Oct. 6, 2021, 5:30PM -- This off the radar place might be the most gorgeous locations in all of Maine. Located on the Schoodic Peninsula in the far less visited part of Acadia National Park, Raven's Nest is one of the park's best kept secrets. Park rangers will not reveal the exact location, apparently in an attempt to keep traffic down in the area. There are only about 4 parking places at the pull off for the location. While the entirety to the Schoodic Area is gorgeous, we loved this harder-to-find place located near Schoodic Point.
This shot proved to be one of the most difficult wall murals I have ever attempted to process and stitch. Stitching them was the difficult part because there were many images with just the ocean. Nothing to reference to for the stitching software. Finally I noticed that there were 100's of lobster/crab pot buoys scattered all over the ocean surface. I was able to use these buoys as reference points to do the stitching.
Shoot with Canon R5, f/11, 1/160th sec., ISO 200 using Canon 200mm lens. Original image consists of 760 individual focus bracketed images. These were processed down to 96 focus stacked images and then stitched into the final image seen here.
The un-cropped image is: 2.29 Giga-pixels, 34,188 x 75,851 pixels, 119" x 213" 300 dpi un-cropped (9:16 ratio) image size
