Very true... and not only that. It is very hard to get the right weather in
Apri/May.

Hi Bostjan,
Contrary to popular belief this certainly is NOT what most of the Netherlands
looks like in april. Can you believe I had to drive about 450km's criss cross
through a small part of a very small country to find a landscape like this? A
landscape not dominated by tall buildings, highways, industrial installations,
power lines, or the edges of cities?
To make matters worse (some of) those cultivators use a particular plot of land
only once in every six years for growing flowers, so most of what you see is
grass (the cow-food variety) and other crops. A spot like this turned out to be
quite rare indeed!
The panos I shot with the 50mm have a hFoV of 'merely' 180 degrees, and I used a
tripod of about three meters in height, not my 8meter pole.
They are intended to be printed on a size of 3 by 1.5 meters. Three rows from my
MkII and a printing resolution of 200dpi should yield those dimensions with ease
I think. But to print those red tulips to really look red will most likely prove
to be a challenge!
