You are spot on in mirroring the concept. The sky here does put icing on the cake!
But your picture is spectacular. Was this stitched or you were sufficiently far away to capture that arc with a standard lens?

P.S. explain how pixel shift can help on moving waterxand clouds. Also are you handholding or schlepping a tripod?
Hi Asher
I was on top of a cliff (so quite high.)
I had a 24-70 mounted on the KI Mk2
Shot was at 55mm, handheld, 1/640 at ƒ8 - 250 ISO
By taking advantage of the camera's SR mechanism, it captures four images of the same scene by slightly shifting the image sensor for each image, obtaining all RGB color data and luminance data from each pixel, then synthesizing them into a single, super-high-resolution composite image. It not only improves image resolving power, but also prevents the generation of false color, reduces high-sensitivity noise, and greatly improves image quality
The assembly takes some seconds, so no way to fire burst…
The great strength of Pentax K1 Mk2 is to be able to do this handheld, which was not the case before.
Pixel Shift Resolution System conceptual diagram (
from Pentax site)
1 Light
2 Color information obtained
3 CMOS image sensor receiver
4 Motion of sensor
5 Each pixel obtains color and brightness information of every RGB
Pentax makes the most of the possibilities offered by the ability to control sensor movements:
- Pixel shift
- Stabilization of the camera (and not of the lens)
- Astro tracer
PS what is "waterxand"?
