I captured these panoramas last summer on the Alpine Loop National Back Country Byway. The Alpine Loop is a gorgeous, 65-mile-long jeep trial near Silverton, Lake City, and Ouray Colorado. Most of the loop is above timberline, and all of it is gorgeous. (For wildflower enthusiasts, the loop is home to the renown Yankee Boy Basin and American Basin.) This trip was mostly a family/photo scouting trip. But I am anxious to return to photograph the beautiful scenery more intensively and in better light.
Both of these images are muti-image panoramas stitched together in Photoshop. (Once upon a time I used special pano-stitching software. Now Photoshop’s sticking is so good that I don’t bother.) The images are so high res that they would print very nicely at five or six feet across. Please click on the images for a larger version.
More soon, as I struggle to avoid falling a year behind in posting images . . .
