I took this VAST photo of fog and sunset over Bar Harbor from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park on June 6, 2016, 7:50 PM. It is stitched from 28 photos with Photoshop (it was too large for Lightroom to stitch). The sun was setting fast and the fog was moving fast too, so I shot a single row at 140mm, f/8, ISO 64, 1/20 sec. I didn’t have time for a second row or longer focal length before the sun had set behind a bank of clouds and the beautiful light disappeared. I chose f/8 and focused on the ridge where the hikers were because I liked the town and fog being slightly out of focus in the distance compared to the sharp outline of the ridge catching the last of the sun’s golden glow.
Camera settings: 140mm, f/8, ISO 64, 1/25.
Stitching data: 28 images in 1 row covering 155° vertical field of view, cropped to a 3:1 ratio for printing.
Equipment used: Nikon D810, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR II, and Really Right Stuff TVC-34L tripod w/ leveling base & BH-55 ballhead. Edited with Lightroom. Stitched with Photoshop.
