How big is too big? The above photo asks this question. In its raw state it is almost 1 GB which is huge. That is what you get when make a panorama out of 7 x 61 MPixel images. Crazy. That is until you look at the detail such an image has.
For those of you who might not know this is the view from Mount St. Bernard’s Abbey of the Trent valley from Ratcliffe Power Station to East MIdlands Airport. It is a view I have captured before but yesterday I decided to really go for it. Perhaps the most memorable thing about the view is that very shortly it will no longer exist. Ratcliffe no longer produces any electricity and by 2030 it will be pulled down. Well at least that is the plan at the moment.
So you can see I was out about capturing images for my latest photo project. If I keep this pace up I might have things wrapped up by Christmas. Not sure I want to rush things that much.

I really appreciate the panorama. I have a panorama taken from Felicity’s wood, near the Beacon, which also includes Ratcliffe Power Station. But the picture is stitched from wide angle images to give a sense of depth and the power station is tiny.
Thanks for this…at one level it will be a shame when the power station is pulled down. It has been there most of my life. But things move on.
