Thursday’s Task

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.

The Three Patriarchs at Zion National Park:

House on Fire in the Cedar Mesa area:

Rim Trail at Silver Falls State Park:

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:

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.

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.

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.

Wow John, so many great pano submissions! I am running out of time, I need to head up into the Black Canyon tonight. I will try to upload a pano or two tomorrow when I come back out.

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!

(Your first image and third images are inadavertently repeated—but they are worth a second look! 😊).

Okay John, after shooting timelapses of the Milky Way all night, I did remember to take a few pano’s for you. I had a great sunrise too, but sadly I didn’t think “pano” until after the color was gone.

These are from the North rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Both are also in B&W to totally get out of my comfort zone. :)
