By the way, the movement isn't video shot from the drone, these are high resolution panos made with the drone's still camera. The movement is done with a Ken Burns effect in Fotomagico.
Thanks Douglas, I watched it the first day it was released. Incredible feat and great show. They didn't get much press in the western climbing world because they only did the technically easy routes on each peak, and I guess just doing them super fast one after another was seen as more of a...
Some of my favorite pictures from a fall trip to southern Utah. Fotomagico slide show video export.

I just posted some color images over in Landscape, but as usual converted many to B&W.

The drone makes it easy to get nice snow pictures without footprints!
Thanks for all the comments guys. Yes, Jim, I consider myself very lucky to live here. 30 years ago I landed a teaching job in the area but had never been here before. Now I can't imagine living anywhere else.
Thanks for all the comments. I'm partial to the A7 pano myself.
Alan, if you want to fly your drone in rough country, esp. snow, you'll want to learn to hand launch and catch. I have pretty long arms so am not worried about the rotors getting too close to my head. Best practiced many times in a...
I went X-skiing up The Mountain Loop Hwy with my wife last week and had a great time. Fresh deep snow was heavy in the trees so it was a winter wonderland. I only had my iPhone 13 Pro, which did a great job as usual, but I really wished I'd brought a real camera.
After a few days of rain in the...
Yesterday I posted a color shot taken a bit later when the sunrise color was at it's best. Still gray at this point so a B&W conversion was in order. I think the lone kayak fisherman makes it.
Alan, you could always just snap 2 or 3 quick shots for median blending, should work fine for many distant landscapes, not so well with moving subjects like water (which are difficult for the burst/blend also).
Have fun Alan! I'd like to have that drone to carry hiking for just video which seems to be on a par with my Mavic 2P.
For stills I shoot manual, RAW bursts of 5 so that I can process in ACR, median blend for noise reduction, then bring back into ACR for pano stitching. That sunset pano is...
Thanks for all the comments guys. I agree with the two layers of clouds Jim. There was another photographer there shooting a time-lapse and hope he got some good movement as the lower clouds moved in to hide the upper show. On second look I like Jameel's suggestion and went back to try the crop...
Sorry Amy, but when I first saw this I actually said, "No," out loud as my eyes struggled to focus. What looks like a reverse vignette also doesn't work for me, drawing my eye to the blurry edge. I do see that you had a nice composition that I think would have worked for me as a traditional photo.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
