What's going on here?
Looks like sloppy editing, with the presumably distant mountain cutting into the nearer hill.....
LOL, I was wondering who would notice that. That's called photomerging two low quality cell phone images on a low powered laptop still running PS2. Bad blend just at that one end of the MT. I was just playing yesterday and didn't worry about it too much.
I use that technique seriously for a lot of Panographs and large images. I'll take a telephoto and shoot highly detailed pieces of an image then merge them in photoshop. This has pretty much eliminated my medium format gear for scenics.
This 3' x 5' picture was shot using a Mamiya 200/2.8 APO lense adapted to my Canon 5D body. It's around 30 images combined, then cropped and downsized. In the full resolution image you can clearly see several elk at the bottom of the valley along the creek. This was printed up as a test of the technique more than for the image itself.
The shot from yesterday was just me being lazy.
