Just a quick post today, sorry for the lull in activity lately. I’ll have some more content up asap, as well as a few announcements.
Before I forget, don’t forget to take a look at the recently announced workshop: Alaska’s Southern Coast, June 11-18, 2010.
This panoramic was shot yesterday morning at sunrise. I was shooting mainly from the South Overlook, along the Parks Highway, north of Talkeetna. I observed a visual distortion through my Live View viewfinder as I was composing and focusing the photos I took yesterday morning. There was an apparent temperature differential shimmering in front of the mountain(s). It created this moving rippling effect, like a mirage shimmering, and ever so slightly bent the light. Unfortunately, this translates into a slightly softer photograph than I would have liked. Fortunately, our upcoming winter should “remedy” that. Good times ahead!

This is a pano blend of 3 images shot side by side, then merged in Photoshop.
Stay tuned.
