This one is 3 shots stitched using the 80-200 2.8 @ 80, f8

The detail on the original is lovely you can see the little people on the walkway etc I'm afraid the haze is a little annoying.

Oh, here is another pano from the same spot but this time with the Sigma 10-20. I wasn't sure if it would actually work with Panofactory, but it seemed to do an alright job.

the second is great because of the golden shine on the sisters. First shot was too flat. :D

No pano head, I believe all of these were handheld, it was very crowded at the look out, so I didn't use my tripod and borrowed Dougs for a wide pano that in the end I didn't really like.

agree with the others about the first looking flat.

the second one seems much brighter and has more punch.

nicely exposed too.

The haze is a pain when taking photos in the Mountains.

The second is a really nice perspective, but I think the colours / contrast need a bit of work.

Very nice Craig. You've done well with a subject that's pretty hard to get right photographically, especially on a bright sunny day. There's so much detail and interest in the shadow areas and it takes a real knack to balance that with bright canopies, rock surfaces and the sky. Any sort of compromise that doesn't clip too much of the histogram, at either end, must count as a success. :wink:
