Panoramic Shots

Sweet Brad. You got some stellar photos from that trip, that's for sure!

Thanks. That was taken the first day when the sky had no character. I now regret not doing it again on the second morning when the light was awesome. That would have been a cool shot.

Nice shot Pathfinder. I have never seen a glacier, is the lower un-snow covered edge that blue? If so, very cool. North I should travel.

Hi Brad,

Yes, the glaciers are actually that blue, or even bluer. I toned these down a bit, and the sky was quite overcast as well.

The older, deeper ice has had all the air squeezed out of it, and it gets very, very blue.

This is a single frame of a floating iceberg, and you can see how blue it is



Here is why you do not want to kayak close to a large glacier



Actually, the falling glacial ice is not the most dangerous iceberg. More dangerous are the bergs that calve 500 feet below the surface of the water, and then rocket to the surface of the water, and keep on going - you get no warning with them at all. The water in front of Dawe's is about 700 feet deep I believe.

Very cool. Thanks for the education.

If you click on the image it will display a slightly larger version. Not sure of the best way to show such a wide image?

I took the link to your Smugmug site and viewed the original size image there. Awesome pano. Nicely done.

Ah, hadn't realized it linked, thought it just showed the picture. Learn something new every day! And thanks!

Couple panos from Lake Powell

I ended up merging these two panos to get this one.



Won me a local contest so I was online, printed in the quarterly mag, $200 to a local camera shop, and a photo seminar.
