Location City -  Groblershoop
State -  NORTHERN CAPE
Country - South Africa   South Africa
About Taken close to a very small rural town called Groblershoop. The landscape is made up of sandblown red dunes covered with a savanna/thicket type vegetation which was particularly lush after some exeptional rains. This cloud dominated the sky and demanded a photo. I took 3 shots next to each other in portrait format and stitched them together in Panorama Maker 4.

Hello Joggie,

Congratulations !

Great view, the clouds really jump into the monitor. I can imagine they asked for a photo.
Beautiful landscape, with excellent interpretation of the 3e rule. Like the colours and the POV you chose. The foreground adds to this total view. Well done !!!

Greetz,
Albert

Thanks Mark - No tripod,I stood in one place. The Panorama Maker 4 software seems to straighten the horizon to a large extent and the three portrait format shots did not span such a large distance that it could cause major distortions. Regards.

Outstanding photo. I love the texture and lighting on the clouds. Just curious, did you use a tripod and pan across or just stand in one spot and turn? I see no distortion at all in the horizon. Congrats on the DoD.

cheers, -mm

Hi Joggie,

That cloud looks like it's coming after me! It's definately the leader of the pack, nice capture with a WOW color factor.

Your stitching is seamless, and thanks for the info on the program you used.

Best regards,
Kes

Fantastic sky. It would have been nice to get really close to one of big tufts of grass as it's a similar shape to the cloud and would make a complete picture.
