Glacier -- My First Pano

[ChrisP6]

After hearing Marc and Andy pushing panoramas, I took several, but this is the first one I got to stitch right. It's a little over the top, but that made it all the more fun. Feedback (especially on cropping) is very welcome and appreciated!

Looks great. Could we per chance see it larger??

Great to see you at Glacier :thumb

I think this needs some sky. Is this cropped? Would love to see it a bit larger too...

Love the smooth water :)

Aren't panos addicting?

Thanks guys,

Well, I don't know how to make the picture larger in the thread (any tips Andy?), but here's a link to the smugmug folder where I think the original has been downsized by a factor of two or three to fit smugmugs file size limitations. http://pqphotography.com/gallery/3585843

I agree that it would be nice to see more sky, but as you went up from here, it was pretty much all white. More importantly, I had a 120-300mm zoom on the camera at the time (waiting for Moose), and did the sweep at the 120mm end of things.

Thanks Andy -- looks like the trick is that "-L" on the ending.

Lest you thought I gave up after one -- here are a few more. For pixel peepers, the originals are available in this gallery: http://www.pqphotography.com/gallery/3572975/1/207650732#P-3-15.

I (http://www.pqphotography.com/photos/207579987-L.jpg) need to mess with this one in PS -- good one to develop skills on.

It (http://www.pqphotography.com/photos/207578743-L.jpg) would have been nice to have a more interesting sky, but I liked the trees.
