Sunny Winter Day

All of these photos were taken at Fenner Nature Center on February 2, 2015.  This was the day after the big winter storm that dumped about a foot of snow on Lansing and caused most of the city to shut down for the day.  We could not get out of our driveway and the city was under a state of emergency, so I walked the 9+ mile round trip to Fenner.

The first three photos in this series are composite photos.  The originals are very large and can be reproduced at a large size while retaining their high resolution.  The top photo consists of 20 individual shots, the second photo consists of five individual shots, and the third photo consists of 18 individual shots.

Rose Lake Panoramas

I photographed a number of panoramas at Rose Lake State Wildlife Area on Saturday.  The dark blue sky with the light wisps of clouds made for good photos.  The first two panoramas here are the traditional series of several photos in a row stitched together horizontally.  The bottom photo is a series of several photos where I took several in row and then took another several with the camera pointed a bit higher (twelve photos to be exact).  Even with a wide angle lens, I could not get all of what is in this photo into one frame because there was no room behind me to back up for a wider view.  This process allows me to be closer to the items I am photographing, while still getting everything into the picture.

Downtown Lansing Panorama

I created this panorama of downtown Lansing from a series of 15 photos I took last Saturday.  The Blogger settings do not let you post a full-size version of a panorama, so if you would like to view the larger file, please click here.

Fenner Panorama

The sun actually came out the other day and I had a chance to take a series of photos and make a panorama of the big field at Fenner Nature Center.  I cannot wait to try out this new panorama software with some photos of other picturesque places this summer.
