Changing from traditional
to digital photography has allowed us to experience new image processing
techniques which would be hard to manage by digitalizing slides. In
this page we have collected some panoramic pictures built by merging
different digital images and processing them with some software.
By clicking on each thumbnail you will open the panoramic pictures
viewing them in their original size.

THE MISCHABEL RANGE FROM HOHSAAS (Switzerland)
|
It's the dawn of 2006, June 25, and I've just waked up at the Hohsaas
Bergrestaurant, 3.098 m, where I came up the evening before for climbing
the NW face of the Weissmies, 4.023 m. It's a wonderful morning without
any clouds. Anyway, I already know that weather is shortly going to
get worse and worse and I have only few hours for climbing my mountain.
The camera is a Canon 20D and the images have been processed by PhotoStitch
3.1.

in the background, Mont Blanc and Grand Combin (Italian/Swiss
Alps)
1973 Kb, 9337x1038 pixel.
These pictures have been shot from just some meters under the

The black walls in the foreground just in the middle of the
picture are the Grandes Murailles, which overlook Cervinia and
Valtournanche. The highest summits are the twins peaks of the
Jumeaux (3.878 and 3.872 m), just in the middle of the picture,
and on their right the Margherita summit (3.905 m).
Shifting rightward, you can see the high and peculiar summit
of Dent d'Herens (4.171 m). Then, right in foreground, the unmistakable
shape of Cervino/Matterhorn (4.478 m) which fills up the picture.
Eventually, at the very right of the image, you can see the
wonderful white pyramid of the Dent Blanche (4.356 m).
Looking at the center of the picture, and shifting leftward,
a little bit hidden by the fog in the background, there are
the Grand Combin (4.314 m) and the Mont Blanc (4.807 m).
The snow outline which you can see down on the left is the Gobba
di Rollin, 3.902 m, the highest point you can reach from Zermatt
with the skilifts. |
