Glacier NP Wild Goose Island Sunrise
Thanks to those that responded to my request for suggestions at GNP. Managed to capture this one yesterday. Composite of 85 shots stitched into one image. Bracketed shot at f14, 1/15th, 1/40th & 1/6th sec. and processed using Autopano Giga's LDR which is a fair HDR processor. Final image is 60" x 142 @ 300ppi

Road construction at the overlook prevents getting to the area between 7am and 8pm. The rangers won't bug you outside those hours. Just right for sunrise/sunset work.

Nice! Id probably crop out the lhs tree. Sounds like you can spare a few pixels. :razz:

Nice John. Looks like you caught some good light and decent clouds. The majority of my time was spent in the Many Glacier area.

Nice pano view. I agree with Stan about cropping the tree (or at least, cloning out the tiny section in the upper corner of sky). The mountains look like they could use some additional contrast.

I also agee about cropping the tree and would ad some contrast to everything but the dark trees.
