Pano of a field of Oil Seed Rape
by GIULIO57
I don’t know if it is possible to take pictures inside a Natural Reserve but I did it. Last year I had a few problems with a policeman. While taking pics in this area suddenly appeared a jeep of Police Patrol Dept. Guy was extremely polite with me: he asked me for to know why I was there and if I took photos for my own pleasure or for job. I gave all these news to him but I must observe that no signal WARN peoples about photos or what to do or not. This year I looked at this beautiful field. I entered in this area again:NO GATES!!...and I took this pano in ten minutes. While leaving this area on my car….appeared POLICE Patrol. They gave me a bad look….but I was driving my car…I was not taking photos or stealing or doing something bad. By the way: again NO SIGNALS WARN YOU…so I’m allowed to take photos, to ride my bike (there are a lot of bikers!!). Camera on tripod. Three captures using Pentax Zoom Lens 12-24mm. Captures stiched together using CS5 Photomerge. No filters. Just a few steps on CS5 to correct levels and contrast (+5%). I took this pano to give right dimensions of this field. Depth: 2Km and Length 4km. On the left there is another field. Smaller than previous: about 2 x 1 Km.(For those of you that will come to Italy. Here it is absolutely forbidden to take pics of Military Areas, Train Stations, Airports). Address for a big version:
