Thank you! =)

It's a stitched panorama done with D90 & Sigma 17-50 f2.8 @17mm
The shot was taken handheld (since I didn't have my tripod with me unfortunately) therefore the settings were f2.8, 1/8s at ISO1600.
If I had my tripod the settings of course would be ISO200 f8 or 11 and appropriate shutterspeed...

It's very nice!!. I look forward to a similar opportunity soon.
Just out of curiosity, if you were going to stitch anyways, why did you opt for 17mm? There is a lot of distortion in the foreground. If you go back with your tripod, try a longer focal length, or 1 long exposure at 17mm
Just an idea.

Taken from atop the Schlossberg I assume? Very nice, I was there in January.

Well I was at 17 mm and realized I needed a wider angle so I just started stitching. You're probably right that it might work out better at a longer focal length...
But I wasn't sure if I would be able to completely cover every spot handheld and mainly I was afraid the light would change too quickly and I'd be left with nothing.

I do so many stitched panoramas I should really consider buying an ultra wide angle already! =D It's just so time consuming having to stitch everytime you want something wider... =S

Yes, you're right. =) It is lovely indeed and I was lucky to catch amazing weather and light...
