Either or both.Are you suggesting shooting a tighter crop with a longer lens or longer lens/stitching?
It is a lovely image as it is, and stitched and printed 16 foot wide it would be awesome - partly as you could approach the picture and enjoy "pictures within the picture".I love the image and the immensity and grandeur it portrays ... I can easily envision it as a 8 or 10 foot wide print ... breathtaking if it has the resolution to hold up (which with the p45 probably would be pretty good).
Very nice tones. Bravo[/url][/IMG]
Using a longer lens only affects FoV as captured on the sensor. It won't change the perspective/compression/atmospheric conditions, it just changes how much of the scene is recorded. Stitching with a longer lens will yield an identical image with perhaps more detail. Shooting smaller FoV with a telephoto will also not yield any substantial difference than just cropping this image, other than detail.Either or both.

With a 200, 300 or 400mm lens you could also get wonderful pictures in atmospheric conditions that gave you the definition in the distance.

Gorgeous...From recent trip to Banff and Jasper NP's.

Wow, Pete, that is just a super shot.[/url][/IMG]
MF is mostly about detail... but a longer lens would not give you proportionally more real res, if res (in the far distance) was limited by haze.Using a longer lens only affects FoV as captured on the sensor.

While the additional detail may offer some additional depth and clarity, it really would only be visible in large prints, certainly not in a web jpeg, but the overall image would be basically the same regarding perspective/atmospheric conditions/compression.
Yes - I did know that DOF is very similar for the same reproduction ratio - and this is mostly relevant for macro, but I have just put the numbers into the Rags DOF calculator, and, at 20 miles, the DoF for 75mm square with a 210mm lens is almost identical to that for 50mm square with a 70mm lens.Yes, it would not even change de DoF, at same f-stop and same scale of reproduction.

They were actually right behind him, as he was running straight at me. It's one of those shots were the reality might seem unnatural. I'll consider adding some. Thanks for feedback!i gotta ask...no footprints?
No argument with any of this, I was just trying to clarify your original point which sounds like it was about alternative compositions more than anything else.MF is mostly about detail... but a longer lens would not give you proportionally more real res, if res (in the far distance) was limited by haze.
We were talking about 12 foot enlargements - not web jpegs.
Stitching can give less improvement than the increase you might hope for from the increase in pixel count... due to straightening pan-and-stitch images or decreased lens edge res with shift-and-stitch images... but my initial comment was mostly about getting a narrower angle of view with increased detail.
