Brilliantly blooming tree by a brook

Today’s panorama experiment

Today I tried stitching together 10 shots of the morning sky from our back window. Here is the result of this, and a little more editing, in Affinity Photo and Aurora HDR Pro.
Panorama experiment

I only recently started playing with the panorama feature of Affinity Photo. This morning I tried making a panorama from eight photos that needed to be combined vertically as well as horizontally. Within a few seconds, Affinity Photo produced an excellent stitching job, which I then played with a bit in Affinity and in Aurora HDR Pro. My only regret is that I did not make the shots five minutes earlier, when the light on the tops of the trees was much more interesting. I thought I could finish making the coffee, rather than run upstairs with the camera. But good light waits for no one.
