I know, I know, I’ve posted a few of this lately, but I wanted to frame a really big one and didn’t think my 21 megapixel camera had enough resolution to do it justice so I waited for a windless night and went back. This baby is a four shot stitch giving me all the res I need for a mega print (enough for a large poster size and more) without the fisheye lens distortion although the perspective is still pretty extreme.

Not sure if I like the clear or cloudy sky more, opinions welcome.
