Thursday’s Task: Panorama or vertorama landscape. My examples below:
Dead Horse Point State Park, UT
Quail Creek State Park, UT
Dan, beautiful landscapes you've captured! The foreground tree in the Golden Oaks panorama is well placed and "makes" the landscape. The Whitney Portal is also very nice––the Alabama Hills is my favorite image with light and shadows on the rocks that recede into the background.Golden Oaks, Gilroy CA

Dean, both of your panoramas are well seen and captured––I especially like your first image's layers of color and light receding into the background, perfect! Your second image is interesting with the two "layers" of foreground stone and the green hills beyond––also well seen.Aguereberry Point DV… looking the other way

Alan, very nice panoramas you've captured––and a nice tilt-shift lens with which to capture them. The drone's image is also very well captured and edited. The Rim Trail image with the prominent tree and stump placement at first seemed that it shouldn't have been "centered"––but with repeated looks I think the tree and stump work well where they are in the image. Shame on me and kudos to you! The Zion image is also nice with the interesting framing and the foreground fallen trees, The House on Fire really works well in this pano image––certainly shows how well named it is.My favorite technique for panoramas has been using the shift mode on my 24mm TS/E to take multiple frames without moving the camera. This minimizes wide field distortion to a large degree.

Far more recent technique is old fashioned multiple frames but with the use of a drone. This is comprised of multiple frames using a telephoto lens:

Ken, the Hadrian’s Wall works particularly well in a panoramic format and the Borrowdale image is nicely composed as well.From Hadrian's wall in sunshine for once.

Kyle, the Flathead Lake sunrise is a beautiful image. The Punchbowl Falls is also well done—nice composition. The Glacier Point is a breathtaking panorama but your last image, Rob Roy Glacier, is my favorite with the distant waterfalls and interesting foregound.Here are a few...

Tim, a beautiful sky and reflection complementing an interesting scene.
Jeffrey, very nice panoramic landscapes you’ve posted—with the surprising ‘stampede’ image from Iceland. The Zion image is particularly nice as well as the Death Valley longer pano—perhaps my favorite. All are well seen and captured!Zion Canyon:

Jameel, glad to see your two pano contributions—both are very nice. The first image with the warm pink mountains in the background with its blue shadow is gorgeous.Quite a collection of Panos. Enjoyed them all. Yesterday was my travel day driving from SLC to Seattle, so a bit late to the party.
