I came back to look at this again, and then spotted which lens you used, which makes this doubly impressive, as the F35-70 isn't known for high contrast / sharpness. I'm curious to know what focal length and aperture you used, if you have any of those details and anything else you can share about the processing of this image.

The edges might be weaker on a FF camera, but on a APS-C sensor is the F 35-70mm lens plenty sharp. Contrast is not really an issue as I shoot RAW only and pp every image anyway.

- I used my camera in M-mode and shot all the images with 1/1250 sec, f8 and ISO 400 @35mm.

- I pp the images in LR (old version 5.7.1), exported full resolution jpg-images and stitched them with Hugin (tiff files would also have been possible, but those files tend to get really big when stitching).

- The panorama image got some minor adjustments in LR (I shot the pano by hand, therefore I somewhat sagged on the left side and had to insert some sky in the upper left corner (area repair/stamping tool ... I don't know how it is called in english

), it got an additional crop too)

The whole file has a size of 13549 x 5113 pixels. Full resolution is sharp too, but sharpness got an additional boost because of the resizing to 3000 x 1132 pixels before I uploaded the image to flickr (no need for full resolution files when it is mainly viewed on 1920 x 1080 monitors anyway)

+ another one. Very nice pic.

I've given up on an Austrian vacation. Planned a few years back but cancelled last minute due to critical work issues. Looking back, I made the right decision to cancel. Planned a second time for June 2020 when the world shut down. I don't think I'm supposed to go.

Planned a Greece vacay and all went well.

Great photo. But watch the horizon line!!! It is dipping to the left.

Where was this pano taken?

Regards

Chris

Great shot - I like the lines leading to the right hand vanishing point.
