Beaver Lake
I had hoped for a great sunrise for this popular view of Beaver Lake but it didn't happen this time. Fortunately the sky lit up for a few minutes before sunrise so it wasn't a total loss.

Cambo RS-1000, P45 DB, 72mm, f16, 1 second, ISO 50

2 shot stitch

Nice pano Ed. Funny how sometimes mother nature just won't cooperate.

Doesn't look like a total loss! A really nice pano... :smile:

This doesn't look too bad Ed, especially for web presentation. I'll bet a print looks mighty fine indeed. Thanks for sharing!

Pretty dang nice, Ed...I've tried several moonrise shots from there, but never got a sky nearly this good. Beautiful!

BTW, I stopped by Scott's the other day to pick up a canvas and was stunned by your Sneffels pano. The detail was just incredible - I've never seen anything quite as nice. Really sweet...can I ask what paper you used?

Nice shot Ed. I like the orange highlights angling across the shot. This makes a great pano.

Bill,

Thanks for the compliment on the Sneffels pano! it means a lot when such a talented photographer makes a comment like that.

The Sneffels pano was printed on the HP instant dry photo satin we talked about. They have a new bayrte based paper but I haven't tried it because it is more than twice the price and I like the ID satin.

Ed, I bet this will make a very nice pano print!

This looks pretty good to me! Great composition and nice colors. What's not to like?
