Colorado Autumn Vista
Just getting around to processing some of the images from my Colorado trip and thought this one turned out nice enough to share.

6 shot stitch from 31mp P30+ image. 6' wide at 360dpi.

Little larger image on my blog.

This looks familiar Ed. I like what you did making a pano.

Great shot Ed, the soft light really looks nice. Did you take this from the large pulloff on Highway 62.?

Tom,

I bushwhacked up the hill from Dallas Creek Road to get the perspective I wanted. This whole area off highway 62 is incredible. I probably have 100 images from ridgway to placerville looking at parts of this range.

I really enjoy stitching into panos, Here is a 10% downrez showing some of the detail.

Ed, it's hard to get the full impact of this scene at a web presentation size but from what I can tell here this would be very impressive printed large. I have been in CO a number of times during the fall color but never in areas like this with so much color to take in. Amazing!

Ed, I can't wait to see some of this in print! You are correct, an incredible area.

Looks like a stunning image. Great location too around Ridgway-you are totally right about Dallas Creek area.

Hi Ed beautiful pano, great color and a great vista. I was really disappointed I did get out to Ridgeway this year. Hopefully the color will be that good next year.

Wonderful Ed, I really like the pano. It's a classic in every respect.
