Cliff at Pendine Sands

I tried my hand at a panorama stitch - almost certainly overdid the number of exposures (10) but better too many than not enough. :-)
Lester may be just about visible, for a sense of scale.
Pendine Sands has an interesting history connected with the world of motor sport: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendine_Sands
Those strong vertical rocks look like animal feet , elephant's maybe , good for Lester to be in there for scale , I don't do stitching , I don't have much patience when it comes to post processing !

Awesome shot - can't imagine being able to stitch 10 shots - most I've tried has been 5 and that was no where as good as yours. Glad you had Lester there to show us just how immense those rocks are - love their bases.

@phil_howcroft @milaniet Thank you. The stitching part was just a question of loading the files into the right bit of Photoshop; PS did all the hard work. I had to clean up the top and bottom edges - that took a bit of filling in and some cropping - and then just did my usual processing. The recommended 'overlap' when taking the shots for getting clean joins is about 40%; I'm sure I must have made the overlaps at least 50% if not more, plus I'd only got a 100mm prime lens with me that day for some reason, hence the 10 shots (done in portrait orientation to capture as much of the the height of the cliff as I could, btw).

I turned out really well. Well done.

I sort of wish the scene moved up the cliff a little bit more. Stitching ten shots together is quite a feat, most impressive. The rock formations tend to remind me of huge tree trunks. Also, I do like the inclusion of a figure in the scene for scale. I think that adds to it nicely.

@sabresun yes, I'd like to have got a little more in. I expect it gets better with practice but I didn't make enough allowance for wasteage in the stitching process, though. As for the stitching itself, well PS did the real work. :-)
