Panoramic Crazy

I haven't been spending much time here at the Trailpixie hangout on the web because I have been working in the real world on some cool photography techniques. Check out Max Lyons Panoramic Images for a cool primer on digital panorama and mosaic images.

A few weeks ago, the dog woke me up at 5:45 am on a Sunday morning with a dire emergency requiring her to visit the yard. As you can imagine, I was pissed. But when we stepped out the back door the clear, dark dawn with the stars shining bright revealed that it was a perfect day for picture-making. So Instead of going back to bed, I set out to capture this panoramic image near Brown's Bridge in Maryland. I wish I had been able to set my equipment up sooner because I might have caught the beaver in this panoramic photo. This panorama uses three images stitched together with tools that are described at Max Lyons site I mentioned above. That morning, I saw a beaver, two blue herons, and a bald eagle. Not too bad for a morning started byour dog's small bladder.
