Thanks.

The sky was gorgeous, wasn't it?

Wadi Rum, Jordan

One of my favorite places!

Wow and very nicely captured. Love the color variations and the transition from smooth sand to the craggy rocks.

A couple of mine. I got an 8mm lens just for these types of shots.

Somewhere in CO

Moab

No clue where this is- probably somewhere in NV

Experimented with something a little different on my last trip, combined 30 images taken at 50mm(x2), f2.8.

Fun thread.

Here are a couple of 2010 pans from Swiftcurrent Lake, Glacier National Park, sunrise and mid-day.

Both were from my Canon S90 pocket camera, handheld, stitched.

Here are a few from 2004 in China.

These were all taken handheld with a Canon 1D MkII.


Manually husking hand-planted, hand-cultivated, hand-picked corn




This is a tough vertical pan of a very tall statue housed inside a building. If I recall correctly, it was >20 meters tall. Modern stitching tools, such as current versions of Photoshop, would greatly improve this pan. The tools available back then really struggled with this one, especially the distortion introduced by the short lens.

This is a good example of what happens when you are very close to a large subject and attempt to use a stationary camera pan to cover the entire area. Note that I am looking directly down at the feet, as you can see the open top of the offerings there, and am looking almost directly up at the face.




Obligatory Great Wall pan.

Pans arguably work best for large-scale, grand, "open top" subjects such as this where the panorama accentuates the main horizontal or vertical features of the subject.
