The photo above is a 6-image panorama shot atop Lost Horse Mine Mountain in Joshua Tree National Park. An assist goes to Kevin for giving me a bubble level for Christmas that screws into my Gitzo tripod. I shot a full 360 degrees with 51 photos- 17 sets of 3 in case I wanted to use HDR. The HDR didn’t add anything in the mid-afternoon cloudless sky. The six shots above are the most interesting part of the sequence.
