Shot this one last April, almost forgot there were two files stich. That can be a problem when you come back to thumbnails months later. Checking the time taken usually helps for that. Anyone have any tips on how they keep track of their pano work in their archives. I've heard of taking a pic of your hand right before or after to separate them but it kind of seems like a waste of space. You could change your format to small jpegs but I would probably forget to switch it back. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
Hey Steve,
I like the topography here, and the tans/yellows contrasting with the browns.
Usually the comps in the individual files for a stitch are not what you would usually compose for a single image. So they are kind of recognizeable that way. Also, for me, I usually shoot horizontals. So if I have a series of verticals, that kind of sets them apart too. I have done the hand in front of the lens approach too though.

Nice one Steve...it must look good in print...i don't shoot much panos but usually i track them by just looking at the individual shot..its a pain and I do it as soon as possible while its still in my head :-)....also, i usually name the stitched image using the file number separated by "_"...for ex, if the individual shot are 0011.jpg, 0012.jpg and 0015.jpg then the stitched image is renamed as 0011_0012_0015.jpg so that I know later which ones were used to stitch it..

I assume that thiss was taken from Zabriskie Pt. in Death Valley. I like the
color variations, lines, and various formations.

Man I love wandering around in those alluvial fans... especially under moonlight. If you haven't been there, I would think it would be hard for the viewer to get a sense of scale when looking at this kind of image. Just scrolling up a little I find I like the image a little more with about half of the darker soil cropped off (say a more 4x5 ratio). Not sure why... maybe it simplifies it a little more for me. Good stuff!
As for panorama tips, I hardly do them, so I don't have much to suggest. I know I usually put the particular images in a sub-set folder titled Pano to help me remember which images are panoramic related.

"Three Little Mines" I cloned out the scale in the first version so someone would ask to see some scale Thanks Eric.
The crop would work too, the original is just a 4x6 of the bottom.
As for the pano thing, guess I should just be happy finding a new old pano. Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, it's Zabriskie!

Zabriskie is an awesome place. I like how your captured the repeating patterns. Mother nature was on target with this one and it certainly shows well in your image. Nice work Steve.

Nicely done, Steve. I have got to make it to Death Valley this winter. Am so intrigued by this location and all the possibilities. Thanks for posting this image.
Best regards -- Bishop

Bishop,
Thanks you'll love it! If you really want to get to know the place at Zabriskie point make it a point to hike the loop trail from Golden Canyon exit through Gower's Gulch the afternoon before you photograph from Zabriskie at sunrise.

2 horizontal frames stiched
compression is kind of hurting, slid the scale down to 4 on this one.Larger cropped version for detail (fixed the link)
