My work has been extremely demanding, and I have only had the opportunity to pick up my camera a couple of time since returning from a road trip Oct 15th.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

This particular image has been bouncing around in my head since working on a jobsite in this neighborhood.<o:p></o:p>

The image was captured about 20 minutes before actual sunrise and was created using a Canon 300mm f2.8 lens and stitching together 5 horizontal images in PS.

It was captured during one of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seattle</st1:place></st1:City>’s cold spells this winter, with the temperature this morning in the low 30's<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Awesome pano! The full size image must have incredible detail with that lens.

Excellent. And a fantastic area for photography.
Thanks for sharing. Interesting that you chose to use a supertele and then stitch.
I expect you are planning to print quite large.

I chose to shoot with the 300 and stitch because I wanted the mountains to be the main focus, as opposed to using a wide angle and the mountains just becoming a bump in the far background. As it is currently cropped the image has a 1-5 ratio and I am planning on printing it at 6 ft long for my office wall.

Just beautiful. What I would give to wake up to that each morning!
