old now and is quite slow at opening existing single 5D files never mind stitching a series. I'm still using Photoshop Elements 2 too as although I haven't tried the current version of Elements, the machine won't run CS4 as the graphics aren't up to scratch.
@ Dave and Orio:
Very few people shoot the view from this point as it's a two mile walk in, followed by a 300' climb up the side of the glen - instead they all troop to the point just above the visitor centre which is visible just to the left of the monument located approximately at the top RH corner of the bottom LH third. Much easier to get to, but nowhere near as nice a view IMO - and the viaduct looks straight from this viewpoint. I usually load up a Pro-Trekker backpack with the Bessaflex, 5D, RB67 and P6 + lenses and tripod and can do the hike + climb in about 20-25 minutes if I'm in a bit of a hurry... |

I know but I'd still have the same hardware limitations as my machine is not really up to stitching multiple images whether letterbox or multi-row.
It can take about 25 minutes to stitch a 20 image pano and that's assuming it doesn't crash while doing so and I don't need to tweak anything.
Already been there with this - I'd be quicker going back to my original method from 20 years ago of assembling panos from carefully trimmed and cut prints. Or painting it...
What I'd really like to do though is a 10 shot RB67 Velvia multi-row...  |
