This is a website of photographs taken by me. They are mainly panoramic photographs that have been created by stitching together mutiple photographs (mostly taken with a DSLR).
The number of photographs used in the panoramas varies depending upon the angle of view and the focal length of the lens.

More than half of the pictures are taken in the Lake District as I attempt to climb all 214 Wainwrights.
Many of the panoramas are labelled and dots added to hyperlink to other pictures enabling you to 'teleport' between pictures.
In the Wainwrights section there is more information including tables of completed fells, maps with links to the pictures and maps of each trip.
The walks section outlines each walk with more pictures, animations of each route, stats, relevant quotes by Wainwright etc.

There are various ways of accessing the photos from the front page.
Selecting ALL lists all the pictures but can be slow.
Instead you can filter by by selecting a country or a year instead.
Alternatively you can select a random picture or look at some of my favourites.

In total there are currently:
947 Standard Panoramas, 525 in the lakes
663 Labelled Panoramas (534 L+ with 22,611 hotspots)
95 High Res Panoramas

Picture links - Click on the coloured boxes to go to the different versions. The thumbnail pictures also links to the standard version. When the picture is being viewed there are also links to the other versions.

Pictures are available as 4 different types:

Standard Resolution versions are usually 800 pixels high and can be viewed in a web browser by scrolling across to the right. These versions load fairly quickly but if you zoom in on these pictures the quality will quickly degrade. These pictures are generally under 5 Mb in size.

Labelled versions are provided for most photos from the Lake District where the summits and other features are labelled. These are all Standard Resolution.

These are versions that also have hotspots (the dots) which link directly to other pictures.

High Resolution versions are provided for some pictures. These will load much more slowly but you can zoom into them to see more detail using your web browser. The actual size and loading speed of these varies a lot but some will be very slow because the pictures can be up to 120 Mb. I do not fix stitching errors in the High Resolution versions because they are difficult to find and some of them are too big to load into photoshop. These files will often not load into devices such as TVs but should work well on most computers. High Res versions are often cropped to remove detail that is not interesting to zoom in on, such as excessive amounts of sky.

Stitcher

This column shows whether Photoshop or Lightroom has been used to stitch the images. Each has advantages but I use Lightroom if possible as there is better detail and better contrast in the final image. However there is more control using Photoshop, it is possible to set the centre of the photo for example whereas Lightroom will sometimes put a key feature of the image at the side and there is nothing I can do about it. Some sequences simply will not stitch with Lightroom and have to be abandoned, while in Photoshop there is an interactive option which means that major stitching problems can be corrected by relocating or manually aligning individual shots within the stitch. Lightroom also tends to remove moving objects that appear differently in multiple photographs (example). Some of the Lightroom versions have been processed in Photoshop after stitching as well, particularly to fix minor stitching errors such as broken horizons.

Settings

Lists information about the camera and other settings. These are: What Camera model was used eg Canon 5D Mk 3, What Lens was used eg Canon 17/40mm F4L, the Focal Length of the lens when the pictures were taken, ISO/Aperture/Shutter speed when the pictures were taken, Orientation of the camera ie was the camera held in a P - Portrait or L - Landscape position, was the stitch a 360degree image?, was a tripod used? Was a panosaurus panoramic head used?
