This is my first attempt at using Photoshop's "photomerge" function. This is actually 6 pictures taken overlapping each other from left to right. Then I attempted to merge them together to form one panoramic photo. It would have been longer but I was a bit too cautious in my overlapping.
I'm pretty pleased with my first result and now know what I need to do differently for the next one.
Of course my Photoshop expert friends (Dale, Jan and um . . . Ben!) would do a much better job - but I'm learning!
This is at Sunset Point, Bryce Canyon, Utah. We hiked a bit down into the canyon on Peekaboo Loop but the temp was in the 90's and climbing and by the time we decended over 600 feet it was sunny and getting warmer (and this trail desends another 900 feet). I kept thinking about the ONE bottle of water I had already had half of (between us - Bill carry water?!?!?!?) and figured I needed to head back up. I know, wimp! The Navajo Trail is an easier hike and will be better in the cool of the morning. Hoping to do that Tuesday, early.
Shot tons of pictures - hard for them to do the scenery justice. It still surprises me when we meet people - especially RVer's who are on a trip to all these places who still carry film cameras!!! By the time you buy film, get it developed and make copies for everyone, you could have bought an entry level, good digital camera and shared them via e-mail to everyone and even printed a set out at Costco! And I think of all the photos you miss because you are conserving.
I felt so badly for this 8yr. old at Bryce Canyon yesterday. He had a digital camera and was having a blast taking all sorts of interesting pictures, including one of me waving at him! His father kept telling him it was enough and that he had already taken too many pictures! Isn't that the beauty of digital? What a spoilsport! OK, maybe he didn't have a way to save them off the camera . . . I just felt sorry for the kid. Just think if we all had had the opportunity to take a million pictures of family vacations when we were kids. Can you imagine the history we would have?
I'll try to post some of the canyon later.
have a great week!

Hey kiddo,
Very nice, I am impressed, after our phone conversation I knew what I would be looking at.
Sorry that little boy had to stop taking pix. But he will grow up & buy his own like someone I know.
