Horseshoe Bend Panorama
Visitors to Horseshoe Bend know the challenge of photographing the Colorado River as it winds around Glen Canyon near Page, Arizona. On an earlier trip I photographed the Canyon using a Sigma 10mm lens producing a single RAW file. Looking for a better approach this trip, I decided to try a four-image panorama--a risky venture because the Canyon is 1000' vertical drop from my vantage point and holding the camera level (no tripod) was difficult.
Although not completely satisfied, I do favor this multiple-image pano to my earlier shots. I suspect every photographer struggles with the laws of physics and the unique trade-offs that ensue. Horseshoe Bend is just that way!
