Story
The Ecrins National Park in France is one of the most beautiful areas of the Alps. In four hours of hiking, you can experience beautiful summits, several different valleys, and a glacier. It’s like a giant natural stair, and with every new step you discover a new valley, getting always closer to the glacier. The waterfalls falling along walls of several hundred meters, and rivers leaking from the glacier are spreading through the different levels, reminding you of the end goal of the adventure. In October 2020 I spent several days exploring this area. It was a very intense experience and I fell in love with it. This panorama was captured during the last day, as I was hiking back to the civilization. The foreground and the mid-ground of the scene are actually separated by several hundred meters heigh. I had found a little flat area inside the waterfall and was standing a few meters before the void in which the water was falling into the underneath valley, to join other river. The very end of the glacier can also be seen at the right of the scene. My purpose with this panorama was to show how the water is spreading into the different valleys from the glacier, bringing life all over the park.

Collection
Each image in the collection is the result of the panorama stitching of up to 40 images per scene, in order to capture the largest angle possible. For that reason, these images can be viewed on a very large display, allowing you to dive deep into the details. The process of creation is extremely long and meticulous due to the stitching process and the high number of pixels, requiring to post-process the image further in the details.
