Pano Problems Along the Trail

Along the Trail

Another view of Mono Lake take while hiking back from Parker Lake in the Eastern Sierras.  This is a pano of about 20 images . . . but if you compare the sky in the upper left and upper right corners of the photo, you will notice serious color differentiations.  The dividing line is the pine tree in the center, and then moving left (dark) to right (lighter).

I had my polarizer on the lens, but shifted it during the taking without realizing it.  Problem!  I think I’ll shoot next time without it.  Still, I liked this well enough to post.

A View to Mono Lake

We spent the last week up in the area of Mammoth Lakes, located on the eastern slope of the Sierras, up Highway 395.  Can you believe I have never been up that road?!?

We hiked and ate and took pictures and saw the sites.  The weather was superb.  We had to adjust from living at 800 feet above sea level to going up to 8000 feet and higher – shortness of breath (SOB!), dry eyes and nose, and so on.  We got comfortable at 8000, but moving up, like in walking uphill, became a challenge at times, so we would rest and then continue.  This gave for a lot of wonderful opportunities to look around, take in a breath of sage and pine, and snap away.

This view of Mono Lake is from the Parker Lake Trail, and is created from a montage of about 8 images.  Click on the image for a bigger version.
