A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

I've only done a couple of these so far, but the results are amazing, at least in terms of detail. Now I need a better composition!
I just set up on a leveled tripod with camera set to portrait orientation (for a landscape pano), take a test shot of the area I want correct exposure for then set that as my exposure in manual, rotate and fire away. Take as many shots as cover the scene with about 1/3 overlap and extra shots on the ends. Batch process the RAW files in Luminar to get the basic post uniform, then over to PS and the Photomerge tool, then back to Luminar for editing the final stitched jpg. My laptop is usually on fire by about this time!
thanks, I dont do a lot of pano shots and, I found this shot hard to compose. Also, this one was a pain to edit. Its hard to find a spot that lends itself to a good panorama due to all the trees in my home State.
Trees can (counter intuitively) make for a decent pano if you get in close!
