A Shifty Sunset Panorama at Reflection Lakes

My favorite lens for shooting panoramas at Reflection Lakes in Mt. Rainier National Park has always been my trusty EF 24mm TS-E. Its just the right focal length for the scenes at those lakes and being able to use the shift feature on the lens allows me to get 3 shot panoramas with almost zero vertical distortion since the film plane remains stationary through the sequence of captures in the frame. I have yanked this lens out every visit to this place over the past 15 years and it has consistently put a smile on my face. I'd love to see Canon put out a new RF mount version of this lens but I suspect the engineers are still debating whether to make it out of unaffordium or unobtainium :)

I find it easier to shoot the mountain reflection in the mornings. Less windy. Plus, there is a chance of some fog as well.

Thanks Murali - I have shot several sunrises there and this is actually the first time I have shot a sunset. Mornings can be absolutely magical with perfectly still waters and rising mists. I would have gone up there the morning I shot this but there was still moderately thick wildfire smoke that didn't clear up until mid morning.

That's an awesome view Alan, and that lens does it justice.

Thanks Jim - the most awesome view for that evening was down next to the small pond in the lower left of this frame. That's where Jameel took up residence to get good reflections. By the time I moved down there he had already shot all of the good color and it was hiding in his memory card :)
