Summer Solstice Sunrise Panorama (June 20, 2024).jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
Sunrise on the day of summer solstice, June 20, 2024, a day earlier than usual as 2024 was a Leap Year. The Sun was rising at its most northerly point on the north-eastern horizon this day, on the left side of the panorama with due east at centre and southeast to the right. A faint light pillar is visible above the Sun. East at centre of the frame.

Taken from home in southern Alberta, Canada, at ~ 5:20 am MDT. There is a matching panorama taken from the same spot 16 hours later at moonrise, with the nearly Full Moon rising, a rarity for solstice day.

TECH DATA:
This is a panorama of 6 segments at 30° spacings, each segment a 7-exposure HDR blend to retain the bright sky and still bring out the otherwise dark ground. With the Canon R5 and RF28-70mm lens at 28mm.

Each HDR frrame set blended with Adobe Camera Raw, but blended segments then stitched with PTGui with Cylindrical projection, as ACR refused to stitch the pano. Taken as part of a panorama to depict the rise points of the Sun and Moon this day. I applied a mild level of Sky Enhancer and Glow filters with Luminar Neo.
