This stereographic panorama was shot at the “Fairy Fort” at Roxborough overlooking Teelin Bay in South Donegal, Ireland.
The panorama was created by combining 24 separate digital photographs covering every angle and with bracketed exposures. Hence the detail has been captured both in the brightest areas of the sky and in the shadows on the opposite side of the bay.
The Atlantic Ocean lies to the left of the picture beyond Teelin Harbour at the mouth of the bay. The village of Carrick lies to the right.
The mountain wreathed in clouds is Sleive League, the seaward side of which takes a precipitative fall into the sea, creating the highest sea cliffs in Europe.
To shoot this panorama the tripod was perched on the walls of an ancient rath - a circular structure of stone and earth - known locally as 'The Fairy Fort'. The stones of the wall of the rath can be seen showing through the grass at the centre of the panorama. Its interior is filled with a strong growth of ferns, making the lighter green area in the lower central part of the picture.
Because of the way that it was created this is a very high resolution image (the equivalent of about 80-megapixels). It's capable of delivering very fine detail even when printed at massive sizes.
It can be printed so large that it tests the limits of Imagekind's framing service. You could print it at:
- 24'x24' and frame it with a 4'-6' mat
- 36'x36' and frame it with no mat, or with one up to 2'
- 36'x36' on canvas
- 44'x44' on paper and have it framed elsewhere.
At sizes up to 24' square it will look good. At the larger sizes it is a real stunner!
