Like a giant open mouth in the fells around Rydal Water in the English Lake District National Park, Rydal Cave is a large cavern that was created by the quarrying of the area's famous green slate. It is now a very popular stopping point for walkers and is occasionally used for concerts, offering the performers a unique location and acoustics. For me, the panorama represented a real challenge. To record the full range of the scene required bracketed exposures which were stitched as three complete files. These were then hand-blended in Photoshop to produce the final image. This was the first time I had tried anything like this and was definitely one of those instances when one leaves a location not fully certain if everything had worked as intended, but proves very satisfying when viewing the finished image!
