Autumn In The Teton's

Please Open the Large version

Good Day Y'all,

I found this scene while driving up the rocky road to Hendrick Pond in Grand Teton National Park. I really enjoyed this view of the Teton range along this road, and I came back up here a few more times to enjoy this view. My Fiancee and I had this place to ourselves, and we watched a storm on the Mountain on another night that I will be posting the future. This is a 6 image horizontal Panoramic image, and this is really the first time I have made one of these Panos. How does it look? I believe the pixel size of this image is around 18,000 pixels long, so it is a bit hard to really appreciate at this size.

Canon 70d, Canon 24-105, Tripod, shutter release cable, Iso 200, I/15, F/11, and 4 stop, 3 stop, and 2 stop soft GND's. The panoramic was processed with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop

Thank you for any thoughts y'all may have

Ryan, I wish I could see this really large because that is probably the only way we could really appreciate it. It looks great to me and I just love the contrast between the color in the trees and the background mountains. Maybe if you print it at 8 feet long I could make a trip down and see it for real. Cheers, Nick cool

I would love to see a little more vibrance to the yellow leaves.  The stitch looks fine at this size, the scene is beautiful and the pano format works well.  Should be printed large!

Ryan, as I'd only started doing panos myself a year or two back this looks just great to me. I would say the proof is in a large print as we know, but at this size it appears perfect on the stitching. I cannot tell if there is any need for change, again, larger size would be the proof you'd need to review for decisions on thoughts for change. For me no change is needed.......works nicely overall.

The Tetons are dear to my heart and this image reminds me of many trips to job sites around the valley very early in the morning. It is so hard to evaluate panos at this size but I reckon it will be a good reminder of your trip everytime you see it on your wall. Beautiful, Ryan.

Ditto what others have said about the stitch.  I would print at 24" wide and see what that reveals.  I may be alone in this, but I feel the need for the narrowest tish more of foreground.  It's just tight enough to make me wonder whether there is a guard rail there (and if there was, then this is good, but if not, it feels tight).  I'm not talking much...maybe, on the screen the equivalent of a 10 pt. font?
