Thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery. Faves and comments are always appreciated! Please respect my work by not printing, selling, or reposting it. If you share it via Twitter, Facebook, or tumblr, please include my photo credit. Thanks!

This is the first of several photos from my trip to Glacier National Park last August. As we were driving along Lake McDonald en route to Avalanche Gorge, we noticed how still the water was, so we looked for a good vantage point. This is a stitch of 10 vertical shots. Vantage point is facing west... Apgar Mountain and Lookout is on the left side.

NOTE: When displayed at its default size, the photo may appear a bit "soft". FULL VIEW is highly recommended for better appreciation of detail.

(Nikon D90, Nikon 18-200 lens, circular polarizer, f/22, 3 seconds, Bogen/Manfrotto tripod)

All I can say is WOW. This one looks as though you stitched several images together, but it's one image, right? It's amazing that such land and water features exist...they go on forever, esp. when comparing the relatively tiny camps along the shoreline. Very spectacular, Greg.

Thank you, Jean! Yes, this is comprised of 10 vertical shots. I was careful to keep the shutter speed and aperture relatively stable from shot to shot, and Photoshop did a good job of seamlessly stitching them together.

It did a great job. My few attempts to stitch photos together have been unsuccessful because the frames have been off in some way. I should have used a tripod, at the very least.

Tripod is mandatory for panos, at least for me. My hands are not steady enough to do otherwise. :)

My hands are pretty unsteady when using the 300mm lens, but still okay for everyday shots. There are thumb problems, though...basal joint arthritis in both! Ugh. It makes grabbing the lens barrel quite difficult.

I am sorry about the arthritis, Jean. Even without that, 300mm lenses are generally quite heavy!

They are very bulky and hard to handle, but it's still worth it when one can get that "money shot"!

The stillness of the water is stunning giving such a nice clear reflection of the majestic mountain. Great photo.
