Been away from Steemit for quite some time, which unfortunately is becoming the norm for me. Life is busy. We are planning an intercontinental move, photography workshops, booking more work and we even went to New York city!!!
Well in the middle of it all I've had some time to work on photos that have been simmering for quite some time, and one of them is this panoramic stitch I took of a suburb in Jerusalem. Out in the distance, just off center you can see the massive wall that forms the barrier between Israel and Palestine winding along the hilltop. I liked this spot because you can see so many of the hills and valleys that Jerusalem is full of. The city just goes up and down every where. It's a lot of hiking just to get around on foot but it makes for some pretty beautiful scenery!
This single image is a composition of 19 individual photos taken in portrait orientation, then stitched together automatically using Photoshop. The color grading and other basic editing was done using Lightroom.
That's all for today, but hopefully will have some more time to post again soon, I'm not giving up on Steemit!! As always if you enjoyed this post feel free to toss me one of those sweet sweet upvotes, you know I always appreciate them! And be sure to follow me @dexter-k on Steemit to keep up with our travels and see new original content all the time.
Thanks for reading!

Welcome back! Thanks for sharing this detailed photo. There's a lot going on. Good luck on your move too.
Thanks @pfunk, it's good to be back! The original images were taken with a 180mm lens at f4 so there is a ton of detail in the full res shot, even having limited the initial images to 8MB each. Thanks for the well wishes, we are really looking forward to it!
beautiful scenary
Thanks so much @rawoof :)
beautiful photo
Thank you @mariaa, glad you like it!
Wow how big is the final image?
This particular one is only 3.4 MB because I scaled it down a ton in photoshop and reduce the dpi to 72. The original was 34.8 MB but it was only that small because I exported the original files at 8 MB max each. Typically they would have come out at around 12-16 MB each which would probably have put this one at around 50 MB for the final stitch.
Cool!
