2.5:1 Panoramic image with 9 vertical images stitched together in Photoshop.

This is an image I wanted to make for like ages. But somehow that didn't really happen. Off course you can always say that the sky could have been more dramatic and I would agree to that. But the issue is that till now the Swiss Alps have some pretty dark areas and that gives amazing opportunity of MilkyWay shot. If you get there in a cloudy day in the wish of a break, the MilkyWay will go out of the option. So in this dilemma in many cases I end up on the mountain lately in good weather days! Probably not the best. I should go out more in bad weather to get some more drama in the images.

However; I am happy to find this location and composition. It was not a very easy job. As this is kind of within the broken rocks. There are not really any trails to get there. I just went down following the rocks. The little rock climbing training of my early mountaineering days did help. So I put the camera on the panoramic head on panorama mode and started the exposure from the left. By the time the camera would come to this part, my job would be to quickly climb the rock and pose in a natural way. Going there quickly was a challenge. But I did manage to get the timing right after couple of attempts.

Now coming to the place. Well, I am not sure I need to explain about the largest glacier of Alps; that is 20 km in length, 800 meters in depth and 79 square kilometers in area. This famous Aletsch Glacier starts all the way from Jungfrau and ends here on the left. From this location you can see this spectacular view of the whole panoramic glacier.

Ok. If you have already reached till here; may be you will be interested to see this region in a bit more detail!
