Ya sure this is not Gary?
What a contrast to Utah, I always wonder how people will interpret what they pick up on the way. In other words, how you will use painting with light, sun stars or cropping blown skys! I look forward to seeing what you come up with Glad to see you excluded the blown sky in this one:D
Marc,
I am planning on using some of the technique that I learned in Seattle next week. I am going to try and shoot Snoqualamie falls at night. Now, I just have to go buy a huge mongo flashlight. I know that the Santa shot wasn't really for this thread, but I thought he looked good. I am looking forward to seeing more of your picts when you get them up on the web. Take care and it was great to be able to pick at your brain and learn more.

Wild Utah Panoramic
It's hard to believe that a month has past since the Wild Utah Workshop.
I am sure that there are a lot more pictures to be posted from the shoot.
We spent so much time preparing for and taking great pano shots.
I just put another set of 10 pics (portrait style) together of Goblin Valley. Here is the large version.
The details (and imperfections ) can really be seen on the original size linked below.
If you look carefully, you can see Sheila, Schmooo, 2 Ians , and Andy in the pic.
Hope to see more panos from the rest of the group.:D

That's a great pano. And I greatly enjoyed the five pages of your Wild Utah pictures posted so far. Such a variety!
My pictures are taking shape, slowly. I've changed my workflow, and I'm re-learning Photoshop. All in good time.
Am I catching the hint of a rainbow over the right side of the 2nd large rock formation?? If so, I'd love to see the sky exposed to deepen that and then merged with the rest of the landscape! Of course it's possible my eyes deceive me....
Glad to see you spent some time stitching. Was this done with CS3?
I've been playing with PhotoMerge in CS3 since I got home from the workshop, and it is head and shoulders over its previous incarnations..
It seems able to stitch frames together that were not shot on a tripod but loosely hand held and shot in Manual. It is really remarkable how well it works. The ability to open all frames simultaneously in ACR and have them all opened with the same settings make pano making a lot of fun.
Here is one that I shot hand held as the sun was already below the cloud horizon - 8 frames with a 1DsMkll - I literally had less than 60 seconds to get this before the light disappeared - (I knew the light was flat but I had raced 70 miles trying to get here before the sun set, and I was on time 10 minutes before official sunset - but the horizon was occulted by a cloud layer than caused a premature sunset!! - Don't you just hate that when that happens?)
So the image is not nicely lit (I missed the grazing late evening light by less than 2 minutes) but the ability to construct an 8 frame pano that was just held up and fired off, is remarkable. Used properly, PhotoMerge will be dynamite!
Panos at infinity are easier of course; how about one hand held just at one's feet? - three frames - wide angle - just to see if it would work - the frames were not really even shot with a pano in mind, just three grab shots, the decision to try a pano came after the previous pano was constructed as an after thought.

Hi Marc. Stitching is addicting. I'm still using CS2 but expect to do the CS3 upgrade in the near future. I plan on doing a lot more panos and eventually I want to get the 24mm Tilt-Shift lens and do dual row panos.

Technically this shot was taken on the first day of the Wild Utah trip while we were still in Colorado.
