Panoramic view of NE Colorado
Posted by RoxnDox, 04-07-2009, 03:31 PM RoxnDox is offline

Other than the Interstate hidden just over a slight rise down the hill to the west, there is nothing out here but a whole lotta empty countryside.

This is a view looking pretty much south. This pic is posted over at deviantart, (http://roxndox.deviantart.com/art/Co...80-S-118460121) at full size for the version I put up (4288x600). I also have a decent 360-degree pano I'm tweaking from the same set of pics.

K100D, 18-55 kit lens Mk 1, tripod mounted of course. 7 shots stitched together in PS Elements 6. All shots in Av mode with AE-lock on after setting it to brightest direction.

Nice view, good composition and the panoramic really shows just how wide open it is. I'd like to see this without the car, in May when everything is turning green, and with a polarizer (though a polarizer might not be realistic with a wide stitched set of photos).

Nice work Jim, I like the lines that the road makes in the shot and the car gives some sense of scale.

Very nice - one of the best shots of nothing to see I have seen - nice job on the pano as well. We have a lot of that type of country here as well.

Next trip is first week of June, I'll see if the weather cooperates A CPL is actually on my yet-to-acquired list I seem to take more landscapes than anything else, I really ought to have gotten one by now...

Gonna be tough to find a place to hide the car out there, though!

Thanks Stitching worked better this time compared to my first pano taken after dusk in the snow. Shot in manual this time around - I do learn even if it's a slow process!

Thanks - It does a pretty good job of illustrating that old saying "Miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles..." I'd love to get up north to the Canadian plains and see 'em myself. Now if only I can convince SWMBO on that destination...
