September has brought rain and overnight the moss went from brown to green. So I thought I'd photograph the house on the mossy rock using Lightroom's merge-to-panorama function. Since I lack a drone camera a from-below perspective will have to do.
For this image I used Lightroom 6.6 to stitch together eight Fuji Velvia jpgs, in two rows of four. Lightroom cleverly orders and aligns the shots with ease. Of course the more shots and the larger the files the longer it takes and the more memory Lightroom needs. Don't over do it: I drove Lightroom to cause a BSOD when it exhausted memory while trying to combine five D800e files.
I'm listening to Rock Steady by Aretha Franklin.
This is Lightroom's display of my photo locations laid over a map of the Mont Blanc massif. The little orange boxes follow the lines of the Chamonix to Aiguille du Midi to Point Helbronner cable car, and the number in each box is the number of photos in that proximity.
Here's where we're going, courtesy of the gps coordinates recorded in photos taken along the way. We began in the lower left in Chamonix and ended up on the lower right, in Zermatt.
