Roganstown Walkabout

Isolation restrictions have been extended until May 5th, so it’s lovely to have good neighbours like Roganstown Hotel & Golf Course who gave me permission in 2020 to use their grounds to practice taking panoramic photos.

Theres not much time to work on these if you’re looking to catch dawn light, you pretty much have to know where you want to be and be set up as there’s really only half an hour of this kind of magic light to work with. I use The Photographer’s Ephemeris to see when and where the sun will rise and try to get there 30 minutes before I need to be. It takes a bit of time to set up the tripod and Nodal Ninja, which allows me to take multiple images on the Canon 5dMkiv so that I can stitch them together later in Lightroom to make high resolution image files big enough to fill a wall.
