Wanna know how to create Gigapixel panoramas?
Here I present a DIY Guide for building an automated tripod head.

An approaching winter storm enables a great visibility of far distant features like individual trees in the mountains -at a distance of more than 70 kms. Gusty winds and low light are non-optimal conditions for high resolution panorama photos. Sony A7 RII, 400mm Sigma telezoom, 1/400s, f11, ISO 500. With these setting the raw images are quite a bit noisy. The image quality is enormously improved by applying AI based noise suppression with DxO Photolabs Deep Prime algorithm.
