South Tirol. Italy
Sep 24, 2019 10:42:12 #
In one of the strangest episodes of WWI, Britain and France offered a bribe to Italy not to join the Germany/Austria side of the war. The bribe? The southern part of the Austrian province of Tirol, south of the Alps, called the Südtirol. The Austrians living there suddenly found themselves part of Italy and the civil unrest lasted until the 1960s. However the compromises secured with the Italian government allowed this area to retain its heritage and language, as well as greater fiscal autonomy. Culturally, this part of Italy remains Austrian. In fact, Austria did not release its claims over this area until 1992.
After crossing over the summit of the Timmelsjoch Pass, we began the long and spectacular descent. This pano is one of my favorite views from the road. That road is visible in the upper left of the frame.
Note also the beautiful little village on the right with the bridge connecting it to the other side of the valley.

Now, that is a panorama!
Beautiful mountain valley and an interesting view of the village life, Vienna74! One can study human adaptation to the life in the mountains, imaginning the severe climate conditions - sometimes with a help of magnifying glass. (Almost like studying Breughel pantings, right?).
I feel a little sorry for the snowplow driver (s), though.
Now my questions:
How many frames did you use? Stitched in the camera or in the PhotoShop? About six frames?
Did you use a tripod?
What camera model and what focal length lens did you use?
Thank you for sharing!
Cheers!

Lets see...this was 12 frames, hand-held, portrait orientation. I shot them with a D750 and 50mm 1.8. (I use my 50 more than my 24-120 zoom because it does not distort the way a wide angle does and because I know I can stitch.) I stitched this in LR, although I often use PS for stitching. There are some things about PS, such as boundary warping that I sometimes want to use.
By the way, this area gets about 270 days of sunshine annually.

Sorry. I misspoke. I was thinking of the pano I posted after this of the Tirolo Castle. This was 6 frames. The rest of the info is the same.

Very nice work! When I was stationed in Europe in the 60s, the Tyroleans considered themselves a distinct entity extending from southern Germany, through central Austria and in to Italy. Graffitti was prominent declaring that the Tyrol would never be divided into three parts ("Drei geteilt - niemals!")

Yes, today the province of Tirol include Osttirol (East Tirol), which is still in Austria, but not connected physically to the rest of Tirol. The reason it is "disconnected" is the removal of South Tirol (to Italy).
