Salt Lake Valley Panorama

This is a 32 photo panorama of the Salt Lake Valley in Utah. It is taken from the bench of the mountain  east of Red Butte Gardens. It was quite the view and It was no a long hike to get to this point. Lovely.

Salt Lake City and Salt Lake Valley from Wasatch Front looking West. Taken near Red Butte Gardens. In the distance the Great Salt Lake Can be see as well as the Oquirrh Mountains. This panorama is a composite of 32 photos.

I was up taking a little hike after a day at work and The view was quite nice. The clouds were beautiful and you could not ask for better weather. The only down side is that I found the only little cactus on the mountain while I was trying to get into position to get this shot. I found it in my leg and shoe. Cactus in not fun to take our of your flesh. But the good news is I was able to take this panorama!

So when you go out hiking remember to be prepared with water, good shoes, bug spray, etc... and pants unless you have the guts to pull barbs out of your flesh when they do not want to come out.

Agate Beach Panorama

 Most people have not heard of Agate Beach located in Mendocino, California. There are actually multiple beaches called "Agate Beach" in the world. I was told about this beach and it came highly recommended. With the details we decided to go there.

From the angle of this photo the beach is off to the right at about 90 degrees (East). If you saw this image at print size you could see a lighthouse off in the distance, north of where I took this. The lighthouse is the Point Cabrillo Light Station. We did not get to visit the lighthouse because we were exploring the beach.

Now I know some of you are wondering why it has been over a month since I made a post. It is due to this image in large part. I had to put the panorama together by hand because Photoshop was not able to do it because there were so many photos. This image is made up from 59 photos! While I was working on this I had to save it as a PSB document, or a large Photoshop file. I could not save it as a Tiff file because it was larger than 4GB is size! If I were to print this at 300 ppi (or dpi) It would be just over six feet tall!

I say all this because you may think that I took a long time on one image. Here is an example for you. I do not have the full sized image here. I obviously has to size it down. The first image is the whole image and I have cropped versions till you get close to print size. The most zoomed image is a larger file size (at print size) than the file size that you get to look at here on the computer! So enjoy!

McCammon Idaho Father's Day Panorama

What a great Father's Day present! This was the best sunset that I have seen in a great while. If you look at the photo closely you can see a rainbow on the right side of the photo. Had I taken a 360 degree photo you would have seen another rainbow.
