Vertical Moose
After yesterday’s plane picture, I thought I better take it back to nature. I hadn’t thought about the idea of vertical panoramas until my recent post in which two horizontal images were used to create single square composition. Of course, panos are typically meant to display an impressive breadth, one which is emphasized [...]
Placid Drift
I’ve been busy working through the images from my Smith River float, but there are over 1,300 and it’s taking longer than I had expected. In all that heap of photos, today’s choice is another that stuck out at me - it’s actually a vertical panorama, despite being square format as well. The scene [...]
Camp Baker
I made it back from my rafting trip late last evening and slept as hard as I can remember. We had a wonderful time and couldn’t have asked for better weather. It snowed on us driving up to the Smith River, so we were prepared to be cold and wet the whole time, but the [...]
The Grazers
One last visit into the images from the trip up Shields Valley, this panorama shows most of the Crazy Mountain range and gives an idea of the surrounding landscape. This image was taken a bit earlier in the evening than yesterday’s post. The light was fairly flat across the scene, yet low enough to the [...]
Goblin Valley Pano
One of the neatest places I visited during my March 2006 trip to Utah was Goblin Valley State Park. I’ve posted a few images before, but I’m not sure any of them really capture the feel of this place. It’s not the type of geography that ‘wows’ you with its scale and immensity, [...]
Stonebasin
This panorama is composed of 4 images taken in mid-morning light on our way in to Lamar. The fresh snow the evening before had covered up most of animal tracks (which are everywhere in Yellowstone), adding to the smooth terrain of the foreground. Yet another example of amazing light…

Hardscrabble Pano
One of the great traverses in Canyonlands NP is called Hardscrabble. There are some comforting little campsites at its base, where you experience either an evening of over-assuredness the night before or relief the night after…depending on which direction you’re heading. This is the approach to Hardscrabble from the northeast, across a long bottom. You’re [...]
