A perfect night to try my second panorama of the milkyway. still learning as its never as easy as it seems but I am happy with the result. not perfect by any means but it's progress. I couldn't get it to stitch right in lightroom or photoshop so I used Microsoft ICE which worked really well. It's a pano made of 22 photos. I hope you enjoy. Any comments or critique welcome. I am always learning.
Walking down my path one day,
I found the end of the road.
The hot cement just disappeared
into the grass as it began
to unfold.
What is this beauty, unforeseen.
My walk has lead me
to a place so clean
As I put one foot in
front of the other,
I saw the new path begin.
Now I am on a different road.
So I've been very frustrated lately with photography and hit a bit of a low when it comes to producing images. Also, to top it all off, Flickr is now a blocked site at work - NOT COOL! Anyway, I'm very pleased to now be the proud owner of a Canon EOS 5D and as most people with Full Frame / High ISO camera's would do, I immediately cranked up the ISO to it's max to test the noise levels. So what can I say: Looking at the image above which is shot as is straight out the camera (no post processing what-so-ever) - I must say that I'm pretty pleased by it's outcome... the problem I now sit with is that I need to fork out more money for a compatible wide angle lens, most probably the Canon 17-40 f4 L USM... "SIGH - Does it ever stop?"
Shot Info:
Canon EOS 5D

Panorama created from 4 images in Microsoft Image Composite Editor.
Pilot Peak and Index peak on far right.
We had travelled down the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway after turning off the Beartooth Highway to Cody for a few days although I've elected not to upload the Cody images at this time.
Our return up the Chief Joseph Byway brought us back to the Beartooth Highway which we then followed with the Clark Fork of the Yellowstone River visible along the route from the road. The impressive peaks of the Absaroka Range formed the backdrop as we headed for the North East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park at Cooke City and Silver Gate. .
This image was taken from a spot with a good view of the Clark Fork River.
After a brief stop in Cooke City and Silver Gate, both in Montana, we headed down the North East Entrance Road and back into Wyoming to Mammoth Hot Springs before driving back into Montana again to our accommodation in Gardiner.

Cardinal Place is a retail and office development in London SW1 near Victoria Station and opposite Westminster Cathedral. The site consists of three buildings covering over a million square feet on Victoria Street next door to Portland House, and was designed by EPR Architects and built by Robert McAlpine.
The topping out ceremony was held in December 2004, and performed by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Lord McAlpine, and Ian J. Henderson, outgoing chief executive of the site's developers Land Securities.
The £200m development was built directly over the District & Circle Line Underground tunnels which actually pass through the basement. The buildings rest on rubber shock absorbers to prevent vibrations from the passing trains. The project includes 550,000 square feet (51,000 m2) of office space and 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of retail, primarily occupied by Marks & Spencer.
Microsoft UK currently occupy floor 1 of the building, floor 6 is occupied by Experian. Floor 7 is occupied by Kazakhstan's company Kazakhmys.

{Giveaway 8 of 10} READ TO END TO WIN A NEW COMPUTER, valued at $3,500.
I started photography because a friend dared me to. She called me up and asked me if I would start taking self-portraits with her. She showed me Flickr – I got hooked. We started our self-portraits that day, and two weeks later, I never wanted to stop. She didn’t keep going, and that in itself was a sign to me that I had found a passion. I couldn’t give it up.
Fast forward a few months and I was not only obsessed, but I decided - with this unfounded confidence that I tend to harbor - that I would be a professional fine art photographer. I had very, very few skills. I didn’t properly know what I was doing. But I had vision, and I believed in that vision more than anything. I was going to do it.
A year after that I had my first solo exhibition. After that I had 12 more. And then I got my first representation from a gallery. My career began one year after I started photography. Talent, vision, imagination…these things did not separate me. Sticking with it – that’s what separated me. From that first choice to keep going when my friend didn’t, to not giving up when I ran out of money and resources and didn’t think I could keep it up…my only real talent is stubborn resilience. And here we are, 10 years later, and I’m so proud.
The giveaway today is massive, and I want to thank Microsoft for supporting my career and celebrating my 10-year photo anniversary by giving away a Microsoft Surface Studio computer worth $3,500. This is the desktop computer I use and love (I get asked a lot about it) and I’m so pleased to give it away to a random winner!
