Panorama of Folkingham

Image: © Bob Harvey Taken: 13 Mar 2016

Seen from the nearby hilltop is the village of Folkingham. The church of St Andrew with its 4-pinnacled tower is toward the right. A little to the left is the spire of St.Nicholas Church in Walcot, further to the north. To the right of the church can be seen the Greyhound, former coaching inn. The Panorama starts roughly west-nor-west and ends just about due north. This was stitched from six separate images using Microsoft's ICE, resulting in an image of 23069x4095 pixels. The stitching process introduced a distortion which was corrected using The Gimp, skewing the picture by 161 pixels to the right at the top, to get the church tower and spire upright. It then had to be scaled down to 10173x1500 to fit within the 8Mb file limit for Geograph. Larger versions are available on request. The individual images were 6480x4320 taken with my Samsun NX500, using the 50..200 lens at 200mm, equivalent to 300mm on a 35mm camera. The camera was using iso ratings between 160 and 200, at f5.6 and 1/500 second. The day had started very foggy and although there was some bright sunlight a lot of misty haze persisted at ground level.
