180° pano of Meteor Crater (Arizona high country) ...
180° pano of Meteor Crater (Arizona high country) ...
1x4 (@ 24mm each) pano, auto stitched in PS CS4 then further processed (including adding back features to help loosen the crop). Full-res version is nearly 13000px wide and would print at around 52"x16" (at 240dpi).
My 7 y/o on the left and my 10 y/o on the right (with random people far right who wouldn't leave no matter how long we waited).
Really needs to be seen at 2400px wide ... so click it!
Some info on the site from wiki:
Meteor Crater is a meteorite impact crater located approximately 43 miles (69 km) east of Flagstaff, near Winslow in the northern Arizona desert of the United States.
Meteor Crater lies at an elevation of about 1740 m (5709 ft) above sea level. It is about 1,200 m (4,000 ft) in diameter, some 170 m deep (570 ft), and is surrounded by a rim that rises 45 m (150 ft) above the surrounding plains. The center of the crater is filled with 210-240 m (700-800 ft) of rubble lying above crater bedrock.
The crater was created about 50,000 years ago The object that excavated the crater was a nickel-iron meteorite about 50 meters (54 yards) across, which impacted the plain at a speed of several kilometers per second.
The meteor hit the ground at an 80 degree angle from the north or northeast and it is theorized that the bulk of the remaining unvaporized 150,000 tons of the meteorite is under the crater's south rim which shows signs of uplift. The last major mining effort to recover the meteorite in that area was abandoned in 1929.
The impact produced a massive explosion equivalent to at least 2.5 megatons of TNT - equivalent to a large thermonuclear explosion and about 150 times the yield of the atomic bombs used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The explosion dug out 175 million tons of rock.
The shock of impact propagated as a hemispherical shock wave that blasted the rock down and outward from the point of impact, forming the crater. Much more impact energy, equivalent to an estimated 6.5 megatons, was released into the atmosphere and generated a devastating above-ground shockwave.

Rob, that's a cool photo!
Just photoshop out the people on the platform so only family members are in your shot! They're small enough that it would be a 1 minute job in CS3

Thought I'd share a few of mine.
