Great Sand Dune Pano
My parting effort before leaving the Great Sand Dune National Park and Preserve was taking 46 images that span the expanse of the Northern view of the dunes at around 6 PM. This panorama covered a distance that measured over 4.5 miles. To take these images, I used a Sony 24-240mm zoom set at around 139mm with a vertical framing using a Sony A7R3 with manual focus using a f/14, 1/320 shutter speed, and ISO 100. The complexity came in post processing trying to stitch together 46 images where each has a file size over 46 MB. I first tried Lightroom's Pano's program option and it failed. I then tried Photoshop and got the same results. After Googling for an option, I tried Panorama Stitcher Pro (youtu.be/nmBdxFLuFnM) and it successfully stitched together this 8.09 GB file. Of course I then had to output it at a much small file size to meet the file size limits in flickr. Really worthwhile effort to learn on. Check out these other flickr photos from this location, see: Colorado Fall Colors and Great Sand Dune Grass.
