Garden of the Gods, West face.
This is a seven shot pano that I took today. It has been overcast, cold, and snowy for the last 36 hours or so. The sun finally started to peek through the clouds just before sunset. The skies to the south and east were finally showing some blue. Even at 'original' size, it doesn't come close to showing the original detail. The Pano TIF file is about 7000 pixels without manipulation. This will easily print at about 40 inches wide at high resolution!
Canon EOS 20D, 50mm f1.4 lens, 1/200 sec, f20, ISO 400


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Looks like a movie backdrop for an alien planet. Great photo!

Spectacular image! Having visited (actually ran a race in) the Garden of the Gods only in summer, I've never seen a winter shot. That is going to make a beautiful print. I've never attempted to stitch together a panorama, but I don't think I'd have ever guessed yours was a multi-shot image if you hadn't mentioned it. Nice work.
