| This is actually a HUGE panoramic of 8 photos stitched together in 2 rows of 4 |
I have been taking a lot of snow pictures lately. These ones are actually all from last week, and I already have more I want to post! It has been beautiful up on the mountain.
Anyway, one thing I started to play with last week is creating HUGE panoramics. Last week I posted a picture very similar to the one above. It was my initial try at taking a picture of the light in Pyramid's north bow. But the mountain was too big and I could not fit it all into the frame. So the next day I went to the exact same spot (it was another sunny day) and created a huge 2 layered panoramic. I held the camera vertical and shot 2 rows of 4 'sideways' photos and then at home I stitched them all together and got the HUGE pan (it was too big for the blog before resizing).
I really like it because it looks like a normal picture. No fish eye look that you would get with a wide angle lens to achieve the same effect. It shows the whole bowl about like you'd see it in real life. Only down side is that it does make the mountain look smaller.
I also like my new camera's 35 mm lens. It takes photos that stitched together REALLY easily. There is no distortion at the edges that creates 'tears' at the seams in the panoramics. With my older cameras you could always see the seams in the panoramics. Not so with the new camera!
I think I'll be doing a lot of HUGE pans in the near future!

| Monochromatic light! |

| There is a lot of rime and blowing snow in this photo! |

| This is another HUGE pan |
 |
| Only 6 pictures stitched together in this one - I wanted to highlight the rime on the rocks in the foreground |
 |
| This was the biggest pan of all - 10 pictures stitched together in 2 rows of 5 |
