panoramic USA 180deg Monument Valley

Hi All
Here is another of the Images that has escaped me till now. In 2006 during our Visit to the US, Gary K and I were at Monument valley for one of the best afternoon photo taking sessions I have had. During the course of the session I took several images to create Panoramic photos. One of the 3 main Buttes and the entrance to the park, the other of the 3 main Buttes and the back of the park. Though they were taken at different times I have been able to combine them with the help of CS3 into one image.
Again this images helps bring back that day vividly to my mind. It was BITTERLY cold and we had to keep walking back into the visitors centre to warm and defrost our hands. Gary Kopff borrowed my Tripod to get some images to put through HDR much to his distress. It had rained heavily and even putting that in BIG CAPITOLS wont imply how heavy it was. The temperature dropped from about 30 degree earlier in the day to just about 3-4 degrees in a matter of a few hours. We didnt expect to do any sightseeing let alone several hours of taking photos but..........
You can see the results for your self
1 view from the road outside the park from the Arizona side
2 view outside visitors centre to the South
3 view from the carpark to the North
4 combined view of 2&3 into a 180 degree view looking East

Great Shots Andrew,

I like 2 and 4 with the sun poking through the Clouds leaving part in shadow and part illuminated.

Cheers,
John B.

BTW. You were there in May 2007, not 2006. It didn't really take you that long to process them

Hi John
Thanks for the reminder of when we visited the US, you are spot on it was 2007. As to the processing of the images, yes john these are all newly processed images. The 3rd image I had been able to get with CS2 processing but the others had to wait till I tried with CS3.

Truly spectacular location Andrew and very nicely presented.
Almost expect to see some Indians or Banditos galloping through this sort of vista.

Regards
Trevor
