I captured this picture at the weekend when I happened to be in Albert Docks in Liverpool. I think its quite impressive for a number of reasons:

• The size of the panoramic covers almost 180 degrees
• It was captured on my Sony NEX5 as a sweep panoramic; hold your finger on the shutter button whilst you sweep round and the panoramic is stitched in camera
• The stitching is absolutely spot on and seamless
• The image is captured as a JPG but the detail in the shot is superb
• I opened the JPG image in Lightroom for a bit of post processing and the resulting TIFF file was 65MB and measured some 44 inches wide at 300 dpi

All of these things I find impressive but they are not the reason for sharing the image with you. My reason is the colour in the image. Let me explain, although it is a little difficult.

When I moved away from shooting film (mainly slide film) to digital I quickly established the habit of setting the camera white balance to AWB and then adjusting this later in the RAW conversion
