… but I sure can’t figure out how to share it here in any reasonable way. :-)
I was at Pacheco State Park (California) this morning, and I made it up onto a ridgetop with a view all the way across the Central Valley to the Sierra Nevada range. Having the big lens with me I decided to make a multi-shot panorama of the scene, and I ended up with a photograph consisting of eight 12 megapixel full frame images. It includes parts of the Pacheco Pass area of the Diablo Range, San Luis Reservoir, the width of the Central Valley, and a good long chuck of the Sierra.
This thing is huge: printed 16 inches tall it would be about 100 inches wide, and it would be close to 10 feet wide if printed 18 inches tall! I made a 1000 pixel-wide version, hoping to post it here, but even that size is too small in the vertical dimension. Hmmm… what to do?
