This is a long exposure at Dettifoss. It was taken with a neutral density filter and the 18-55 kit lens at 18 mm. As the exposure time is 4 seconds I also used a tripod. The image is stitched from three images in portrait mode. I used an additional image for the guy standing at the waterfall. The resulting image is 9492 x 6000 pixels.

This is one of the rare occasions where I can provide an image, which documents the making of the panorama.
I took six images with a fisheye lens. After taking an image the pole was rotated about 60° before I took the next image. As the images were taken with a fisheye lens we were visible in the “nadir” of the final panorama. I retouched “nadir” and “zenith” manually in Photoshop. The real nadir and zenith were left unt(re-)touched as one shot was facing up and one was facing down.
