Some more photos from Crimea

[Roman White]

I watched through my photo archives and found there many photos which I haven't yet uploaded anywhere. Take a look at them 

A short stop in the mountains on the road from Feodosiya to Simferopol


Close to Demerji mt.


I was observing something in my binoculars


And here is what I actually looked at (Southern Demerji mt., 1239m)

And this place is called a "Valley of ghosts". If you look on the previous photo, this valley is visible to the right (between two mountains)

Wow, some spectacular scenary Roman, well caught

[martinastro]

Those are fantastic. Amazing scenes. Valley of the ghosts looks haunting yet beautiful at the same time. Looks like a geology gold mine!

[Roman White]

Thanks, John and Martin  There are a lot of limestone and marble, as I know

More...
Chatyr-Dag mt. (1526m)


Demerji mt., 'rear' view (from SE)


Drive carefully there!


Crimean roads are really enjoyable to drive

Cumulus moving N to S across Karabi-yayla mt. range


Some more Cu above Karabi-yayla


P.S. Karabi imho is the most beautiful mt. range in Crimean mts.

This transport we used to get to Khaphal canyon (see this topic). Only offlanders can drive that road (people of course too, but walking another 1km in the mountains isn't always necessary   )

Caught some spectacular crepuscular rays at the seashore on the way back (5PM)



Sun setting behind the mt.Artyshly-Burun (352m) near Sudak.


Not great background, but very distinct crep. rays

The most strange-shaped Cumulus I have ever seen

Possibly it formed due to powerful & hot wind from S, and the cloud was 'blown away' and evaporating at the same time.

Another strange shape of Cu. I don't remember whether I posted this on the forum or not, so here's the link

I call this "Railroad sunset". Waxing crescent Moon adds to it.


Panorama of the Feodosiya seaport

and closer...

(excessive blue, yes? I like this colour!)

Here I made some attempts to assemble a panoramic shot

Can someone recommend me a useful & easy software for making panoramic images? Please.

Oh,great ! I love to see photos of where people live, especially from another country . The trucks, the railway, the docks etc.. Any of your town centre ? and  it's good to actually see who we are 'talking ' to.  Strange rock structure there, I guess they are just weathered  to those shapes.

That's a good effort at stitching, I don't think it's easy but the right software will make the job a lot easier.

Thanks for your reply, John.

I wonder why nobody (except of Tyler) posted on the forum photos of this kind. BTW I also like to see another cities & lands, it is like a 'virtual travel' 

Any of your town centre ?

I think this is worth to start an another topic

Very nice selection of images Roman, I love the trucks!

Great shots Roman - a part of the world I've never visited - looks like great scenery!

Serif Panorama Plus. v1 can be had for free on certain cover discs - I upgraded to v2 which is supposed to cost £40 but was £10 as an upgrade from a freebie. Does seamless blending and so on and works a treat on Moon Mosaics as well!

I'm told that the PhotoMerge in Photoshop Elements v6 and 7 is very good too - I have v5 and the function in that one is next to useless.
