This is a pano of the view from the apartment in the Southern suburbs of Cape Town where I might have had to sit out a COVID-19 lockdown in South Africa.

Nice.

Thanks!


Must try out the pano features of the X-T3. But it just has too many
buttons and menu options for me!

That was a 5 image handheld pano stitched in LR rather than using the Fuji pano feature.

I just couldn’t resist the dawn light on the mountain, so I just snapped the 5 shots with the X-T3 & 16-55 f/2.8, ISO 160 @ f/4.0.

Very well done.

Are those 2 darkish 'rays' from the mountain-top into the sky around
60-70% across, articfacts from the stitching or tricks of the light in
the source photos ?

It was a down & dirty, non-manual, spur of the moment effort. I believe those issues you noted are due to shutter speed variations between frames. I shot aperture priority f/4.0 @ ISO 160. The SS for the 5 frames, left to right a 1/120, 1/105, 1/60, 1/125,& 1/210.

I can't see how that can be an explanation. Could it be the pano
software being confused by the bright light on the bluff between those
two dark rays?
