My second year on the Dailies started on 1.2.09, if it is half as much fun as the first year then it will be worth doing. I will always try to take a photo every day, but there will be times when that isn't possible, so I might have to take the odd trip into the archives. I will also try and remember to map each photo, so if you want to see where an image comes from then use the "map this" feature.

4.1.10 - Glory Days!
This image is a labour of love, and it has been over 20 years in the making. It is a 3-shot photomerge panorama from some old transparencies taken on my first trip to the Nepal Himalaya back in 1988! The centre and right hand photos have appeared in a pano on the Dailies before, but until this evening I've not been able to join up the left hand shot of the mighty Ama Dablam.
The problem was that the tones were slightly different, and I just could not get them to match up. So I decided to try a B&W conversion and a sepia filter over the top of the image, with a fair bit of cloning to match up the sky. It seemed to work, and a white vignette completed another Ansel Adams homage. I've added the mountain names for anyone who knows the area, so they can work out roughly where Taweche Towers is. I've said before that it is the single most beautiful and spectacular place I've ever been to, 18,500' up above the blazed trail from Namche Bazaar to Everest Base Camp, and rarely visited.
