So, of course, when you’re looking at any canyon you need to make a panorama, right? Well, here’s one I made at the Waimea Canyon lookout.

Sulphur Skyline Summit Tiny Planet

Something I’ve wanted to try for a while is to make a ‘tiny planet’ image from a panorama. So, up on the summit of this hike seemed like a good time to make a 360 degree panorama to use for this purpose. It turned out ok, but I think if I try it again I will try to get a little more sky in relation to ground. It’s fun to mess around with stuff like this once in a while though.

Broken Panorama

This is what happens when you try to take a 40+ image panorama hand-held, in a bit of a rush, and there is a large section that looks all the same. Microsoft ICE made a valiant effort, but I guess I just misaligned myself at some point and went off track. In hindsight I should just have switched lenses, as I could have gotten almost the whole scene in one shot with my wide-angle. At most, it would have been a single-digit panorama which would have been much easier to put together.

Peyto Lake Alberta Huge Panorama

This is officially the largest panorama shot I have taken thus far. Peyto Lake, in Alberta’s Banff National Park is a busy tourist spot and it’s easy to see why. It’s a beautiful lake (yes, it really is that color) and the viewpoint is only a 5-10 minute walk from the highway.

Because of the number of people there, I was in a bit of a rush. So, sans tripod, I just started shooting high from left to right, then down and back left for another row, then back right again for a third row. I ended up with 43 images, so clearly didn’t take the same amount of shots in each row. Amazingly, Microsoft ICE had absolutely no trouble figuring out what I’d done and pasting them all together. The resulting image was over 48,000 pixels wide and over 200 meg in size. I scaled that down by a factor of 6 to post to my website. I thought it looked cool uncropped to show the edges of the individual shots and help get a sense of the scale of it. You really need to click through and view it full screen to appreciate. The second image is a single shot taken with my wide-angle lens from a slightly different viewpoint.

Pyramid Lake Panoramas

Here’s a couple of panorama shots I took in Jasper last weekend. They were both taken from the little island just up from the resort area which I believe is called McKibben Island although it seems to also be referred to as Pyramid Island. The first is looking southwest across the main part of the lake and is a composite of 10 photos. The second is looking northeast and is made up of 19 photos. I took all of them hand-held using my 100-400 lens at 100mm in vertical or portrait orientation. Microsoft ICE did a great job of stitching them together.
