Merry Christmas Everyone!
This panorama was taken from our Christmas local star. Sure, it's not your typical Christmas picture, but I have those for tomorrow :)There's a big star shaped light ring that takes up a good portion of the mountain range near monument that is lit every year through all of December. Trevor and I, while exploring Palmer Lake today, decided it would be a fun and unique experience to try to climb all the way up to the star. Long story short, it was an 80 percent grade and Trevor got pretty far, but it took all my effort and crazy rock climbing skill (not) to get to the very bottom corner of the gargantuanly beastlike ornament. From there I quickly took a few panorama shots of the view, and this is what I got once it's all stitched together. I had to do a little creative editing because the sky way well exposed and the ground was not, but that's all fixed now. I'm really impressed with how this panorama turned out. I't just a great example of a beautiful view and a quaint little Christmasy town. You can even see the frozen lake Trevor and I ventured across!

thats pretty sick. nice panorama. very good editing on the exposure, too.
do you hand stitch your panoramas or use a program? and do you set it on manual to get all the exposure the same or do that afterwards? just asking cause its so seamless.
I have been using the program called "autostitch" for quite a while now. It automatically does EVERYTHING for you, exposure compensation, stitching, layout. all of it. It's really nice. Check out autostitch.net for the free download.
Okay so this is pretty much an amazing panoramic. Geeze. Stop being so darn talented. :)
I bet the chamber of commerce of Palmer Lake would love to have this hanging in their foyer. What a gorgeous little mountain community and what a great panorama
