132 KM | München – Schrankogel

Distance	132 Kilometers
By	Juanjo Diaz de Argandoña
Camera	Nikon D5100 @ ISO250 – 1/250 s
Lens	TS Photo Line 115 mm. f/7 Triplet APO
Date	May 24th 2020 – 19:35

First light on the new TS APO Refractor on the most iconic Mountain in Germany (and also, the highest) which is a landmark clearly seen from München on clear days.

This time, specially clear air allows us to see even the summit facilities.

And, if looking closely, also the very cable from the cable car can be seen descending into the Valley, in Garmisch – Partenkirchen.

To achieve the very high quality of this shot, I have used a technique which comes from Astrophotography and helps reduce the noise of DSLR images to an incredible amount: Stacking.

In Stacking, several images are taken at once (instead of a single shot) and combined in any image processing software (such as Photoshop). This removes the statistically random variablity of noise between the pixels and keeps the original object of the image much clearer.
