Whitsun slipped by with some people not even noticing it...

We had glorious weather here - ideal because, as I mentioned, I had visitors from Germany.
They had a whole week of sunshine, sunburn and all.
We went sight-seeing a couple of times and, of course, I had my camera with me.



The Hohe Kasten - the mountain you've already seen on one or two of my pics -
has a new, rotating restaurant on it's summit.
We breakfasted up there on the Friday after Whitsun.
The resulting panoramas took a little longer to process.
Shooting directly into the sun causes over-exposure. To compensate, I took all of the pictures with three different exposures and combined the results to HDR (High Dynamic Range) images - that means three separate panorama images combined to display the details in both the clouds and the dark parts of the scene.





The new restaurant is well worth a visit, by the way.
It completes a revolution every hour - giving you plenty of time to eat and enjoy the view...
