Winter's Last Hurrah..I Hope
I am ready for spring but the "blizzard" that hit over the weekend provided me with one last chance to get out and photograph some white stuff. We had about 14" of snow which made for some tough hiking but beautiful conditions. This is a 7 image stitched pano taken in Glen Helen State Nature Preserve in Yellow Springs, Ohio on Sunday AM.

Nice. This is a very pretty scene. I like the shutter speed you used to capture the falls, but I do think brightness of the left side of the image needs to be boosted a little to match the right. Also, while I like the panorama, I kind of miss not seeing the snow of the trees. Of course, if your wind matched ours, there may not have been that much snow on the trees anyway.

Were you standing in the water when you took this? Looks like it. Thanks for posting.

I was standing on a little rocky point. There was a lot of snow left on the trees but I cropped where I did to keep the foot bridge just above the upper cascade out. I merged the image in PS CS2 using Photomerge.

Nice shot. The merge was well done.

Kirk - looks quite nice. Only nit is that the water coming over the falls seems a little dark compared to the snow. Otherwise this is quite nice....

Unfortunately all that snow missed us here in central Indiana - no snow pics this winter for me!
