I think we tried this once before. How about posting some images of where we live so that the other members get an idea of our environments.

I'll kick off with this panorama taken just above my house. First chance this weekend to get out without rain.

Five D800 images stitched together in PS6 (yes that gives a 767 Mb file), cropped to 546 Mb, flattened to 235 Mb, dimensions reduced to 5000 pixels, then saved to maximum 500 kb size. The original TIF has to be seen to be believed. No PP at all.

Bet it looks even better 'in the flesh' Ed!

Not sure if this qualifies because I only stay there part time with my children but will add it anyway.

It's a view I see every sunset but between houses, so I determined to make something of it last week and took a short walk, 50 metres? with the D5100 to capture the sunset, which turned out to be a quite reasonable one.

D5100, 18-105 f3.5-5.6 VR at 24mm, 1/1000 Sec @ f10. Taken as an NEF.

Entirely in Lightroom 3 with minimal adjustments. Exposure was spot on, I upped the saturation slightly, boosted the black to get rid of faint images in the foreground and a little sharpening, oh, and I did a spot graduation selection on the sun to locally reduce the exposure a little because it was glaring a bit.

I added the copyright and border in Photoshop. Saved as TIFF and did Shift+Command+4 to make a JPEG screen grab of it, which is what you are seeing! How low tech can you get!

Straight out the camera (XPro1) downsized and uploaded.
Like Robert literally 50 metres from my house.

View from top of the hill.

and the next 90 degrees. These three images when stitched would represent about a 270 degree view.
